Do your kids love to help in the kitchen? Mine do, but it's been a struggle to find a way they can reach things on the counter. Chairs are a little scary and wobbly, and it's too difficult to hold two kids up and let them work with me. Luckily, a Facebook ad popped up about the Little Partners Learning Tower that caught my interest. They offered to send me one in exchange for an honest review, and I can't wait to share it with you!
Little Partners Learning Tower Review
I can't begin to tell you how excited I am about the Little Partners Learning Tower! Since my daughter was about two, she's been dragging chairs into the kitchen to give her access to the counter. Whether she wants to help make dinner, get herself a glass of water, or help with the dishes, she's hauled a chair in to stand on. There were a few issues with this. First, she'd sometimes fall off the chair or get wobbly and grab something on the counter to steady herself, causing a huge mess. Second, I was sick of all my dining room chairs ending up in the kitchen! Every meal I'd end up pushing at least two back to the dining room so we could sit and eat. Then, the Learning Tower showed up!
Assembling the tower wasn't difficult, and was made easier by a power drill. I immediately loved how sturdy the tower is. Obviously it needs to be to withstand daily use from kids, ha! It also had a larger base than I expected, which I really appreciate because both kids like to help at the same time.
Our daughter Harper quickly learned how to climb into the tower. Not only does she love it for working in the kitchen, but she also wants to use it as a fort or a house, so it serves many purposes. I actually recently saw that Little Partners has adorable Playhouse Kits you can order to go along with the Learning Towers, and we may have to purchase those. Our kids would love having a lemonade or ice cream stand to play in!
Harper was ready to bake as soon as we got the tower put together. I'll be honest, I haven't been great about letting her help in the kitchen. This is mostly because we haven't had a way for her to reach the counter easily, so the Little Partners Learning Tower has solved that issue.
I love that you can adjust the base to four different levels depending on your kids' height and the height of the counter. It's so simple to move the base up or down, but not simple enough that my kids have bothered trying, which is perfect.
Harper and I made some lemon bars while her brother napped, and we really had so much fun. Usually I'm worrying about her falling off a chair or freaking out because she's dumped flour everywhere. While we still had a few ingredients miss the bowl, she had so much more control on the Learning Tower than a chair that most of them made it in.
You could tell that she felt safe on the tower also, and she wasn't grabbing onto me every few seconds to keep from falling like she would when she'd stand on a chair.
Because the Little Partners Learning Tower has railings on all four sides, I never worry about my kids falling off. They have control and room to move on the base. It really is the perfect solution for letting kids help in the kitchen. When I first saw it I wasn't sure it would be worth it, but it absolutely is.
Our cat even joined her for a little while! When the kids aren't using the tower in the kitchen, the cats find it a good place to nap 😉
Harper also loves to help with dishes and she can easily do them with the tower. Even if your kids don't like doing dishes, they might be more inclined with the Learning Tower.
We chose the tower in white because it matched our kitchen best. I was a little worried that it would be hard to clean before we got it. Now that we've used it multiple times, though, I've found it's very easy to wipe down with a wet cloth.
Lemon juice is sour! 🙂
Since the tower is rated up to 500 pounds and suggested for 18 months-6 years, we will be using it for a long time. My only regret is that we didn't discover it sooner, because I know we would have used it when Harper was younger as well. I foresee us getting so much use out of it as the kids get older and help out even more in the kitchen.
Overall, the Little Partners Learning Tower exceeded my expectations and I absolutely love it! Not only is it sturdy and safe, it makes my life a million times easier. I love that my kids can help me in the kitchen, and they love it too. I think everyone with young kids should own one of these, and I'm not exaggerating!

Nancy Thompson says
Looks very sturdy.
Laura Fletcher says
My son has recently been VERY excited about "making dinner" and helps mommy in the kitchen at every opportunity. I love the feature of knowing he's secure and contained (currently he stands on a chair and I'm constantly holding him from falling!). We would get so much use out of this for my little mini MasterChef 🙂
Chelsey Bennett says
I love the walls/rails. I want one of these so freaking badly!!
Kelly S says
I love that there is some room to move & also that it is adjustable. My grandson is tall for his age, but still needs protection while helping in the kitchen. With a product like this, I may even be able to allow my granddaughter to help too once she turns 2.
Becky Yu says
Love the adjustable heights for years of use!
Melissa says
This is awesome, wish they'd had these when my girls were little. Now I can use it for the great niece and future grandchildren.

