Curious Chef – Get Your Kids Cooking at Full STEAM

by Ann McGrath

  I loved cooking when I was a child. By the time I was 8 years old I was making dinner for my family and looking through my mom’s cookbooks for fun.  Now that I have kids of my own, it’s important to me to share my love of cooking with them. Curious Chef products are the perfect tools to do just that. There is so much to love about bringing kids into the kitchen with you, and Curious Chef is committed to this idea.  Curious Chef believes that teaching children to cook builds essential life skills like self-confidence, good eating habits, promotes ownership, fosters math and science skills, listening and following directions, teaches vocabulary, and encourages spending family time together.  These are all qualities that I truly believe are benefits to teaching children to cook, and I was delighted to find a company that shared my feelings so closely.   Curious Chef products impressed me with their quality right from the start. For example, Nylon knives are serrated and have a blunt … [Read more...]

Kuhn Rikon KinderKitchen Essentials Set = STEAM in Action

by Ann McGrath

Kuhn Rikon KinderKitchen Essentials Featured Image

Disclosure: We received a set of Kuhn Rikon KinderKitchen Essentials for review, all thoughts are entirely our own. I love cooking with my daughter. There’s something so fun and satisfying about spending time together in the kitchen and preparing a meal.  More than that, there are so many benefits to teaching your kids to cook.  Not only does it set them up to have healthy eating habits for life, but cooking is the perfect STEAM learning activity, combining science, math, and creativity.  I have found that when my daughter cooks with me, she is much more adventurous about trying new foods and is much more willing to eat a meal that she made. I jumped at the chance to review Kuhn Rikon Kinderkitchen Essentials Knife Set.  Kuhn Rikon is a family owned Swiss company that has been in business for over 80 years, which certainly speaks to the quality and utility of their products.  The Kinderkitchen Essentials set is no exception and did not let me down. First of all, … [Read more...]

Discover Kids Dinosaur Factivity

by Ann McGrath

dinosaur factivity

As the mother of a curious and precocious six year old, I am a big fan of all of the STEAM toys that are available lately. I especially like any opportunity I get to reinforce the idea to my daughter that she is free to enjoy whatever it is she likes and that there is not such thing as a “girl’s toy or boy’s toy”. My daughter told me she wants to be a paleontologist when she grows up and I like that idea. The Discover Kids Dinosaur Factivity is a perfect toy for any up and coming dinosaur hunter. The first and most prominent feature is a ten piece dinosaur model that your child can assemble. My daughter and her dad had a great time putting together this triceratops and going over all of the features of the skeleton. My six year old needed some help from her dad, but the bones assemble pretty quickly and easily. The final product is a very cool miniature skeleton. Even better is the Land of Dinosaurs book that accompanies the skeleton with the Discover Kids Dinosaur … [Read more...]

Table Time Look & Lean Mostly Math Tablecloth

by Ann McGrath

As a parent of a kindergartener I am constantly looking for ways to enrich my daughter’s education outside of the classroom.  We are fortunate to be in a school district with a STEM curriculum and the Table Time Look & Learn Mostly Math Tablecloth is a perfect tool to bring those lessons into our home in a fun and colorful way. Table Time Look & Lean Mostly Math Tablecloth This beautiful table cloth is made of PEVA so it wipes clean easily and is terrific to put on your table for fun conversation and lessons over meals.  Or, you can do what we did and spread it out over the floor.  With a washable marker (not dry erase) in her hand, my daughter went to town on this thing and made the rounds examining every one of the beautiful illustrations and filling in the different math problems. This tablecloth covers topics that children need to master to advance from pre-K through first grade so it was just perfect for my daughter and provided fun and challenges in … [Read more...]
