My brother is a Chef and so, I was thinking of getting my niece the chef hat & apron set along with the cookie making set. What do you guys think? She is 3.
 
Awesome Idea!
 
my three year old son LOVES that stuff. When they first came out with it, I had to hide it from him, just so I could take it to shows
 
Great kids productsThe Let's Eat Cookbook is also a great gift, along with these items my kids love:
Citrus peeler
bamboo tongs (toaster)
Safe cutter
Creative cutters set
Cut n seal

Debbie :D
 
My kids love the kids apron & hat set. It's very cute.

And the bamboo tongs... those are fun! I think they're kind of silly just for the toaster, but my kids use them as chopsticks. My 2 1/2 year old is using them to eat popcorn right now! :)
 
I'm giving my 3 year old the apron & hat:D She's gonna love it! My older daughter has the child denim one we used to have & my younger girl feels left out when she wears it!
 
My almost 3 year old played with gingerbread dough and a cookie cutter for almost 2 hours the other night. By the time we baked her "cookies" they came out rock hard because the dough had been so "worked". I am sure that any three year old would LOVE that gift!

Awesome. Maybe I should get one for my 4 yr old son, too???
 
Can anyone tell me how big the hat adjusts? I had been thinking about these for my boys, but not sure about my oldest.
 
I'm getting my 3 yo son the apron and hat for Christmas. He loves to bake with me.

He loves the creative cutters and bakers roller when doing play doh.

He loves sandwiches with the cut & seal.

The hat will fit my head, so unless your son's head is ginormous, it'll probably fit. :)
 
Five of my grands have the apron and chef hat. They range in age from 3 - 7,
and I gave them as Xmas gifts last year. I'm trying to think of something else that is PC for them this year, that their Moms don't already have.
