One of my New Year's Resolutions is to make a meal plan every week and cook more consistently for my family! I thought one way I could be motivated to do that was by dedicating a blog post every week towards that goal.

Each week I am going to aim to share with you a kid in the kitchen tip and/or a kid friendly recipe. My first tip for getting a toddler involved in the kitchen is by collecting toddler safe kitchen tools. Below is a list of kitchen tools that I have purchased for my toddler. Please note, I still have several kid friendly kitchen items on my wish list. 🙂 Most of these tools were found at the Goodwill, on the Facebook group called - Montessori Materials for Sale, Target, Amazon, IKEA, and more stores.
