Kids' kitchen kit, 17 pieces: cooking in complete safety
We know how frustrating it is to push your child away from the worktop as soon as a knife comes out of the drawer. This 17-piece set was designed for exactly that: letting them truly take part, with no sharp blade in their hands.

Product details
In everyday use, this set changes everything. Whether your child slices a banana for their snack or presses the bear cutter onto their sandwich, they work with utensils sized for their hands: three serrated knives of 27, 24.5 and 22 cm, a wooden chopping knife held with the whole palm, and a 29 x 19 cm board with a handle. No more "move away, it's dangerous": make way for a real role in the family kitchen.
Age and compatibility
This set is for children able to hold a handle with both hands and follow a simple instruction. The manufacturer sets no age: it states use under adult supervision. The useful benchmark is therefore the child's autonomy, not their date of birth.
The three serrated knives and the wooden chopping knife cut well: bananas, strawberries, cucumber, cooked courgette, ripe tomato, mushrooms, mozzarella, sandwich bread, sandwiches and raw biscuit dough.
They do not cut meat, nor hard and fibrous raw foods (carrot, potato, squash), nor thick crusts. This set does not replace the adult's knife, and it is not a play set: the utensils are functional, not pretend toys.
Three items in the set remain sharp, however, and call for the adult's hand or close supervision: the crinkle vegetable cutter with its metal blade, the Y peeler, and the 4 metal-edged cutters. The scissors, meanwhile, are child safety scissors with soft rings and a lock.
Uses: preparing family meals, baking and smoothing cream, decorating biscuits and sandwiches, cooking workshops, Montessori-style hands-on learning.

Usage tip
The team's tip: start with a banana and the green 27 cm knife. The serration saws effortlessly and reassures from the very first try.
Overview
Everything rests on the serration: it bites into the fibre of a soft food with a sawing motion, where a smooth edge demands force and slips. The wooden knife, meanwhile, is held with the whole palm and cuts by pressing down, without ever exposing the fingers. Two safe gestures for a hand just starting out.
Highlights
- A complete set, nothing to buy later: 17 pieces cover the whole chain: cutting, peeling, whisking, scraping, cutting out shapes. Your child has their own equipment and no longer digs into the adults' drawer.
- Three knife sizes to progress: 27, 24.5 and 22 cm, with different-coloured handles: start with the format suited to the child's hand, then adjust as they gain confidence.
- From cutting to baking: Whisk, scrapers and cutters open up the workshop for biscuits, smoothed cream and bear-shaped sandwiches — the moment when the child sees the result of their work on the plate.
- Fine motor skills and self-confidence: Guiding a blade, peeling, measuring a gesture: eye-hand coordination practised on a real task useful to the family, not on a pretend game.
- Built to last: Metal cutters and a solid wood knife get through season after season of snacks. A hand wash after use is enough to keep the set working year after year.
Who is it for?
Parents who want to stop saying "no". Your child hovers around the worktop, wants to help, and you spend your time keeping them away from the knife. This set finally gives them a real place in meal preparation, with equipment sized for them and a board that becomes their workstation.
Families and educators committed to learning by doing. Schools, cooking workshops, the Montessori approach: cooking remains one of the rare everyday gestures where the child produces something concrete that the whole table then eats. The set provides the tools that make this participation possible without watching every second.

Frequently asked questions
From what age is this kids' kitchen kit suitable?
The manufacturer sets no precise age and states use under adult supervision. The useful benchmark is not age but the child's ability to hold a handle firmly and follow an instruction. Start beside them on soft foods with the 22 cm knife, then broaden as they gain confidence.
Do the safety knives really cut food?
Yes. The three knives of 27, 24.5 and 22 cm have serrated blades that genuinely cut soft foods: bananas, strawberries, cucumber, ripe tomato, mushrooms, mozzarella, sandwich bread or biscuit dough. They are not toy knives, but they are designed neither for meat nor for hard foods like raw carrot.
Are all the pieces in the set harmless?
The three serrated knives, the wooden knife and the locking safety scissors are designed for the child. Three accessories remain sharp, however, and call for the adult's hand: the crinkle cutter with its metal blade, the Y peeler and the 4 metal-edged cutters. The whole set is used under supervision in all cases.
What exactly does the 17-piece kit contain?
The set brings together 1 cutting board of 29 x 19 cm, 3 safety knives (27, 24.5 and 22 cm), 1 wooden chopping knife of 10.2 x 9.2 cm, 1 bear-head sandwich cutter, 4 vegetable cutters, 3 dough scrapers, 1 whisk of 18.5 cm, 1 crinkle cutter, 1 peeler and 1 pair of safety scissors.
What is the bear-head cutter for?
It is placed on two filled slices of sandwich bread, then pressed: it cuts the outline, removes the crust and seals the edges in a single motion. You get a closed bear-shaped sandwich that can then be decorated. It is often the accessory that sparks the desire to cook in the youngest.
Is the kit dishwasher-safe?
Hand washing is recommended for the whole set. Hot cycles tire the food-grade plastic, make the wooden knife swell and grey, and encourage marks on the metal pieces. A wash in warm soapy water followed by immediate drying markedly extends the utensils' lifespan.
Is this set suitable for a Montessori approach?
It lends itself well to it, because it rests on the same principle: entrusting the child with a functional tool adapted to their size to accomplish a real task of daily life. Preparing a fruit salad or cutting out biscuits that the family will then eat gives the activity a tangible result, which is precisely the driving force of this pedagogy.
