They show the toddler using a large white serrated knife to cut large chunks of a melon on a green cutting board.
Amy’s followers can see him slicing up pieces of the fruit and discarding any pieces of peel.
The TLC graduate captioned the video: “Home for lunch and the little man loves to edit.
“These knives are childproof, but shhh, don’t tell Daxy!”
Amy can be heard in the background encouraging her son to be careful when cutting the melon.
The “child-safe” knife Dax used is from a brand called Curious Chef, which, according to its website, specializes in “making real tools (not toys) for beginner cooks in the kitchen.”
The knife he used is from the 3-piece nylon children’s knife set and retails for $11.99.
PLEASE HELP
Earlier this week Amy admitted her three-year-old son Daxton keeps her up until 2am.

She claims no matter how hard she tries, her son Daxton refuses to go to sleep and she reached out to her Instagram followers for help.
She said: “Do three year olds have a sleep regression I don’t know about?
“This child does not fall asleep. I’ve tried lullabies, warm milk, I’ve tried snuggling with Mom, I’ve tried praying – obviously Bible stories, we do that every night.
“I’ve got lullabies on right now – it’s not helping. As if nothing would help. Okay, I know people are like, turn off the lights, Amy!
“The light was out for two hours. That was an ongoing thing. I finally turned on the light like ‘your energy ran out’.”
She ended her message by saying, “Send help or send a really big coffee in the morning.”
Amy later posted a photo of Daxton sleeping in bed. She said: “He went to bed at 2:00 am. Pray for me today.”
DANGER ZONE
Amy has been beaten several times in the past for putting her son in potentially dangerous situations.
Last week, the reality TV grad posted a video of her stirring vegetables on the stove while her toddler helps.
The child was captured standing barefoot on the countertop near the hot stove while at the same time standing very close to the edge of the countertop.
One critic commented, “On one side a long drop edge. On the other side fire! What could go wrong?”
The Duggar was also mocked for allowing Daxton to eat food that was on the dirty floor.
The idea of feeding her three-year-old food off the floor turned many fans’ stomachs.
One said: “There is absolutely no soil clean enough to eat off of. You eat everything you’ve ever walked on.”
