My 5 year grandson and I cook a lot together, just like his dad and I did. I have several cookbooks that inspire me. most are all southern cooking. I use my grandmother’s recipe for banana pudding though.
Thank you for this! Seriously! I was thinking about getting my daughter a cookbook (she loves her Disney Princess one) for Christmas!
These cookbooks are very cute and it looks like some of them give great additional tips that can teach children about being safe in the kitchen. Thanks for sharing!
My son LOVES to help me bake and add sprinkles to cupcakes ;) I will have to find C is for Cookie!
So sweet I love these cookbooks.
How fun and adorable! I have never seen these before! Maybe it’ll get me and my mini cooking some more!!! LifeAsLex
Yummy recipes!!
I love cookbooks for kids! My sons gets them from the book fair every year and he plows right through them!
omg, why didnt i ever think to look into a cookbook for my daughter?! we’ve been doing cooking shows almost every weekend and she looooooves playing chef and restaurant.
these are such great suggestions. My daughter has always been drawn to children’s cookbooks – she loves them
I have an older one that is really getting into baking. I used to cook with the Williams-Sonoma cook books (my mom used to work there) and those were good. I don’t know what we’ll try now (he’s 13). Let me know if you find any good ones for older kids. Would love the recommendations!
I have several boys who LOVE cookbooks. One of my teens even dreams of becoming a chef. Thanks to an early start with books like those, he is well on his way now.
Oh! Thanks for sharing these. My littlest loves to cook and these would be great gifts for him.
These are so awesome! I can’t wait until Caleb is old enough to help me cook!
Those jello ice pops would be perfect for our Arizona summers!
These are so cute and a fun way to get kids motivated to help in the kitchen!
Yummy! I bet my daughter would love them, thanks :D
We have a couple of these! They are so much fun!
My husband is a chef and he loves to get our son in the kitchen with him. I’ll have to look into getting them some of these cookbooks!
I love, love, love Children’s cookbooks! We have a couple, but none of the ones you linked. I am now curious to check them out!
these are all awesome selections – my girls love kid’s cookbooks
Oh, bother! I might need that Winnie the Pooh cookbook for my collection (even though I don’t have kids). Let’s just ignore the fact that my cookbook collection already doesn’t fit on a single bookcase by a long shot, lol.
These are so fun! I will have to get one for my son. He loves helping me in the kichen right now. It’s pretty precious.
I LOVE cooking with my kids – of course it takes a great amount of self-control on my part not to interject. I tend to want things to go smoothly, and with as little mess as possible. But, kids and cooking = mess, so I am trying to embrace it. I haven’t ever thought of getting a kids cookbook – these all look like great suggestions!
I still have one of my cookbooks that was given to me at the age of 9 and some of the recipes are still relevant today!
I can already tell that my daughter is really into cooking and she’s not even 2 yet! I can’t wait until she can really cook with me!
These are great, I didn’t even know there were cookbooks for kids. My boys would like the Winnie the Pooh and Sesame Street ones.
