Kids in the Kitchen

Creating Memories Together

You can share a lot of laughter and secrets while cooking and baking with someone special. Do you remember spending the weekend at Grandma’s baking sugar cut-out cookies? She’d let you wear her apron and use her special rolling pin, and it’s likely you proudly shared your edible creations even if they were burned or dropped on the floor. Little mattered but the sense of accomplishment you felt from your hard work and diligence. You created something that you were proud of and you could share! 

Fond memories, aren’t they? Now you can create more memories with a new generation. Our Circus Animal Cookie Cutters encourage creativity, excitement, and fun. They’re designed for even the littlest of fingers to use. Creating memories with your grandchildren and your children is something they, and you, will always remember and treasure.

Safety for Kids in the Kitchen

Kitchen Helper step-up stools let your young cooking assistant stand safely and securely, and reach for tools and ingredients without the fear of falling. You’ll be free to move around the kitchen and concentrate on what you need to do, as you relax and enjoy the time you’re investing in your helper. These helpful stools come in a variety of finishes, designs and sizes—so finding the one perfect for your little baker is easy!

Games & Cookbooks for Kids

Teaching someone about proper nutrition doesn’t have to be boring. Food Tray Puzzles teach little ones about healthier food choices. They come with a choice of an American breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as Japanese or Mexican dinner. Your little one will develop their fine motor skills, learn shapes, and use their imagination. Maybe a shopping trip is in order too! Wooden Grocery Products make it fun for your kids to go grocery shopping. They’ll love to make a list, and then go shopping with these toys. The American or International set each has twelve items. All the grocery items have rounded corners, and are vibrant in color, designed for many enjoyable hours of playtime.

Cookbooks allow us to explore and create. The books shown above teach how to follow cooking instructions, and the importance of each ingredient and step. We have several Sue Gregg cookbooks that are easy to understand and follow. Her books are perfect not only for children in the kitchen but for those who’ve cooked for years and are eager to expand their knowledge. Sue encourages the use of whole grains, and puts together menus that include all the basic food groups.

Roots, Shoots, Buckets, and Boots is a unique book full of themed garden ideas. Children will be amazed to watch a patch of dirt turn into a delightful garden with plants full of food to eat. It will teach them to care for the plants, the work involved, and teach them about taking care of the earth. We expect they’ll ask questions and love spending time with you as they learn new skills, have lots of fun and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.

At Pleasant Hill Grain we realize the importance of family, and we know time is precious—we want to make the most of the time we have with our loved ones. We encourage you to take a look at some of the products we have to make cooking and baking with children a more rewarding experience for everyone involved!
