Have you ever wondered why your children are so helpful to you in the kitchen? Why they are observing at how you complete your masterpieces in your culinary arts? Why they volunteer to chop the onion for you, or peel the potatoes, or simply stir the pot of soup? They are trying to be you, becoming your copycat. They are your biggest culinary fans. Having known that, would you then trust them with knives and real fire in your kitchen? You don’t even need to answer that last question. What you need is a KidKraft Kitchen. It is the best next gift that you could give your kids.

First, KidKraft Kitchens are made safe. They are made of wood. Not of some dangerous synthetic plastic material that may cause harm to your children when ingested. It is sturdy and strong and they won’t break easily. There are no real sharp Knives that would hurt them. Their cooking plays are safe because they don’t use real fire. That will surely give you peace of mind.

Second, KidKraft Kitchens are educational. Their role playing cooking games will be fun and exciting for them as they let their culinary imaginations run wild but without the risk of messing up your real kitchen. They can invite their friends and show off their new kitchen toy and they would play all day long and have good clean fun. You can play along with them and teach them the right way to set up a table, the right way to handle a knife, the right way to prepare and serve food. And when you see that they can already handle themselves well, then you can actually ask them to participate in your actual kitchen activities. It will be their learning experience from play kitchen to real kitchen.

Third, KidKraft Kitchens look great. You may wonder why I mentioned that looking great is a benefit. Kids do not play forever. At days that your children have things to do other than play their kitchen set, this will stay beautiful as an ornament in the corner of your playroom or living room. It will not look like some simple scattered toy on the floor but a good display toy. In fact, your visiting friends will surely notice it when they see it in the room. It will remind them of their childhood days playing kitchen games as well. Remember, your kids grow so fast, faster than you expected them to be. They will outgrow this toy but with the durability of it and its great looks, they will not mind passing it down to their next generation. Its sentimental value will grow and it will turn out to be a family heirloom. Wouldn’t you be proud to be the one who got this for the family?

So the next time the occasion arises that you need to get the next toy set for your kids, remember to choose KidKraft Kitchen. It is safe for them, it will teach them and it will last their generation, and the next one and then the next. Who knows?

Have you ever wondered why your children are so helpful to you in the kitchen? Why they are observing at how you complete your masterpieces in your culinary arts? Why they volunteer to chop the onion for you, or peel the potatoes, or simply stir the pot of soup?

Just wondering, doesn’t seem like I’m doing anything wrong.
Oh and I live in Illinois by the way.

In Illinois it is illegal to throw a shuriken anywhere, much less in your front yard where an errant throw could kill someone. You’d be better off playing this game in your padded basement. Make sure all your pets are upstairs!

I’m looking for something that would work for food, not a pocket knife. I want something simple that works like the folding spork. Does anyone know of any?

I assume you’re referring to this: http://www.rei.com/product/751779?cm_mmc=cse_froogle-_-datafeed-_-product-_-751779&mr:trackingCode=E89EEE23-407C-DD11-873B-0019B9C043EB&mr:referralID=NA

No, you can’t have a knife that is bare and has a snap-on handle. The knife blade always has to be sheathed, either in a separate sheath or by folding. The closest thing to that folding spork is something like the CRKT KISS knife: http://www.crkt.com/kiss.html

I’ve read the California knife laws, and it does not directly reference butterfly knives. If butterfly knives are in fact illegal, what about a training knife? Are they legal? I just want to play with one around my house because they are fun.

Butterfly Knives are illegal in Calif., they are in the same classification as switchblades, stupid laws. Go ahead and play with it around the house, just don’t let anyone see it.

Kitchen islands are the latest kitchen trend that everyone wants to integrate into their homes. Most remodeling projects plan for the addition of a permanent island but if you are someone who is not remodeling or do not have a large kitchen space, you need to look into a mobile kitchen cart. These items are even more useful than a permanent island, however, because you do not only need to use it in the kitchen! It can be moved from room to room whether you need it for meal preparation or as a table on which to serve party foods and drinks.

When you are trying to decide on what kind of mobile kitchen island you would like, you need to know what your options actually are. There a few different options from butcher blocks to stainless steel kitchen islands. Here is a quick run down of your options so that you know what to look for when you are shopping for your new portable island.

A butcher block is generally a smaller island made entirely out of wood. Thick wood slabs are glued tightly together to create a close-grained surface that not only is perfect for meal preparation, it also looks like a nice kitchen addition. The wood is very gentle on your knives so your Knives stay sharp, making your meal preparations even faster! If you need an additional serving table during your holiday parties, simply throw a white tablecloth over the top and use it as an appetizer or dessert table.

Stainless steel kitchen islands are not only beautiful, they are also the perfect kitchen addition. You can purchase one on wheels or one that is stationary. The normal design for these islands is a dark wood base and a stainless steel top. Stainless steel is the perfect kitchen material because it is ideal for sterile environments. The surface is non-porous so it does not collect dirt and grime. It is incredibly easy to clean and, as long as you do not use ammonia or bleach, it will stay in great condition for several decades!

These options are just two of the most popular of many. If you need to learn more about kitchen islands, visit a kitchen retailer or start surfing the web!
