A new view for kids: The Learning Tower

The kitchen is the new classroom for toddlers with The Learning Tower, a special step stool that allows children to observe, participate and create.

New from America, The Learning Tower allows 18 month to six year olds safe access to previously out-of-reach areas such as the kitchen bench and sink.

The Learning Tower encourages children’s participation and independence. With The Learning Tower, water babies can fill their own glass from the kitchen tap, mini-Martha Stewarts can participate in cooking or diminutive domestic goddesses can help with the washing up.

Michele Blanshard, the exclusive distributor of The Learning Tower in Australia, said The Learning Tower has captured her children’s imagination.

“With two children under four, the 5pm ‘witching hour’ was a tough time in my house. Trying to prepare dinner while keeping my hungry and tired kids occupied required patience and creativity,” she said.

“But with The Learning Tower home, the witching hour has turned into the watching hour. My children now stand up next to me in the kitchen and watch me prepare dinner. They get hands on by mixing ingredients or washing up dishes. They love it!” said Michele.

Safety is a strength of The Learning Tower.

• The strong and sturdy tower features four side supports and an adjustable height deck, so kids of all heights can safely reach the kitchen bench or other high areas without fear of falling.
• The tower’s stable base won’t tip over as children slide in and out.
• It is constructed from high quality Birch wood with a non-toxic, natural finish.

When school is out and it’s time to play, the multifunctional Learning Tower turns into a fun house. An add-on blackboard and easel is smartly incorporated into the unit’s design, and can be easily removed and attached to a wall.

The Learning Tower can be imaginatively transformed into a puppet theatre, doll’s house or even a lemonade stand by attaching an add-on kit to the top of the existing structure. Alternatively, simply drape a sheet over the tower for an instant playhouse.

The Learning Tower is available in three colours, all with easy-clean finishes: black, white and natural.
