Check out the article below to see what the TMN moms are buying for their kiddos this holiday season.
No little ones in your life? No worries, check out this wishlist for the health nut and the cook in your life
Foldable Scooter
Our dietitians understand the importance of getting in our daily steps and sometimes the kids need to join us. We love it when they tag along on their bike and scooter- a true win in our book for getting everyone active and outside! This scooter is in our Amazon cart because it is lightweight and compact, being able to fold up to fit easily in the car.
Children’s Knife Set
Research tells us when kids help prepare food, they are more likely to eat it. This is why we love bringing our kids in the kitchen with us to help prepare meals. This knife set allows little ones to safely participate in food preparation.
Ninja Warrior Ropes Course
The weather is a bit chilly now, but come spring we love to send our kids outdoors to move their bodies. This Ninja Warrior Ropes Course can be attached to two trees and assembled pretty easily. The design allows you to thread the accessories in whatever order you prefer with the option to eliminate ones you may want to save for later. You can easily take down the course if you want to reorder or add-on accessories to change things up and keep kiddos engaged.
Junior Baking Set
A Netflix spin-off of Great British Baking Show, Junior Baking Show has been quite popular amongst the younger crowd. This show allows kids to get in the kitchen to compete in baking popular items like breads, pastries and cakes. If your kiddo is as obsessed with this show as ours is, they’ll love this baking set from Baketivity. The set includes dishwasher safe baking tools that are the perfect size for small hands. It even comes with a few recipe cards for inspiration!
The Complete Cookbook for Kids
Most of us at TMN and many of our clients plan out our meals to ensure a smooth week full of nourishing foods. We encourage our kids to participate to allow them to have some control over food and food choices. Doing so increases their chances of trying new things and expanding their palette. This cookbook is great to let your littles sift through and find a meal they would like to try out.
Little Passports Kitchen Adventure Subscription
Who doesn't love a good subscription box? We are obsessed with this Kitchen Adventure box from Little Passports. This box allows kids to get in the kitchen, while also exposing them to food from around the world. With a box from a different country each month, kids will receive recipes, activities and games teaching them about that country's food history, traditions and culture.
