From the desk of the product designer:

Behind the design

We wanted to find an easy way for kids to check the water temperature. Finally, we got inspiration from parents on the team, who remembered using this type of flexible temperature strip as a gentle way to check their babies for fevers without inducing (more) crying.

    My Grandson got this, he loved the bread but the butter he didn't do because you need to shake for 20 minutes, that was too long for a child

    My 9 year old granddaughter really enjoyed this box. The directions were clear and straightforward, the finished loaf was delicious, if not quite as perfect as the picture. Cooking is an important life skill and one children can enjoy, if presented correctly.
