Safer than food processor, cleaner than an electric mixer, easier than a regular blender, this immersion blender is the ideal tool for kids who want to make everything from brownies to frothy milk steamers.

3. Chef'n SwitchIt Dual Edge Small Spatula

This small spatula is one of those go-to kitchen tools for kids: You can use it for everything from stirring batters to spreading peanut butter. It's small enough to fit nicely into kids' hands and just the right size for a variety of pots, pans and bowls. Even better: It is made of heat-resistant silicone, so you can just leave it right in the pot while you're cooking without having to worry about it melting or getting too hot to touch.
