Have you heard of kitchen kids with Leapfrog? Last month, I reviewed Leapfrog’s new preschool toy, the Number Lovin’ Oven. On the back of this new product, LeapFrog have teamed up with family favourite kids food guru, Annabel Karmel, to launch its Kitchen Kids campaign.

Kitchen Kids With Leapfrog
The Kitchen Kids campaign involves parents being challenged to bring cooking role play to life for pre-schoolers. It’s all about encouraging kids to get involved in the kitchen from an early age. Sydney already loves to help with all of the food preparation in our house. Whether it’s pouring her own milk onto her cereal or stirring cake mix, she loves to muck in. LeapFrog will be sharing kid-friendly recipes and asking parents to share their own favourite recipes and creations through Facebook and Twitter.
To help get parents started, LeapFrog and Annabel Karmel have also created the LeapFrog Kitchen Kids Guide. Which features valuable tips on how to deal with fussy eaters and advice from LeapFrog’s in-house learning team. Find out how to fuel more role play opportunities at home, and the developmental benefits of this kind of activity.

Annabel Karmel, who has recently launched her all new Family Cooking App, said: “Kids love to play chef, and you’ll be amazed how early on they can start helping in the kitchen. Some of my happiest times with my three children growing up involved cooking and baking. Spending time together in the kitchen provided a great opportunity to teach them all kinds of invaluable skills – as well as the importance of eating well.”
Emily Brown, Senior Brand Manager at LeapFrog, comments… “Role play is such an exciting and important part of a child’s development, and often underrated. It is so much more than just playing for play’s sake. They are fuelling creativity, empathy and understanding of the world around them.
Toys like Number Loving Oven encourage a child to make his or her own discoveries. While at the same time, help to hone skills that come from pretend play. Such as vocabulary building, social interaction and storytelling. We’re really excited to celebrate the launch of the Number Loving Oven with Annabel. We hope our guide will inspire and support parents to discover new ways of learning learning and discoveries!”
