Looking for a kid baking kit or
I love my parents, but there is something they didn’t do well for me as a kid….
They didn’t really teach me how to cook.
Now, this isn’t necessarily their fault… neither one was a great chef or particularly enjoyed cooking themselves. Convenience and mass amounts of food were the priority, not fancy kitchen experiments that their picky eating kids may or may not even eat.
Practicality won over in the meal department.
As a kid, that was fine by me!
Food Subscription Boxes for Kids
As an adult… I’m stuck not knowing and not wanting to cook a lot, and it’s why I’ve experimented with Blue Apron and Hello Fresh cooking subscription boxes in the past.
Thankfully, my husband cooks amazing meals for our family so I don’t have to stress about it!
But, I want better for our kids! I want them to love experimenting in the kitchen, and not be intimidated by cooking and baking techniques, various utensils, and appliances, or foods!
That’s why I thought it would be fun to try out some kids cooking subscription and kids cooking kits!
The kits will teach them how to make yummy foods and learn new kitchen skills at the same time.
Seems like a win for me too, since we homeschool and the culinary arts are not my strong suit.
Cooking Courses for Kids
If you want some great kids cooking courses, I love the ones by Kids Cook Real Food like:
- Teach Kids Knife Skills and Safety
- Kids Cook Real Food eCourse (try it free here)
- Healthy Snacks Your Kids Can Make
- Instant Pot & Slow Cooker Meals Kids Can Make
- Healthy Breakfasts for Kids to Make
Also, we absolutely LOVE The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs and its partner cookbook for kids called The Complete Baking Book for Young Chefs.
We have loved almost every single recipe we’ve made (and we’ve made several now), the pictures are awesome, it teaches them how to do things, and explains the science behind baking and cooking. LOVE!

I really want to teach my little man to cook but I’m not that good at it myself. Lol I didn’t even know they had subscription boxes such as these until I read this post. I’ll have to try one out now. Thanks for sharing!

We learned to bake as children, and I think it’s a skill everyone should know. We love to make pizza, spaghetti, and cakes at our house

I’m afraid we were quite disappointed with Harlow’s Harvest. My first concern – the website clearly states in several places that you can cancel at any time, when, in reality, I’m told you can’t once you sign up for a subscription.
Concern #2 – there is work needing to be done on age appropriateness. We purchased this as a gift for our grandson, age 4. Month one the kit came with a garlic press – well, okay, but seems a bit advanced for a four year old. Month two was a rice paddle. Also a sort of off the wall choice, but again, okay. But the crux of the problem was that of the numerous recipes included with the box, only one used the item that was sent. So one recipe using the garlic press but multiple other recipes that were not related to garlic. Ditto with the rice paddle. Additionally, while a shopping list and science experiments were also tossed in, they were over a four year old’s head. And the science experiments, while a nice idea, had nothing to do with the garlic press or the rice paddle. So it’s a good idea but very disjointed in it’s implementation. I think a lot more work needs to go into matching age appropriate skills with baking and cooking tasks.

Cakes and pancakes are two of my children’s favourite things to bake. I’m expecting that the kid’s baking kit will be therapeutic to them.
