The Montessori Learning Tower: A Must-Have for Independent Toddlers
Share
If you’ve ever cooked dinner while your toddler clung to your leg begging to see what you’re doing — we feel you. Toddlers want to be part of everything. And that’s where a Montessori Learning Tower comes in — it turns daily chores into learning moments and helps your child become an active part of your home.
💡 1. What Is a Learning Tower?
A learning tower (also called a kitchen helper or toddler step stool) is a sturdy, safe platform that lifts your child up to counter height — allowing them to cook, wash, play, and observe, just like you.
It’s not just furniture. It’s a developmental tool rooted in Montessori philosophy, which encourages independence and hands-on learning from an early age.
