Made for little hands and real cooking

Designed by a mother on the Gold Coast, this Montessori-inspired cooking set gives children their own tools for measuring, mixing and preparing food alongside a grown-up.

The set includes:

  • A stainless steel mixing bowl with a non-slip base
  • A wooden measuring cup and silicone measuring spoons
  • A whisk and masher
  • A wooden chopping board
  • Two child-friendly wooden knives
  • A silicone non-slip mat
  • Visual recipe cards featuring real food photographs and storage bag

From mashing a banana to whisking pancake batter, there are so many little jobs children can proudly help with.

What makes it Montessori-inspired?

Montessori-inspired activities encourage children to take part in everyday life, using tools that are suited to their size and abilities.

In the kitchen, that might mean allowing your child to scoop flour into a bowl, pour in the milk or help prepare soft fruit. These small, meaningful tasks give children the chance to practice their coordination, build confidence and experience the satisfaction of contributing.

Recipes little cooks can follow

One of our favourite features is the set of visual recipe cards. With photographs to guide each step, children can look at the pictures and follow along with a grown-up, even before they’re reading independently.

The cards offer a starting point for talking about ingredients, choosing what comes next and celebrating the finished creation.

Simple ways to get started

You don’t need to plan an elaborate baking day. Start with a small task that feels manageable for you and your child:

  • Wash fruit together for a snack.
  • Mash a banana to add to porridge.
  • Measure and mix ingredients for pancakes.
  • Prepare a bowl of yoghurt with favourite toppings.

Let your child take their time, offer help when needed and enjoy the process together.

A thoughtful gift for curious little cooks

If you’re looking for a considered gift that can be enjoyed again and again, The Little Method Kids Cooking Set is a lovely choice.

Recommended for ages 3 years and over, with adult supervision. A grown-up should stay close while children use the tools and take care of any hot surfaces or cooking equipment.
