The Learning Tower by Little Partners

Stand-on structures like this Learning Tower by Little Partners are a relatively new concept for me. That said, I have been seeing them all over the place in the last year or so. The idea is great–this sturdy piece of furniture provides a safe and stable way for your child to get a boost while helping with cooking, washing dishes, or other activities that require the child to reach counter height. Designed for children 18 months to six years, this product made with a non-toxic, lead-free finish, for another level of safety. While I can see the definite benefits of having one of these around, I’m not sure where I would store it. The bulky size is thus the only downside that I can see. If you have plenty of storage space and want to check one out, you can see it online, or purchase one for $189.99 at babyearth.com. You can also purchase a playhouse/puppet theater accessory kit to extend its use a bit.
