There are eight different kits, so kids with different pretend taste buds can find the perfect pretend food to make. Families can choose between the pizza, waffle, ice cream, nacho, cookie, pie, peanut butter and jelly, and baker (cupcakes) kit. Everything included in the kit resembles items kids will see when they start practicing their cooking skills with real food.
Kids can scoop peanut butter and jelly-colored sand onto bread, use cookie cutters to make play sand cookies, and more. The kits encourage creativity, help little ones develop their fine motor skills, and can establish a love for cooking — as well as an understanding of cooking basics.
To celebrate the collection, Little Tikes has partnered with food artist and content creator Beau Coffron, who parents will recognize as Lunchbox Dad. Coffron creates fun dishes inspired by the lunches he packs for his kids and provides tips, recipes, and more to other parents. Now, through an Instagram and TikTok series, your family can watch and be creative alongside Coffron as he plays with the Creative Chefs kits!