Laura T. says
Love the colors to choose from, also!
Amber says
I have been looking for something like this forever! This would definitely be useful in my house!
Darlene Owen says
My favorite feature is that it is sturdy and safe. Little ones don't have a fear of falling off a chair, it would be a god pace for them to eat at a counter space.
April says
I absolutely love the Learning Tower. My daughters therapist recommended this to us. I love the height adjustment feature and the fact that it keeps your child safe while allowing them to help out in the kitchen. We just want her to feel included with making cookies, and helping with washing dishes and this is the perfect way in which to do this. I am so excited. Thank you both so much.
Danielle Southern says
I think anyone with a little helper can appreciate this tower. I love the height and the sides so I can feel like my daughter is protected. This sounds like an AMAZING product! Loved the review!
Lela Calixtro says
I love the fact that you can raise or lower the platform that they stand on...so as she grow you can lower it and if they are still too small, than you can raise it up
Amber Ludwig says
I love the rails on all 4 sides and the super sturdy base!!! Way safer than one of my dining room chairs 😉 I also love the wide age range so it can be used for many years!!
Holly says
This stool looks awesome AND safe! We would love to have this in our household.
Brigid Sim says
I love how this gives kids confidence that they're not going to fall. It's a great design and a wonderful way to safely include kids in the kitchen!

Looks perfect for my little girl who loves to help in the kitchen!
Bethany Suire says
I absolutely love this! It would be so perfect for my 3 year old little boy with Sensory Processing Disorder. He loves to be able to see on the countertop to try to help with cooking or washing the dishes. My favorite feature is being able to adjust the base of it depending on the height of the child using it or how high the counter is. That's awesome that it can continue to be very useful even as your children grow taller! What an awesome product.
bernardina sims says
love the cute cup holders for sippy cups and love sturdy frame and height adjustment, not to mention colors on the stepper!
Katy says
I love that this is so well made and is solid wood. Our three year old daughter would be so excited to be counter height with me to cook and clean!
Katie dettelbach says
I love how sturdy it seems to be! The color choices are also great!
Kristen H says
Love the height adjustment so it can grow with my kids!
Casey K. says
I love that it is adjustable! I have a tall toddler, so being able to adjust the height is important! Thank you for such a thorough review!
amanda says
I love that it has such a high weight limit!
Amber Stovall says
What an amazing creative idea! My son loves to pretend cool on his toy kitchen but i rarely let him help and watch while cooking because it can be dangerous. This product keeps your child safw on al side and allows you to keep them raised so thez can see above the counter while helping oitntoo. They are kept secure so no worries of being near the hot stove or oven or getting near sharp knives. Plus so many color to choose from for boys girls or to march the kitchen. This is such s creative idea and Every home with a cooking family member should have one and let their children help and learn how to cook and will allow them to use their imagination even more when they play on their own toy kitchen like my son Korben does and he is 2 1/2. Thanks i will have to add this to our home!
Deana Robinett says
I love that you can adjust the height.
Cynthia says
Dark cherry or espresso. Love this! I have one but we now have twins and I need another one!!
Lauri F says
I love that it has railings all the way around for safety and that it fits flush up against a counter! I would love one of these for my 4 yr old, so many ch safer than a chair ?
Nicole Mcelveen says
I really need this for my daughter. She is my little helper with everything in the kitchen. She would love to be able to stand safely and help me make stuff.
Michelle Proper says
Where has this been all my Grand Mommyhood? I just love it! Whenever the Grandkids are over we are always using chairs so they can help Nana out. I love that it is adjustable too and all the different colors available!
Pauline says
Love the easy-to-adjust, no-tools-required platform!
Susan Hubley says
Very cool ?
LAURA MARTIN says
I love that this is adjustable to different heights! My daughter will be turning one in just three days and this would be perfect to win now so that she can start using it in the few months. She already loves to watch me cook so I can only imagine how much she'll enjoy getting to help in the kitchen. Unfortunately, we could never afford this on our own 🙁
Mia says
I really like everything about this product. My grandkids love to help me in the kitchen but it becomes difficult because I worry about them on chairs slipping or falling off. This has wonderful safety features and I love how sturdy it looks.
Tamara (Zsa Zsa) Dyer says
Ohhh ~ what a lovely "tool!" This Zsa Zsa needs one sooo badly for my four (4) grandchildren that love to do everything with me in the kitchen! Unfortunately, I am 100% disabled and not able to lift the children up and down too many times throughout one recipe, even though I do it to the extent as I am able. What a lovely site I just discovered in Little Partners Learning!
Maureen Graham says
My daycare kiddos would love this so would I!!
They love to help me in the kitchen.
The Green Apple is my favorite!!!

