PARENT INSIGHT DAILY

When Screen-Time Guilt Hits Hard, These Kits Bring Your Family Back.

By Rachel Morrison | May 1st, 2026 | 7:20 pm EST

If you feel guilty every time your kid reaches for the iPad, you are not alone. Research shows 73% of parents experience measurable stress and guilt over screen time—and that emotional strain damages relationships more than the screens themselves.

One customer, a working mom of two in Seattle, says switching to these monthly STEM baking kits was the first thing that actually worked: "My kids choose this over their devices now. I did not think that was possible."

Screen-Free Fun Kids Actually Want (No Forcing Required)

The hardest part of reducing screen time is not taking devices away—it is finding something kids actually prefer doing instead. These kits make that possible.

Each monthly box delivers a themed baking adventure with pre-measured ingredients, step-by-step recipe cards, and hands-on STEM activities. Kids get excited because it feels like a gift, not homework.

Parents say their kids beg to do the next kit—without being asked. That is the engagement that makes screen time battles disappear.

They Do It Completely Independently (You Get 60 Minutes Back)

Most "educational activities" require constant supervision. Not these.

I'm The Chef Too! STEM Kits are designed for kids ages 4-14 to complete independently—reading instructions, measuring ingredients, following steps.

The result? 60 minutes of focused play where your child builds critical skills while you get guilt-free time to work, rest, or breathe. No supervision required.

Real STEM Learning Disguised as Dessert!

Rainbow Bagels teach light refraction. Constellation Crispies teach astronomy. Gemstone Gummies teach geology.

Your kids think they are making treats. You know they are mastering chemistry, physics, and earth science—concepts they will see in 3rd, 5th, and 7th grade.

I am The Chef Too does not feel like education because it is not forced. It is discovery-based learning that sticks. Teachers and tutors cannot buy that kind of engagement.

Eliminates the "I'm Bored" Spiral (Every Single Month)

Summer break. Rainy Saturdays. Snow days. These are parent nightmare scenarios because "I am bored" leads to screens, guilt, and fights.

With a monthly subscription, you always got a fresh activity ready. No last-minute scrambling. No emergency Target runs.

Kids start counting down to their next box—checking the mailbox daily, asking "Is it here yet?" The anticipation becomes part of the fun.

Pre-Measured Ingredients (Zero Shopping, Minimal Mess)

Every kit includes pre-portioned dry ingredients in sealed packets— flour, sugar, baking powder, mix-ins—plus a simple card listing 3-4 household basics (eggs, butter, water).

No grocery trips. No measuring confusion. No flour explosions.

Parents say cleanup takes under 10 minutes because everything is contained. One bowl, one pan, basic utensils. That is the difference between "maybe later" and "yes, let us do it now."

Builds Real Confidence (Not Participation Trophy Fake Pride)

Every kit delivers a complete achievement cycle: your child follows instructions alone, creates from scratch, shares with family, receives praise, feels earned pride.

This is not a ribbon for showing up. It is real competence through real effort. Kids finish each kit feeling capable, independent, and proud.

Many parents report their kids apply the same "I can figure this out" mindset to homework and chores. One reviewer said: "My 7-year-old says I am a scientist now. She kind of is."

Solves Picky Eating Without a Fight

This is not marketed as a picky eater solution, but parents keep discovering it works anyway. Research shows kids are 76% more likely to try new foods they helped prepare.

When your child makes Rainbow Bagels, they are invested. They want to taste what they created. The same kid who refuses vegetables will try things in their own baking.

It is exposure therapy disguised as fun—repeated, non-pressured interaction with new flavors in a safe space.

Perfect for Multiple Kids (Siblings Actually Cooperate)

Siblings fight over toys. They compete for screen time. But these kits force cooperation—one reads instructions, one measures, both decorate.

Each kit provides enough for 2-4 kids to participate without feeling left out. There is a role for everyone: head chef, sous chef, taste tester.

Parents say shared success creates bonding moments instead of jealousy. When treats come out? Everyone wins together.

Hassle-Free Returns & Flexible Plans (You're In Control)

We know trying a new subscription can feel uncertain—what if your kid does not connect with it?

