A huge added bonus? Kids who are involved with meal prep are more likely to eat the food they helped make!

Children as young as 10 months can benefit from a Montessori kitchen for toddlers. For children under the age of 1, engage them in the kitchen with a versatile booster seat that brings them to table height. Children ages 2 and up will love the ability to climb in and out of a Learning Tower independently, while older children may benefit from a step stool for that extra boost where they need it.
