When we’re scrambling for small gifts to include in our child’s Christmas stocking, we often end up buying a lot of plastic tat that rarely gets looked at and usually ends up in the bin by New Year.
Instead, why not try some of these practical gift ideas that can help to encourage your children to try new foods and to have some fun in the kitchen.
1. Kid Safe Knives
Kid Safe Knives are a great option for encouraging your child to help out in the kitchen and increase their exposure to new foods.
2. Toddler Chopper
For toddlers and younger children try this wooden chopper. It works great on softer fruits and veggies like banana, strawberries and tomatoes.
3. Mini Tongs
Presenting food family style in the middle of the table and letting children serve themselves is a great way to encourage independence and control around eating. They’ll have a lot of fun plating up their meal with these mini tongs.
4. Fussy Eating Book
Books about fussy eating with fun characters is a good way to discuss food and eating with your children without the focus being on them. This book follows Dadda Panda on one of his parenting missions as he gets his cute panda twins Blossom and Bamboo to become more adventurous eaters.
5. Pick Sticks
Pick Sticks are my own product designed to make food more fun and interesting to children. Make your own fruit and veggie kebabs, sandwich skewers and so much more with these colourful and durable sticks.
6. Snack Bags
I love these reusable snack bags. Brilliant for lunch bags or to take on days out and fill with lots of healthy snack options.
7. Crinkle Cutter
Sometimes simple foods like potato wedges or carrots just look more appealing to kids when crinkle cut. And another great way to get kids in the kitchen helping to prep meals with you.
8. Rice Baller
Another fun gadget to turn simple rice into fun little balls. It can also be used to make energy bites.
9. Mini Forks
If you have a child who struggles with cutlery then these Mini Forks might be a good alternative to try.
10. Veg Peeler
Again, anything that encourages your child to get into the kitchen helping to prep and make food is a great idea. This kid-safe peeler is another tool that they will love.
