A number of years ago at a reading for her informative book, What to Eat, esteemed nutrition expert Marion Nestle told a rapt audience that the best way she knows to get kids to eat is to teach them to cook.
I couldn’t agree more. I also know that having some cool cooking gear is a pretty sure fire way to engage kids in the kitchen. And I can’t think of a better place to start than with those pesky packed lunches. So, I’m excited to announce today’s giveaway, designed to up the enthusiasm for cooking.
Here’s the low-down: I’m giving away two “Make Packing Lunch Fun” sets which will include a generous line-up of awesome gear from Pottery Barn Kids starting with the Playful Chefs Cooking Set featured in the photo: a sturdy apron, measuring cups, spoons, whisk, rolling pin, and other kitchen tools for smaller cooks. The giveaway will also include the following:
Love Notes
Lunch Punch Cutters
Utensils
and Colorful Cold Packs
