I don't have any kids of my own, and my brand new niece is a little too young to be joining me in the kitchen when I'm making lunch, but when there are kids around who are old enough to hang out in the kitchen, I'd love to get them this six-piece of set of cookware from Ikea made especially for them. I don't know how functional they truly are, since Ikea's website says that they must be handwashed and are not oven-safe, but at the very least, they're better than the candy colored plastic ones that really do look like toys, and you'll save your own pots and pans from getting dented, dropped, and all around banged up.

The set is available from Ikea for $9.99

Cute, but I might go the extra mile and pick up something from a flea market or thrift store. Chances are the pots will end up being used for Mud Soup anyhow.

I agree with the first comment. Kids have to much expensive stuff as it is and are still bored. They will loose interest in no time! What happened to using moms cookeware???

I have them, and I use them. They are wonderful for solo eaters of smaller portions, and make wonderful individual casserole dishes for my toaster oven. They also make attractive bento containers for lunch kits and dips stay warm in the pots. I've even served a poached egg in the mini fry pan to a guest who thought it was charming. No need to say it was kiddie ware. I have both the bake set and the cookware set from IKEA and find them very useful.

Incidentally -- these are sturdy stainless pots and pans. Oven schmoven. I use it in my toaster oven all the time and I'm not suffering any ill effects.
