Handstand Kids Cookbooks: Travel the World from Your Kitchen

If your kids love to help you cook and long to travel, the Handstand Kids cookbook series is made for them. Three wonderful cookbooks — Italian, Chinese and Mexican ($28 each) — will inspire you and your children to try new foods and experiment with international flavors while teaching interesting facts about the countries that inspire them.

Though each book comes with a little something extra (the Chinese cookbook comes with chopsticks, for example), Handstand Kids also sells fun accessories, including fabulous multi-purpose mats ($8) that can be used as everything from cutting boards to place mats, plus hats and aprons to give your little Jamie Olivers a true feeling of kitchen authenticity.
