Am I blonde or did they discontinue all of the kids stuff? I am having a kid show this week and can't seem to find any of the stuff i told the host about!?!?!?!!

AAACKKKK :confused: :confused:
 
They discontinued it on Feb 28th... you could still do a recipe out of the kid's cookbook.
 
Yes, the Kid's Apron & Chef Hat and the Kid's Cookie Making Set were both discontinued. The creative cutters are still available, though, and you can do a lot of kid stuff with those.
 
Plus the safety knife is still available, they just put it in a different place in the catalog
 
I am planning a kids show next month and I have used the bakers roller, the egg slicer (for banana's and strawberries), the chopper (with the base attached and with supervision- to chop up candy), the spatula, the cutting board, the accent decorator,just got the decorator bottles, the cut n seal- I am going to use to cut individual brownies (baked on the stonewear) and have each child decorate their own creation. You could use the crinkle cutter to make the individual brownies too. The cheese grater is great (or grate- sorry- couldnt help that one:) for grinding up chocolate chips to decorate with. Sorry- I am rambling but I am pretty excited about my kids show- and I am only on month 3 so I dont have lots of product to show for kids so I have had to get creative. I did find an awesome "Kids in the kitchen" booklet on this site that I will be giving to the Mom's & Dad's. It's pretty impressive.
Good luck!
 
We still have the Let's Eat kids cookbook, too!
 
You could also use some of the great Prep Bowl recipes.

Tonight my 5yo helped me make chicken pot pies in the prep bowls. They were really cool! :) I think those prep bowls are just the greatest, esp for her. She also makes the eggs in there, with cheese and chopped up meat, and we've done the brownies in there. OMG are those good!
 
I want to do a Cooking with kids show next month. These are some great ideas!
 
You can promote the cut'n seal, the safe cutter knife, and kid's cookbook. To tell you the truth....I never noticed that they were gone. I never sold any so I didn't notice. I did get a set for my girls but no one ever ordered them. I think they're (were) cute!