Ashley Swenson says
I love that you can make adjustments to the height of the tower! Perfect for all kiddos
Taylor says
I love the quiet play. One less loud toy would be great in this house of boys. Having a car that turns so smooth would also help in teaching my boys ledt from right and sizes of circles. Having two blys under two. The removable bottom is a great to ensure both kids enjoy the car without feeling like they do not fit properly. Over all I'm just really excited about such a fun toy. With a wonderful horn i hear lol. Cant wait!!!! We love fun.
Taylor says
Oh my goodness!!!! I love the helping stool! My oldest son is always dragging a table chair around the kitchen to help me in the kitchen. He is two and washes and puts away dishes. He loves to help bake and do whatever I'm doing lol.
The adjustable height would be great for growing kids. And for multiple kid use. Not to mention keeling kids from getting to close to things that may be dangerous. I love the sturdy solid wood build. Making it durable and lasting. Its clean and simple to look at. Which is great for not feeling like it sticks out in the kitchen like a sore thumb.
Over all. A great added help in the kitchen.
Deborah D says
I like that it is easy to adjust for parents.
Mandy Omasta says
my daughter would love this
Keisha I. says

I Love my lotte one helping in the kitchen. However it is REALLY stressful with her sitting in the counter. Always in edge. Feel like I could relax with this and have more fun cooking with her. Best giveaway I have seen !!!
Susan Biddle says
This would be perfect for my kids! One of my biggest challenges with cooking is to keep my kids safe and include them. I am always worried about them falling off our fold out stool. Thanks for the chance to win this!
Azuredee Thomas says
I've never seen something like this before!! I want one of these for my 6 year old son and my niece!! My son loves to help in the kitchen when I'm making supper or desert. I think he likes the messy stuff the best. He's really short for his age though. So this would really come in handy! Does it fold up though? We live in a tiny apartment, so we don't have very much room to put anything at the moment
Sarah Hayes says
how wonderful! this would be so great for all that my LO likes to help with in the kitchen. I like how safe it is and how nice it looks
Nrsoul713 says
We love ours! Keeps little man busy when I'm in the kitchen and we did splurge for the easel on the back. A great magnetic board.
Anne Fleuriot says
This looks awesome. My daughter would love this. She loves to help in the kitchen.
Michelle Henkelman says
I really want one of these and this one looks well made
tammy smith says
This would be great for when my granddaughters come to visit me and they can help me
Crystal Snyder says
This is such a cool stool!
LeAnn Harbert says
This would come in handy when I cook with my granddaughters. It'll be safer than standing on a chair like my boys did.
Linda Manns Linneman says
This is so much safer than the chair my granddaughter uses. I love how sturdy it is and how easy it is to put together. Thank you so much for sharing
Caroline Duggan says
This is genius! I love how safe this is and easy to use. This would be perfect for my little chef when he helps me in the kitchen
cheryl nowotny says
Good job Harper on your way to stardom. My granddaughter loves to help cook, what a special gift to give her a big girl space to chef on
Rija says
This would be great to have as my little one steps on pots and cutting boards to reach things at kitchen 🙂 !

Sarah Whiting says
I cannot tell you how much I've been wanting one of these! Fingers crossed here❤❤
Krystle Newcomb says
My little would love this!! His favorite thing is brushing his teeth so this would definitely make that easier and fun for him!!
Erin S. says
I've been wanting one of these for so long! My son just turned 2 and it's difficult to have him help in the kitchen safely. Right now we often work at his little plastic picnic table, but it's hard to drag everything back and forth and doesn't feel like a completely authentic experience for him. Our cat would definitely use it too, just as yours does!
Monica Powell says
My daughter loves cooking with me. This would be great!
Alla Smith says
Oh it would such a great baby inventory on my kitchen for my son!! Hope to win!
Gabby Anderson says

Jamie S says
This is going to be perfect! Mine love to climb and love to help, so I know its only a matter of time before they are trying to do the chair-to-counter thing. I love how sturdy and wide this looks, as well as adjustable!
Karen Propes says
I think this tower is great. I know my Grandkids could use it. Getting up to the counter to help us gets them involved and helping them learn how to help the family. What a fabulous invention.
Teresa Organ says
This is so awesome! I really like the colors and I like that the height is adjustable.
Tina Alexander says
My kids love to help me bake and prepare meals so this would really be helpful.My son is a little taller than my daughter so the adjustment feature is good. Right now we have a step stool but this would be much safer!
Angela Mackey says
I have always wanted one of these.
ERICA WEAVER says

Daughter has one and loves it!!
Jayme from WA says
Wow! That looks awesome! I love that it is so sturdy. The idea of using it as a playhouse is great. I could see my kids throwing a blanket over it and making it a cave.
