Merch Monday 2/14; Child friendly gadgets for young chefs!

Welcome back to this week’s Merch Monday, where we find some of the coolest, cutest, and most unique items for your kitchen. This week we’ll be looking at child-friendly items for the young chef in your home!

shopDisney has a number of wonderful kitchen items, but we are particularly charmed by their Mickey Mouse 90th Anniversary Double Flip Waffle Maker! This waffle maker makes six Mickey-shaped waffles — three on each side — and features an adjustable browning setting, nonstick baking plates, plus this waffle maker is easy to rotate! The design features Mickey’s eyes on one side, with his classic red shorts with white buttons on the other. This will make breakfast more fun in any house. After all, Mickey-shaped food just tastes better.

Children (and adults) love cookies. So why not let your little baker create their own cookies? This William Sonoma Kids Bake and Create Cookie Set comes with 30 pieces to help your little baker get started! Seriously, this kit has it all;

"10″ silicone-coated stainless-steel whisk8.25″ mini spatula1.5-qt. mixing bowl with lidRolling pin10 plastic cookie cuttersNonstick jelly roll pan4 stainless-steel icing tips8 disposable icing bagsPlastic couplerKid-size red Williams Sonoma cotton apronStorage box"

This is the perfect starter kit for kids, showing them their interest and passion can be taken seriously. For $99.95 this kit is a steal, and makes the perfect birthday (or any holiday) gift!

Children love to cook too! These items will help build your child’s kitchen collection while encouraging them to hone their skills!

If your child is a fan of Master Chef Junoir, surprise them with this classy Master Chef Junior Cooking Essentials Set! This 9 piece set comes with the essential tools your child needs to create their own culinary creations;

Both this and the William Sonoma set are a great way to introduce children to the exciting world of cooking. Topped with the whimsical Mickey Mouse Waffle Maker, you have the tools you need (and to build on) for every junior chef in your life!

Slow cookers are popular with all kinds of people, children included! While most slow cookers are boring to look at, and can also be too big for children to handle, this Pikachu 2-quart slow cooker is perfect for smaller arms and hands! This slow cooker is perfect for side items such as mac and cheese, veggie dishes, or anything else your child might think of! Plus this is just plain fun to look at.
