Kids love to mimic their parents. They want to follow in their parent’s footsteps. Recently my kids have been wanting to make my wife and my coffee in the morning. My wife and I think this is cute. We love seeing our children want to help out around the house. Recently I saw a new product from RoseArt that I know my kids would love playing with.

Inspired by the America’s passion for coffee and kids’ desire to be like mom or dad, the Creative Café Barista Bar is kid safe since it works without heat. With the Creative Café Barista Bar’s frothing unit, kids can froth and flavor real or nut/soy milks to create chocolate and strawberry flavored, coffee-free “lattes” like the “Mock-iato” or a “Neapolitan latte”.

“Kids aspire to be like mom and dad and enjoy their own kid-friendly coffee-inspired treats,” said Misha Algeo, Global Brand Marketing, Mega Brands America Inc. “With Creative Café Barista Bar, kids can learn basic cooking skills such as measuring and reading a recipe card and express their creativity by decorating their beverages. It’s the perfect gift for the kids of coffee lovers and anyone who wants to encourage kids to love helping in the kitchen.”

Each set comes with three stencils in hearts and swirl shapes to decorate beverages with “latte” art. Once milk is frothed with chocolate or strawberry flavored powder in the Barista Bar, kids place the stencils on the frothed milk and shake the provided chocolate or strawberry powder over them to create designs then serve. Kids can also invent their own “latte” flavors with ingredients from their kitchen.

Containing everything a little barista needs, the Creative Café Barista Bar includes a battery-operated frothing unit (batteries not included), frothing pitcher, three stencils, two shaker bottles two spoons, four paper cups, one packet (20 g.) of strawberry flavor mix, one packet (20 g.) of chocolate flavor mix, recipe cards and tips. RoseArt also expects to introduce additional flavors in a refill pack for use with the Creative Café Barista Bar later in the season.

Creative Café Barista Bar is available at participating retailers nationwide for $29.99
