Participate, Play and Learn with The Learning Tower

I was surprised by how, from a very early age, my kids wanted to pitch in and ‘hilp’ (help) me. Folding washing, washing up, housework, cooking, shopping, gardening, working, the lot: there wasn’t (and at age 5 still isn’t) a task that they don’t want to get involved in.
Despite the fact that the help isn’t always that helpful, I am reluctant to deter them: I don’t want to give them the idea that their contributions aren’t valuable or wanted, and am clinging to the notion that this approach may just see them still remaining helpful as they get older (please, please let this turn out to be true!)
Safety is a major issue with the little helpers: their small stature often requires them to be on an elevated surface in order to participate, and common garden chairs and stools have a tendency to be somewhat precarious.
One US Mum who was determined to let her kids safely be involved in day to day activities has come to rescue of us all with The Learning Tower, a cleverly multifunctional piece of furniture that provides a safe platform from which kids can get into the thick of things.
Featuring an anti-topple design, and height adjustable platform, The Learning Tower grows with kids from 18 months through to 6 years of age, and is available in a range of cool colours to suit your decor. You can also purchase add-on kits for The Learning Tower: an Art Easel Kit and a Playhouse Kit, which give The Learning Tower an even greater longevity.
The Learning Tower retails at $275.00, the Art Easel Kit at $140.00 and the Playhouse Kit at $45.95. or you can buy the set of 3 for $445.00 with FREE postage from Rose & Lily – www.roseandlily.com.au. This would make a fantastic Christmas gift (hint hint nannas and poppys out there!)
Rose & Lily charge $9.00 for postage up to $100, $15 postage for orders between $100 and $201, with FREE shipping for orders of $210+ Australia-wide.
