Learning Tower
There are so many great reasons to get a Learning Tower but the main one is that it allows young children to participate in kitchen activities much earlier than they'd otherwise be able to.
Toddlers as young as 18 months can begin:
Washing fruits and vegetables
Cutting soft foods with a butter knife
Mixing and pouring ingredients
Arranging food items on a baking sheet or dish
Washing their hands independently
Cleaning up at the end of a meal
Or really anything else you believe they're able to to safely for their age!

Our learning Tower can hold up to 200lbs and can regularly withstand the weight of a grown adult. We use at home daily as a step stool to reach the top cupboards.

Easy to Clean
Sealed with a 100% food grade oil that makes it non-toxic and easy to clean.
Adjustable Heights

Made in Canada
Made by Canadian woodworkers with Canadian safety standards in place. We encourage parents to consider a Canadian made Learning Tower, produced by professional carpenters. This is not a product you want to risk putting your toddler in, unless you're 100% confident of it's structural integrity!
Low Carbon Footprint
Our learning towers are made in Ontario, just 45 minutes from our store, with Canadian wood so there's minimal carbon footprint in production.

Making meal prep easier Making dinner with a toddler underfoot can be difficult. They want to be involved but you can't get much done carrying them around or holding them up to the counter.
The learning tower allows you to safely contain them to one area of the counter so they can help with certain aspects of meal prep while keeping them away from the more dangerous parts (i.e. hot stoves, sharp knives, etc).
Help with picky eating Children get so much joy from eating something that they helped make. The learning tower is a great way to get them on board with trying new foods and recipes.
Make hand washing easier Rather than holding them up to counter height and struggling with soap, tap, and little hands, the learning tower allows them to wash their hands completely independently.
Great for learning and your back!
Montessori is such a wonderful approach for small children because it supports their desire to do what you're doing.
One of the aspects of kitchen prep that most children are interested in is chopping. Our toddler safe kitchen knife is a great way to introduce them to knife skills in a perfectly safe way.
Children can slice bread, cheese, vegetables, fruit, and other foods without worry.This knife has been safety-tested for children and features a serrated cutting edge, blunt tip, and non-slip grip.
The Learning Tower is ~ 33.5" tall.
The base of the unit is ~ 16" (W) x 18.5" (D).
Standing area heights (from ground to platform): ~ 12", 14", 16"
Please note there is sometimes variations in the exact thickness of the wood used, so measurements are approximate. If you have any questions or concerns about the measurements and whether or not this will fit into a specific area, please call us before purchasing.
Our Learning Tower is very sturdy but you will always need to supervise your child when they are on it.
A Learning Tower, kitchen helper, or Montessori tower, is essentially a step stool with a four-sided frame around the top to keep your toddler from falling off.
It brings your toddler or young child up to counter height to allow them to being participating in kitchen activities as soon as they show interest.
If they can stand independently and are interested in what you're doing, you can start using it! Most people begin to use one at about 18 months+.
It's finished with a non-toxic, food-grade oil. It makes it easy to wipe but is perfectly safe for children.
The wood is also Pure-Bond, Canadian grown and milled wood.
