Are you looking for gift ideas for the foodie kid in your life? This holiday gift guide is EXACTLY what youre looking for. Ive found 55 kitchen and cooking gifts that will have your kids fighting to cook dinner (now, wouldnt that be nice).
You either have a foodie kid, or you dont. Out of our four kids, we have 1 and 1/2 who are interested in being in the kitchen. My youngest daughter, however, was born to cook. The 1/2er son** of mine is very particular. He only likes making smoothies, frozen Popsicles and anything with egg.
** While Im writing this, I just heard him tell his sister hes going to make a smoothie. Boys are super predictable:)
