Many kids love to cook and bake, and Christmas is the perfect time to shop for cooking and baking related items to give as gifts. From kids who just help with mixing, to those who can prepare a full meal on their own, finding Christmas gifts for kids who love to cook and bake is not only easy, but fun as well. If you have some kids on your Christmas list who love to cook and bake, consider the following gift ideas.
My daughter Sofie has been baking with me since she was two years old and I love having her by my side in the kitchen. She will also help me make easy dinners such as homemade pizza or her after school snacks. Not only does it give us a fun activity to do together, I think there is a lot of valuable lessons to learn in the kitchen. So if your children like to cook or bake check out some of these gift item and ideas below!

Put Together Your Own Cake-Making Kit
For kids who love to cook and bake, but who haven’t yet done much food preparation on their own, a cake-making kit makes a perfect Christmas gift. Simply prepare a gift bag or box filled with items such as: a boxed cake mix, a container of frosting, a cupcake pan, cupcake liners, a specialty or shaped cake pan, and any cake decorations you want, like sprinkles.
Indulge Their Inner Cookie Monster
A great beginning project for any kid who loves to cook and bake, is to bake cookies. To make a cookie-baking days extra fun, consider giving cookie cutters as a Christmas gift. There is virtually no end to the choices when it comes to cookie cutters. From Disney shapes, to holiday symbols, to individual letters, a kid who loves to cook and bake has endless options for their creativity with cookies.
Let Them Learn How To Decorate With Icing
One of the most enjoyable aspects of cake making is the decorating. Any kid who loves to cook and bake would likely be very happy to receive a selection of icing supplies as a Christmas gift. Include items such as disposable icing bags, a variety of frosting tips, Wilton frosting color gels, and a book or magazine with examples and instructions for specific icing projects.
Look For Specialty Items
Kids who love to cook and bake will be thrilled to receive specialty cooking items as Christmas gifts. Check online, or in your local supply shop, for specialty items like Mickey Mouse pancake molds or egg molds, special utensils, or items like the Magic Bullet.
Baking Subscription Box
A few months ago we had the chance to review the Baketivity Subscription Box for kids. Sofie enjoyed it and its a cute idea! I am sure there are a few different ones out there, too.
Don’t Forget Cooking Media
If you’re trying to find Christmas gifts for a kid who loves to cook and bake, consider instructional cooking media. For a kid who has a Nintendo DS game system, there are several cooking games to choose from, including America’s Test Kitchen and Happy Cooking. Sofie likes to create things on her cooking apps on her Ipad, too!
You can also scour your local bookstore for kid-friendly cookbooks. You can also find instructional DVD’s by well known TV cooking personalities like Alton Brown, Rachel Ray, Paula Deen and Guy Fieri.
With so many choices, the challenge of finding Christmas gifts for a kid who loves to cook and bake, won’t be in finding enough options, it will be in deciding which items to give!
