Wow, this would work so much better than cramming tippy chairs into our small kitchen!
My two children love to help me bake, and are extra proud to eat the results. We practice counting when measuring items in, and learn how to stir GENTLY. (they're still working on that)

I have a song that my 2 yo daughter and I sing when we clean up her books and toys. so far, when she hears the song, she gets right to cleaning up!

Anytime I cook and there is an op for me to let him join in I do. Why not it teaches him measuring and also when he grows up I want him to cook not just his wife. Should he get married? Now the cleaning tips I will be tuning in for. Boy I need them.

Oh my I love the apple green for our 16 month old who loves to be in the kitchen when her mommy is busy cooking. This would help see better and would make it safer for her because she tries to stand up in her high chair. We help her learn by including her in everything we do even if its in a very small way. We even give her her very bowl to mix and stir…I use fruit pieces cut up small like canned peaches and canned pears so she thinks she is mixing. She loves it and it helps with her motor skills too.

The big challenge is allowing my daughter to mix things and not make a total mess, beating eggs is always fun… then we started with measuring amounts and counting things- eggs, butter chunks, etc

I forgot about daily entries, so I guess this is my second and last.

With wee man I always let him help add or stir something… We talk about the dangers of the kitchen and when and what he can do… Then we take those skills and he cooks for us on his playset of pots and pans…

I would love one of these towers! My little girl loves to help me cook everyday. When its not safe or practical for her to help with a certain task, I give her some measuring cups and let her pour water back and forth in the sink. This would be much safer than the tippy step stool we've been using.

Although my son is under a year old, I put him in the kitchen in his Stokke high chair while I am making meals. He squeals and flaps his arms as I describe the whole process. To me, the kitchen is not just for moms, but I want him to feel comfortable in the space and grow up learning to love to prepare his food.

I can't wait to put the cherry tower in my kitchen so my daughter can help me in the kitchen
