Busy Little Hands: Food Play!: Activities for Preschoolers

This book was purchased after following the author on social media and making several of her other recipes from Yummy Toddler Food. The book has heavy duty pages that are perfect for little kid hands (less chance of rips and easy to wipe off food stains). The recipes are full of ingredients you already have in your pantry. Each recipe has about 3 simple steps to follow, so kids can easily make them and be successful. Parent help can be required, but the whole point is to get your kid comfortable in the kitchen with you. We gave this book to our kids for Easter and we've already completed 4 recipes because they were so excited to try them. Highly recommend for anyone with kids who want to help make their own food!

I ordered it for my son who has extreme feeding difficulties. He is 100% G-tube dependent for nutrition. However, he is extremely excited and interested in making recipes out of this book. They are super simple, delicious and healthy. We have been making one meal a day ever since I ordered the book. He loves it! I have told all my friends, his therapists and neighbors out this book. I ordered more so I can give them as gifts. Love this book! Please write more books like this!

Full of fun pictures, strong pages that can be wiped down and the directions make this book a stand out for me. I found the author on Instagram and she has helped me find joy and creativity in cooking. I’m not a cook, but want to cook for my family. I like how she explains recipes and how to realistically include kids. This book is a must buy, it’s so cute, it gets left out in the counter and my 8yr loves to cook from it. The recipes are so fun!

Loved it

I bought this book hoping to incite some interest in different foods in my very picky 7yo. We are loving it! She has so much fun recreating the recipes, and I am always elated to see her actually eat what she makes! All the details in this book have been carefully thought out. I love that the pages are sturdy and can be wiped out after the sticky hands of our aspiring chefs have touched them. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone looking to have some food-related fun with their small children!

Great easy cook book for young children to engage with. Everything is simple, young kid friendly, and easy to prepare as the adult.

I love following Amy on Instagram and have gotten a lot of inspiration from her so was really excited to get this book. I was incredibly disappointed at the content. They’re not really recipes as such and definitely nothing new to me or my kids. They like looking at the book though and I do like that it’s wipe clean which is why I have it 3 stars. For recipes it’s terrible, but it’s ok for engagement

Wow, what a hit this cookbook is. The most visually appealing cookbook I’ve encountered -really a delight. I appreciate the think-almost board book pages for withstanding toddlers. My 20-mo. insists on keeping the book in the playroom so he can flip through the pages like he does with the rest of his books. My favorite feature is the creative incorporation of fresh fruits/veggies into each recipe. My son is hard pressed to eat veggies on a plate at this stage, but the “Hidden Smoothie” recipe and others give me confidence that he’s getting healthy nutrients while also making/drinking something fun. Bravo!

I bought this cookbook for my kids for Christmas along with a set of knives. The book is the perfect size for kids to read and the glossy photos make it easy for the kids to handle and keep clean. A lot of recipes look yummy and are kid-friendly we can't wait to start cooking them.

Great ideas for kids to choose and follow recipes. Perfect activity to increase kids’ comfort with new food!

This book is wonderfully illustrated and the recipes are so fun. My 4 year old and 2 year old absolutely love participating and the wipe away pages are a great bonus! I bought a second book as a Christmas gift for my 3 year old niece and have no doubt she will also enjoy it.

Cute cookbook for preschoolers with lots of colourful photos

My 2-year-old is still on the young side for this, but he will grow into it. The quality of the book and variety of recipes seems great!
