I received a free copy of this product in exchange for my honest review. All opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with FTC Regulations.
Good food is infused with a special kind of magic. A spoonful of soup sparks nostalgia of holidays past. An endearing conversation starts with a simple slice of pound cake and a cup of coffee. The promise of a mouth-watering plate of barbecue brings family and friends together for genuine fellowship and a much-needed pause from the busyness of life.
What is Kidstir?
There is as much magic in the kitchen as in the good food that is produced, which is why cooking has become an integral part of our homeschool lifestyle. Imagine my excitement when I discovered Kidstir Subscription Boxes!
Kidstir sends out monthly, themed cooking kits for kids. Each Kidstir kit includes three tasty recipes, an easy-to-read grocery list, kitchen utensils, fun stickers, and Wordstir Family Game Cards, and interesting supplemental information that educates kids on how to use their kitchen gift, background cultural information on the included recipes, etc.

What I Love about Kidstir!
Well-designed and Educational
I immediately fell in love with how kid-friendly the recipes were designed. The pictures of the featured dishes were colorful and appetizing. The recipe directions and grocery lists were clear and concise for emerging readers.
Kidstir subscription boxes are more than just something fun to do in the kitchen; they are educational. I was truly impressed with the life skills highlighted with their recipes-how to shop for ingredients, identifying the serving size, identification, and practice of cooking techniques. These are all skills that my older daughters have to use when participating in 4-H Food Show and Food Challenge Competitions, so I was pleased to see the thought that went into the design of the recipes.
Affordable and Dietary Conscious
Kudos to Kidstir for having affordable subscription boxes and single-order cooking and baking kits! The flexibility to purchase a single kit to try is fantastic. Additionally, I love that parents can choose kits to fit their dietary needs. Parents have the option of vegan, vegetarian, nut-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free kits.
Our Kidstir Kit
Our Classic Kidstir Kit included three tasty recipes– Potato Latkes, Homemade Eggnog, and Tamale Pie. Our favorite recipe was the Potato Latkes. Take a peek at us whipping them up!
The Takeaway
Kidstir understands that the true magic that takes place in the kitchen or over a tasty plate of food is about bringing families and friends together. The best thing about our experience with the Festive Favorites Cooking Kit was the fun my daughter and I shared making good food and good memories!
