Cooking with kids tools

The rolling pin and pizza cutter are perfect for tinier hands and the pizza stone is a little smaller to produce the perfect pint-sized pizza.

These primary colored mini bowls make it easy for them to set up everything they need from herbs to chopped veggies, so they are organized when it's time to get cooking. Little kids can't always comprehend the "hold the bowl with one hand, stir with the other" mantra, so this tool comes in handy.
