A great rainy day activity. Loved we could choose our own ingredients (important as a multiple food allergy house). The whisk was a bit small, but we have whisks.

This kit is fantastic! My daughter (six) was super excited for the science and the cooking. She is learning to read and was able to read most of the directions herself which made it all the more exciting. Perfect mix of fun and educational (and tasty!).

It’s fun and exciting for a 4 years old kid but the rolling part to make it work seems to be too much for this age. My kid kept saying his arms were tired.
