Kids in the Kitchen

The kitchen is not just a place where we prepare food. From a Montessori perspective, it is a living learning space where children learn through real, meaningful activities.

Food preparation fosters independence and self-confidence. When children see that their contribution is important to the family, they experience a real sense of meaning: "I can do it. I am contributing." Even simple tasks, such as washing an apple or sprinkling spices, strengthen responsibility and inner motivation.

KLYV – the safe first children’s knife

This children’s knife is designed to help little ones learn to cook safely in the kitchen. It’s perfect for little chefs aged 2 and up (we recommend starting practice under adult supervision from 18 months) and helps build self-confidence, coordination, and fine and gross motor skills through real cooking experiences.

The knife is made from high-quality materials and stands out for its safe design and aesthetic, minimalist style, inspired by Scandinavian simplicity. Its handle contains about 30% wheat fiber, reducing the amount of plastic. “KLYV” helps turn healthy cooking into a fun family activity that brings children, parents, and even grandparents closer together.

The special wedge-shaped blade design makes it easier for children to cut fruits and vegetables, encourages safe, controlled movements, and reduces the risk of accidents.

Usage:

Always use only under adult supervision. Place food on a stable surface (a cutting board is recommended). Encourage the child to hold the knife comfortably and firmly. When cutting fruit or vegetables, practice slow, controlled movements. Keep your fingers at a safe distance from the cutting area—this helps establish good habits that will, over time, build confidence and proper knife-handling skills. After use, wash the knife and store it out of the reach of small children.

Made from a high-quality polished stainless steel blade designed to last for years, with an attractive beech wood handle that is easy to hold.

The knife is suitable for both left- and right-handed people.

You can start introducing the tray quite early just by playing – arrange the children's dishes and model the process together. As the little one grows, move the process to the table – you can use the tray to set the table or protect it from various stains.

You can also draw on this tray (on both sides).

For coloring, we recommend choosing easily washable markers. Manufacturers often indicate "super washable", "ultra-clean wash", or similar on the packaging.

The tool is recommended to be used under adult supervision.

The glass and utensils shown in the photos are not sold with the tray.

A small jug is one of the main tools used in the kitchen, helping to develop pouring skills both when playing with water and when quenching thirst independently.

The transparent glass allows you to observe the changing volume as you pour water, making it easier to understand the process and learn how to control the pouring by stopping before reaching the rim of the container.

To ensure the safety of toddlers, an additional support is installed at the back to prevent children from falling out, and adults can use the tower independently by removing the additional support.

The tower is made of MDF board and is available in five colors.

This wooden children's broom is a real, child-sized tool for your little one to play with, imitate, and actually get involved in everyday household activities. It's lightweight, ergonomic, and fits perfectly in little hands, so kids can do simple cleaning tasks on their own, clean up after themselves, and develop responsibility and independence skills. 

The tool helps to develop:

• Practical life skills – children learn through real activities, not just playing.
• Motor development – sweeping movements strengthen both fine and gross motor skills.
• Developing attention and responsibility – the task requires concentration and care for the environment.
• Strengthening self-confidence – having their own tool, children feel able to contribute to family life.

A set of cards for learning about kitchen objects, developing observation skills, and practicing letters and reading. The set of 20 cards depicts 10 of the most common objects found in the kitchen, their shadows, first letters, and full names.

The objects are presented in realistic photographs, and their shadows perfectly match the original objects, making it easy for children to recognize and match the objects with their shadows. The first letters are presented side by side in upper and lower case so that children can immediately see and recognize both symbols of the same sound. Full words are written in lowercase, taking into account that most of the literature they read is written this way, so children can immediately learn the most common way of reading.

The cards are designed to remain relevant and interesting for a long time: starting with familiarizing themselves with objects and their names, then learning to recognize letters by matching pictures with the first letters, playing recognition games and matching pictures with shadows, and finally reading full names.

The cards are made of extra-thick cardboard and are very sturdy, making them difficult to bend and suitable even for the youngest children.

The card set comes in a canvas bag so that the pieces don't get lost and are easy to take with you on a trip.

The cards include: a spoon, a knife, a table, a glass, a pot, a frying pan, a jug, a dishcloth, a bowl, and a spatula.
