A mother of three’s revolutionary kitchen gadget for kids has been recognised with a national award.
Kelly Levary’s innovative ‘Strucket Teenie’, which was designed to make cooking safer for kids, landed a Good Design Award.
It’s a three-in-one product that encourages small kids (and adults) to grate, juice and pour.
It does not have any serrated edges and is easy to use.
“We’ve designed this to be as compact as possible, perfect for little hands,” she said.

Kelly is no stranger to success.
A few years ago, her initial design ‘The Strucket’ was a popular idea and welcomed by Bunnings and Aldi.
A quarter of a million struckets were sold and now she’s moving from laundry products to kitchenware.
“I never finished high school and never got a formal training, so I guess in the journey I’ve been through I have really boot-strapped it the whole way, and have just taught myself everything,” she said.
“We have grown simply from me looking at a problem and trying to find a solution, and knowing I need to learn.
“Our recipe for success is that we have worked hard and we have looked after the company, like a newborn, and we’ve managed to stay locally based.
“We try to keep things as local as possible, manufacturing in Queensland, packing it all from our Maroochydore warehouse.”
