Enamel Mixing Bowl in a child's hands
An enamel mixing bowl of 36 cm across, the largest vessel in the enamel range and the one that turns food preparation into work a group can do. A bowl this size is not carried single handed by a four year old, which is the point: it stays on the table, several children stand around it, and the flour, the water and the mess have somewhere to belong. Enamel means it can be scoured afterwards without dulling. Enamel on steel, for ages 0 to 6.
Practical Life Skills
Develops coordination and concentration through authentic food preparation activities like mixing, stirring, and transferring ingredients.
Sensorial Refinement
The smooth enamel surface and substantial weight provide tactile feedback that helps children understand volume, weight, and material properties.
Independence & Care
Using real kitchen materials builds confidence in self-care activities and teaches children to handle fragile items with appropriate care.
How to present it
Place the enamel bowl on a tray with a small pitcher of water and a whisk. Set on a low shelf at child's eye level. Include a sponge for spills.
- 1Demonstrate carrying the bowl with both hands, thumbs on rim
- 2Pour water from pitcher into bowl, stopping at halfway
