Easter Gift Ideas – Kids' Baking Sets & Supplies
Kids' Bakeware, Cookie Decorating Supplies, Baking Mixes
Mar 9, 2009
Creative parents can look for Easter basket gifts geared toward kids' interests. For example, give children who like to bake kids' baking supplies including cooking utensils, kid-sized nonstick and silicone bakeware, cookie and cupcake decorating supplies, and baking ingredients to help them bake Easter and spring-themed treats.
Kids' Baking Utensils and Kids' Baking Sets
What does a child chef need to begin baking? Gift suggestions for a child chef include specific items from kids' baking sets that are kid-sized, of good quality, and safe for use in a real kitchen. Also, check out stores like Sur La Table and Williams-Sonoma for unique child chef's hats and personalized kids' aprons.
In general, parents can give beginning young chefs an introductory set of baking utensils such as a silicone spatula, a wooden mixing spoon, sets of measuring cups and measuring spoons, a metal whisk, and a wooden or silicone rolling pin. Add a few pieces of well-chosen kids' bakeware – such as a small cookie sheet, a mini loaf pan, and a mini cupcake pan – and children are ready to start baking!
Easter Cookie Cutters and Cookie Decorating Supplies
Many spring-themed cookie cutters are available, such as Fox Run cookie cutters and Wilton cookie cutters shaped like flowers, rabbits, lambs, butterflies, chicks, carrots, and eggs. Look for sets of tin cookie cutters or individual large copper cookie cutters in spring shapes like insects, farm animals, or even tea party items! Nordic Ware also makes a plastic Easter/Spring Cookie Cutter Plaque with four designs on each side.
For cookie decorating, kids can use:
- Wilton products such as Easter-themed cupcake sprinkles and cookie sprinkles shaped like bunny heads, bunnies, chicks, or Easter eggs
- spring mix jimmies
- spring-themed sugar shapes
- pastel nonpareils and colored sugar crystals
- icing and gel food coloring in pastel spring colors
- edible food writing pens
- an Easter-themed stencil set
Another unique Easter basket stuffer would be a cookie pan for making cookie lollipops on sticks. For example, G&S Design Lollipop Cookie Pans and Wilton Cookie Treat Pans can be used to make lollipop cookie bunny heads, butterflies, easter eggs, and flowers.
Easter Cupcake Decorating
Products for decorating cookies will also work to decorate cupcakes (and cakes, for that matter). In addition, parents might fill children's Easter gift baskets with:
- paper cupcake wrappers with spring-themed designs like flowers or picket fences
- pastel-colored silicon baking cups
- Easter-themed cupcake toppers
Baking Ingredients for Easter Treats
For an extra Easter basket treat, parents can include a recipe card plus all the baking ingredients needed to make the recipe. Other ideas for unique Easter basket stuffers that are baking ingredients include:
- a kid-friendly prepared cookie mix or cupcake mix, such as Sassafras Cookie Making Kits (with themes like fairy princess and wizard)
- prepared kid-friendly baking mixes to make carrot cake or another spring-themed treat
Unique Easter Baskets for Kids Interested in Baking
Creative parents can arrange baking-themed Easter basket gifts in:
- a pastel batter bowl
- a spring-themed mixing bowl
- a huge baking pan, like the 3-D Wilton Easter Egg Pan Baking Set or the Wilton Giant Cupcake Pan
Kids interested in baking can use baking presents to spend quality time together with their parents in the kitchen all year round. Instead of finishing off children's Easter baskets with regular Easter candy, parents might include a Sassafras marshmallow-making kit or fudge-making kit, or small sacks of melting chocolate wafers in spring colors (along with a silicone mini flower mold) for fun spring candy-making.