That is why subscriptions are completely flexible. Need to pause? Skip a month? Adjust your plan? No stress. You are in control.

Not the right fit? Reach out and we will help. Our goal is happy kids and stress-free parents—not locking you into something that does not work.

Real Reviews from Real Parents

The dye was weird

The frosting was a bit weird, but everything else was perfect and my nephew devoured them

Omgosh! These were so good! I’m so impressed that my 9yo can make a mousse.

My granddaughter absolutely loved this!...my only complaint is that I had to contact company to send aprons...my order for her gift was for her birthday in May, Aprons finally arrived after I contacted company thais week...you need to do better with that.

We ordered these for our grandchildren. They loved them.

My grandchildren love these kits! They live across the country from me so I enjoy getting videos and pictures of the whole process. They are 11, 7, and 5. They have fun from start to finish!

My grand daughter loves the kits and we have alot of fun together making each kit when she visits.

My 4 1/2 year old absolutely LOVED making this! I had to help more than I wanted - just meaning I wanted him to do it all. Melting the chocolate and spreading it into the little red circles pan may be easier for an older child. Additionally, the “icing” circles of the avenger symbols didn’t turn into icing, they were like paper. Maybe we needed to add more water to “melt” them? The instructions say a drop. But overall it was a great box! Taste review - the brownies could’ve used chocolate chips or chunks, they weren’t very moist but when covered in the white chocolate they were good! Very enjoyable to do and will be buying more soon.

my grand kiddos loved this!!!!

My grandson and grandaugher love doing the kits together. I purchased the 3 month subscription to see if they like it. Now I am going to renew as they love it.

My child loves it my only downfall is that I like know know ahead of time what's in the box so I know what to get from the store. Unfortunately he has to wait till I go out but its such a great way to learn math at a young age.

My granddaughter received the teddy bear pies. She had absolutely the best time making them and with everything being pre-measured it made it so easy for her. She loved it and I can’t wait till the next one comes and neither can she love watching her do things on her own and opening up her creativity. Thank you.

Such a treat to receive a box for a baking activity to do with my niece and nephew. The box arrives with everything needed except fresh ingredients. The printed recipes with stories behind the item is a good teaching activity the kids really get into. I love the reusable molds. Rainy days ahead mean we can make favorites again. Great idea to offer annual pre-ordered monthly shipments. It surprises everyone when the box arrives.

My granddaughter enjoyed making the desserts and learning a little about bears as she at them! lol ;)

I send these kits to three of my grandchildren and when I tell you they ask when the next one is coming as soon as they complete the one they have. So much fun, such great memories they are making, I love the pictures they share and they are away from screen time and learning kitchen essentials. I love it! Also customer service is OUTSTANDING, you cannot go wrong with this company!!

Love the kits. It gives my daughter something to do that’s not on an electronic device and gives us something we can do together

My son and daughter do these activities together and love that each one has a different theme and taste!

It’s great

My daughter has had a blast with these kids. She loves to bake and so do I. This encourages we spend time doing so together, even though she is capable of using these kits on her own with the specific instructions and included supplies.

My grandson is 6 years old and he love getting his monthly adventure box. He anxiously awaits the delivery and we begin his adventure the same day. Best gift I gave him.

This was so much fun to do with my grandkids! Love it and would recommend to everyone!!

My grandchildren have been receiving the boxes, but have only had an opportunity to do one of them so far.

They prefer not to have holiday themed boxes so please substitute something else in future deliveries.
Thank you

My grandkids love their monthly baking box!

My children ages 7 and 4 really enjoy making the I’m a Chef Too creations. Both kiddos are able to listen to my instructions as we go along and bake our hearts out. I would recommend an adult be present and assist when needed. We usually break the activity down into 2 or 3 sessions. Sometimes they try the treats we make, other times we make them for our family members. My children are always so proud to show them our creations! Thank you for boosting my children’s confidence in the kitchen and giving them something to look forward to every month.

These kids have been great! My five-year-old enjoys doing it. She can understand the simple directions without my help. I love seeing her creativity come together with these monthly kits and how excited she is on what she created.
