Equipment checklist
At Wooden Spoon Kids, we believe that great cooking starts with the right tools, not the most expensive ones. Investing in quality equipment helps children cook with confidence, work safely, and enjoy the process — and tools that feel good in their hands make all the difference.
That’s one reason I often recommend tools like the OXO Good Grips for tools that stand the test of time.
OXO tools are special because they were designed with real people in mind. In 1990, Sam Farber noticed his wife, Betsey, struggling with standard kitchen tools because of arthritis-so he set out to make better ones that were easier and more comfortable to use for everyone by adding ergonomic, non‑slip grips and thoughtful design features.
This design philosophy called universal design-means the handles are easier to hold, even with wet hands or little hands learning new skills, and tools feel comfortable over years of use.
Because of this extra attention to comfort and usability, quality tools like these usually last far longer than cheaper supermarket versions, making them great long‑term companions in your kitchen – and in your child’s cooking journey.
