If there's a kid in your life who loves to cook, you know how tricky it can be to cook with them. You have to vet the recipe before you begin and figure out how they can help: Can they measure and mix? Are there tools involved they aren’t big enough to use yet? How long will the recipe take — and is there a chance they’ll lose interest halfway though?

Now, it might sound like a bold claim, but these kits have all the answers. I’m not even kidding. They all include directions that are easy to follow (some even have handy pictures to help kids through the process!). And if an adult should oversee a step or two, the kit will explain everything. Take all the guesswork out of your next baking or cooking adventure with your little one and simply enjoy your time together with one of these kid-friendly kits.
