My daughter was very excited when the box with the 6 Piece Fruit and Veggie Prep Kit arrived. Right away she thought it was for her. She is really getting into cooking. The kit includes a nylon knife that cuts food, but not skin. Since it is not metal, it is perfect for cutting lettuce, too. Metal knives can turn your lettuce brown. Nylon does not. The kit also includes a melon baller, apple slicer, vegetable peeler, and a large silicone mixing spoon. My daughter fell in love with the vegetable scrubbing brush…….don’t ask me why! She has been a scrubbing fool! I had to put a stop to it when she started scrubbing her brothers. Although, sometimes I think they need scrubbing more than the vegetables. LOL! Curious Chef also throws in a shopping list and some stickers to make things extra fun. These are all real kitchen tools for kids. Sure you could buy them some toys, but why not the real thing?
The knife is BPA free and good for kids 4 and older. I really like the rubber grips on the handle. They seem to help keep a solid grip on the handle. We tried out the kit making a salad and it worked really well. The vegetable peeler is sharp so be aware of that with younger children. The knife worked well, but it takes some work to get through harder items. I don’t think it would work well on softer items as it may just tear through them rather than actually cutting them.
In short………..we love our Curious Chef kitchen tools. My daughter gets out the tools and creates snacks and small meals for herself and her brothers. I pretend not to notice because I love to see what she creates on her own.
Here is a salad we made together using our Curious Chef Tools. Teaching your children the skills they need to cook is one of the most important things you can do for their future health. Why not make it fund bonding time too.
Little M’s Spring Fresh Salad
- Spring Mix Greens
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Mandarin Oranges
- 1 Cucumber
- Use your Curious Chef vegetable peeler to peel the cucumber.
- Using your Curious Chef knife slice cucumber and quarter the strawberries.

My kids would love this!
The tools are really cool! It's so fun for them to have tools of their own.
Amari loves to help! She's a wiz at baking, with a little help putting things into/out of the oven. Eliana likes to feed the fruits/veg into the juicer!
Sounds like you are doing a great job teaching your kids to cook Amy. Way to go!
How wouldn't we use these! LOL My boys love getting into the kitchen.
I love to hear your boys like to cook. When my oldest son was young he loved to wear his Iron Chef apron.
My boys love to help me cook. My oldest is a fantastic pizza maker, I can't stretch the dough the way he can to make something that resembles a circle. Would love to have my younger ones help wash fruits and veggies. Thanks for the chance to win.
Thanks for stopping by Tanya! Sounds like your kids are quite active in the kitchen. That is so cool! Pizza dough is something my son helps me with too. That is too funny!
This is awesome, I've always got kids in the kitchen so this is great for teaching safety- Nicole Fobare
Hi Nicole! You "always have kids in the kitchen". That is music to my ears!
This is great! My kids are a little old for this…they no longer cook with me, but they do all cook by themselves. I am going to tell my sister in law about this!
Your kids are older, but the knife works great on lettuce. It's nylon so it doesn't turn your lettuce brown. And then there is always the scrubber……..family fun for all. LOL!
My boys have started asking, "Is such-and-such a healthy food?" so I want to foster their desire to learn about food and cooking! Thanks for a fun giveaway 🙂
That's awesome Nicole! Giving your boys their own tools would definitely encourage them to spend more time in the kitchen. I love to hear that you are encouraging them to cook with you. You are awesome!
Does it have to be for kids? LOL It looks like something I'd enjoy!
Just for kids………..oh my goodness I use the tools all of the time. They are designed to encourage kids to cook, but they are real kitchen tools. They were well no matter was our age is Cassandra.
I want the melon baller! My kids would love this!
The melon baller works great Mary. We use it to take the tops off of our strawberries too.
This looks awesome!! Thanks for the chance to win!
The Curious Chef tools are a wonderful quality tool and lots of fun Meeghan. Good luck!
Looks like a lot of fun for the kids.
My kids are having a great time with the tools Ashley. I hope you get to check them out as well.
My kids are in the kitchen with me everyday. They have learned to use Mommy's tools and while they would LOVE these adorable tools of their own, we may pass on to a friend who is intimidated to cook with her children–love to inspire all kids to get their hands on their foods and eat healthy 🙂
Love it Kristen! You are my hero. Not only was I excited to have these tools for my kids to use, but I think these kits make such wonderful gifts as well. They are going to be on the top of my gift-giving idea list.
