It’s time to start focusing on kids cooking and products geared toward kids.
As we roll into merchandising for spring and summer, and as parents try and
think up activities to keep kids busy over spring and summer breaks, feed
them the perfect solution – kids cooking!
Kids’ culinary choices are a focal point of the media today. With childhood
obesity in the United States at epidemic proportions, focus on products that
give kids the tools and knowledge necessary to make healthy eating choices.
From kids’ cooking classes to merchandising displays perfect for all ages and
skills, there is plenty to focus your inventory on when considering how to
tackle these little consumers. Here’s just a glimpse of some of the fun and
delicious ideas that are out there, plus ideas for parents whose kids may not
yet be ready for the kitchen!
Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter
by Peanut Butter & Co.
212-677-3995
www.ilovepeanutbutter.com
All natural peanut butter blended with rich
dark chocolate. It’s like a peanut butter
cup in a jar! Great on a sandwich, but just as
wonderful spooned over ice cream, spread
on fruits, or simply eaten out of the jar. It’s
equally delicious as an ingredient in your
all-time favorite baked goodies like chocolate
cake and bread pudding. It contains no cholesterol, no trans fats, no hydrogenated oils,
and no high-fructose corn syrup. It is also
gluten-free, certified vegan, and certified
kosher parve by the Orthodox Union.
MSRP: $6
Baby Chef Ultimate Baby Food Center
by Kids Line
212-929-5664

Busy parents want nutritious, convenient baby
food solutions. Jarred food is expensive and filled
with added sugar and preservatives; making fresh
baby food can be time-consuming. Baby Chef
Ultimate Baby Food Center is the essential kitchen
helper for parents: it blends, it chops, it warms,
steams and reheats. Steam and puree foods at
the same time in side-by-side jars. Baby’s food
is not only sugar- and preservative-free, but
also fresh, nutritious and inexpensive
to make. Also functions as a bottle-
warmer and occupies minimal
counter space. BPA-free.
