Montessori cutting knife

The Montessori carving knife is a tool that helps children "manage themselves" in everyday life. Buttering their own slice of bread creates a sense of mastery.

The knife is not sharp enough for a child to cut themselves, but can easily cut bananas, cucumbers, strawberries, boiled eggs and other relatively soft foods.

Tip:

Children like to have tasks in the kitchen. Let them "pick themselves up", "cut themselves", "rinse themselves" and "clean themselves". This creates a great sense of accomplishment.
