We Love This Month - November 2008
There are so many
great products on the market, and so many ingenious designers and inventors
coming up with innovative new solutions to amuse, educate and entertain our
kids, or make a parent's life easier, but how do you know which are worth spending
your hard earned money on? Easy! The CNE Review Panel tests and reviews dozens
of new products every month, so you don't have to. Now we have created a brand
new page that will feature all the products we feel are well worth your investing
some of your precious time checking out!
This month, the product that
we have all fallen inlove with is The Little Playful
Chef Deluxe Cooking Kit - here's why...
Little
Playful Chef Deluxe Cooking Kit
 I've
never met a child that doesn't love to cook. I love to watch my little granddaughter,
Eliza, who's just two years old, and my grandson, Joel, who has just turned
four, elbow deep in a bowl of a pastry or cake mix; to see the joy on their
little faces as they get to play 'grown ups' and employ all their senses in
creating something that the whole family can enjoy.
So, unsurprisingly, when the Little Playful Chef
Deluxe Cooking Kit for children aged 3-5 turned up in our office recently, I
had several good reasons to examine, explore and evaluate this product.
From the kid-sized tools and apron to the recipe
cards with their helpful hints and interesting tidbits, the Little Playful Chef
Deluxe Cooking Kit passed all our criteria for a wonderful gift for children
of both genders. As a parent you can feel good about the underlying lessons
your child will learn: nutrition, food safety, measuring, and following directions,
and even better about making memories and creating bonds that will last a lifetime.
Each Playful Chef Kit is packed into a snazzy backpack
that contains hands-on lessons in kitchen safety, age-appropriate cooking skills,
science, measuring, nutrition, seasonings, clean up, and the fun of eating and
sharing what you create. The kits include:
- 5 delicious, easy-to-follow laminated
recipe cards that follow a ten-system plan complete with helpful illustrations
and color-coding
- An overview of how to teach your child
in the kitchen
- Safety scissors, a sand timer, a whisk,
a wooden spoon, a spatula, and a pastry brush, all perfectly sized for a kid
to use
- A cool red cotton twill tool belt apron
for easy tool storage and handy access that is adjustable for all sizes
- A set of color-coded measuring spoons
- A set of color-coded measuring cups,
which make measuring a cinch
- A kid-sized baking pan for baking special
treats
- A kid-sized mixing bowl for mixing magic
- A vinyl kid-sized Playful Chef backpack
that’s chock full of fun just waiting to happen!
Produced by Playful

The
Playful Chef De Luxe Cooking Kit is available in two versions, for ages
3-5 (price around $39.95) and for ages 6 and upwards. Other products include:
