The Learning Tower
from Superdumb Supervillian | September 1, 2007The Learning Tower is a sturdy platform that allows children to not only observe but participate in counter-height adult activities like cooking or washing dishes. It’s literally a step up from traditional stools which can slip or tilt when an active child is using them. The Learning Tower can be adjusted to four different heights as your child grows and is recommended for ages 18 months through 6 years. It can be used as a stepstool, a desk, a playhouse– whatever a child can imagine! Two kids can even work together safely on The Learning Tower– it is rated to hold up to 500 lbs!
Add the optional Playhouse Kit to give your child even more ways to play with The Learning Tower. This new accessory set comes with four themed signs, bright red curtains, and a roof attachment:
Carol Gamble of Little Partners, its creator, has graciously agreed to send a complete set to one of my lucky readers! Wow! Wouldn’t this make the perfect present for your little one?
To enter (US readers only due to shipping costs, sorry), just leave a comment on this post telling me where Carol Gamble resides and, for fun, how your kid would use The Learning Tower.
Entries will be accepted throughout the month of September, with the winner to be announced the first week of October, just in time for the onset of holiday baking… If you have a blog, it would be great if you could link back to this post or grab the logo to share the contest with your readers. (If you want to give them a chance to win, that is.) If you don’t have a blog, make sure to leave your email so I can get in touch with you if you are the lucky winner.

So cool.
I visited the site, says the generous Ms. Gamble lives in Shreveport. I’ll definitely pass the word. It looks like and incredible product. Living with a climbing 15 month old and a let-me-help 3 year old, I know it’d get its share of loving wear and tear here.

Hey 
It looks like Carol lives in Shreveport. I will try to link to this! I have never entered a blog contest before - good luck to me!

I had fun checking out all of the different ways the Learning Tower could be used… Wow!
I posted about your contest and must say that, with six little ones (all six and under) the Learning Tower would see lots of FUN in our house!!
Oh, and Carol lives in Shreveport.

Oh wow!! I would love to win this!!!
Ms. Gamble is a resident of Shreveport and a native of Louisiana.
Being a Mom of seven children, six under the age of 9, I’m sure one of them will have fun with this.... I know more than one of them would though. They’d be playing store, lemonade stand, and whatever else they could think up. Plus I know the two younger girls would enjoy using it in the kitchen as a stool to stand on to help me cook, bake, etc.

Carol is a resident of Shreveport and a native of Louisiana! I am so excited about the Learning Tower, because my 21 month old daughter insists on standing next to me or my husband while we wash dishes every night, and “help” us. She drags a kitchen chair over to the sink by herself and climbs up on it! But then she splashes the water from the sink all over herself and the chair, and once she slipped off and I caught her as she was going head-first onto the kitchen floor.
So as you can see, I need the Learning Tower so my daughter can safely help do dishes! Plus, her favorite activity at the public library is the puppet theater they have to play with, so she would have a blast using the Playhouse kit to turn it into a puppet theater!

I would use this when we cook. My little guys are always pushing up chairs to help make meatloaf!

What a great idea! I’m sure my one year old would LOVE something like this! He would definitely use it to peek through!! He loves peek-a-boo right now. And it would be so nice for him in a few months when he would be able to stand and watch me wash dishes or do other things up high!!

This is the coolest thing ever! My daughter would love to build fortresses with this thing. I would love for her to have something safe to climb on for using the sink, etc.
According to the website, Ms. Gamble lives in Shreveport.

I think my boys would use the learning tower in the kitchen alot while washing dishes (they love to watch me!) I also think they could use it as a puppet theater!

This would be great in our kitchen. The 3 year old loves to cook and wash dishes. This would also be great as a house for the girls. We have just discovered making blanket forts. This would be a great base for that.
I have always wanted one of these. How generous of Carol Gamble to give one of these away.

Carol lives in Shreveport, LA. We would love to win the Learning Tower. Our daughter Greta could use it to help us prepare many of the classic New Orleans dishes we love to eat. It looks like a really fun and useful invention.

This would be great for my granddaughters. I would be the best grandma if I had one of these for the granddaughters to help me cook. We could also play other games with it.

Shreveport, LA-this is an awesome giveaway! How generous! I would definitely use this to let my son watch me cook and help stir-he is currently “helping” while standing on a flimsy IKEA chair and it makes me nervous!!

I am a stay at home Waldorf inspired mom. I would use the tower in my living room and cover it with a beautiful rainbow silk to make a little house for my girls.
We don’t have alot of money so this would be amazing!!
Thanks for the giveaway

My granddaughters and I would use it like a car. We would drive all over the place and then probably use it as a bed for the baby dolls. Of course we would use it in the kitchen also.
Julie said…
She lives in Shreveport, and a native of Louisiana. I would love to teach my little guy all the joys of cooking!

My friend has one of those and they have so much fun with her children, and I have always wanted to get one for my kids too!
My daughter’s biggest idol is Rachael Ray, and she loves to cook and her dream is to have her own cooking show on TV someday, just like Rachael!
I would LOVE to win this, I know it would be in daily use in our kitchen!! We eat at home every night, and my kids like to make their own recipes - this truly would be perfect for us!!
And.. Carol lives in Shreveport, LA.

Carol lives in Shreveport, LA. Here’s my post on my bloggy about this awesome give-away!! This would be awesome to have in the kitchen to have some ‘extra’ help! The Playhouse kit reminds me of when I was in Kindergarten and they had this type of thing set up in class and I would put on an apron, ‘cook’, (LOL) play dress up, etc. It was just a lot of fun!! Memories...
