Recipe Cards
From the desk of the product designer:
Behind the design
“I was inspired by my own kids’ love of play food and by our adorable crew of toddler product testers. Watching them play helped us make sure everything was both fun and fraction-friendly. For example, we changed the number of butter pieces from three to four so they could be used to show "half" and "whole.” ”
By the numbers
Kid testers: 7
Bowls prototyped: 10

The 5 year old loved it. Recipes included a plus
Incredibly cute and well made. My only complaint is that I didn't have glue that would facilitate gluing the cut outs to the box for the oven - our glue stick didn't work. My kid also threw away the recipe cards in an attempt to help clean up and the post-dinner trash didn't really facilitate fishing them back out. Laminated type cards would be great for ensuring those cards stand the test of time for this activity.
Loved the little cake and candles, and my daughter loved pulling apart the butter and eggs! She loves adding everything to the bowl.
