Kitchen helper

Montessori kitchen helper, learning tower

A Montessori learning tower, or kitchen helper, can be one of the most useful items found in an apartment as a child's interest in everything mom or dad does grows.

Little ones, from the moment they can stand on their own, are very eager to explore the world around them with all five senses. In order to meet these developmental needs, you need to organize your work properly and equip your home accordingly. A Montessori kitchen helper will be of great use here.

Kitchen helper - main features

Material

The kitchen helper is made of birch plywood intended for the production of children's toys and furniture. Therefore, it has a number of approvals and certificates that guarantee the safety of the child, which we acquaint you with at the end of this description.

Safety

A child's stool or chair lifts a baby to a higher level, but a kid can easily fall off them. The educational tower was built with maximum safety in mind. It is stable and has a wide base with four legs, which guarantees good stability. The steps are lined with non-slip material, and there is a bar behind the child's back to prevent baby from falling off.

Versatility

There are two different heights at which a child can stand, depending on age and height. To change the position of the platform, you only need a wrench, which is included in the kit, and about 1 minute of free time.

What gives your child and you the kitchen helper?

Kitchen helper encourages a sense of independence

The kitchen helper, also known as a learning tower, helps the child to naturally strive to do the things kid has seen his parents do. Kitchen is the place where most things happen during the day. A barrier for a little one is his small height, and thus inability to reach the kitchen countertop and the objects that are on it.

The kitchen helper allows the child to climb up and down the tower independently. It has two wide steps that make such climbing safe. The educational tower gives to a child a chance to discover food, hygiene items and dishes on his own, as well as perform simple activities arranged by mom. The fact that children learn to do these things on their own builds their confidence and self-esteem.

Spending more time together

The kitchen helper gives you the opportunity to spend the maximum amount of time together without compromising your housework schedule. Your child will be delighted to help you wash vegetables and even cut them - in complete safety. Nothing prevents a kid from helping with salting and adding spices. It's a win-win situation: dinner has been prepared, and you've spent a lot of time with your child on joint, educational play.

Kitchen helper helps to learn about new foods

The child's use of the educational tower helps to awaken his appetite and desire to try new dishes. Yor child learns about vegetables as he plays, which can make him more eager to eat them at lunch or dinner. Repeated exposure and sensory learning are some of the best known strategies in this regard, as reluctance to try new foods is a manifestation of a defensive instinct. So the more often a child has a chance to see, touch and explore the ingredients you use for dinner, the better the chances are that he will accept what he finds later on his plate.

Multipurpose kitchen helper

The kitchen helper is also suitable for use outside the kitchen. With the learning tower, your kid can browse through the books that lie on the "adult" table, play with his parents or play with his toys. With a little creativity, you can use the blanket to create a tent for your child or organize a puppet show.
