Learning Tower

Optional Add-On Seat Available

Some of the best childhood memories aren't the big occasions.

They're helping mix pancake batter on a Sunday morning. Washing vegetables for dinner. Standing beside you while you make your morning coffee. Licking the spoon after baking cupcakes.

Our Learning Tower, also known as a Kitchen Helper, gives your little one a safe, sturdy place to be part of everyday family life.

Originally designed by Grandpa Pete in 2014, this timeless design has now been handcrafted more than 500 times for families across South Africa. Along the way, we've listened to parents, refined the details, and watched hundreds of children grow up using the very same tower. It's a design we're incredibly proud of, and one that continues to be handed down from siblings to cousins and on to the next generation of little helpers.

Over 500 Learning Towers have left our workshop since 2014. We like to think they've been part of hundreds of thousands of everyday family moments since then. From baking birthday cakes and washing little hands to helping with dinner, brushing teeth before bed, and simply being part of family life, each one is designed to help children feel included in the moments that matter most.

Built from solid pine with a robust 18 mm pine plywood platform and step, and finished using durable, child-safe water-based coatings, our Learning Tower is made to handle years of everyday family life.

Whether they're helping prepare dinner, brushing their teeth, washing hands at the basin, or simply wanting a better view of what's happening on the kitchen counter, our Learning Tower (or Kitchen Helper, as many families know it) helps children participate safely while building confidence and independence.

For families wanting even more versatility, you can also add our matching Learning Tower Seat. It slips neatly onto the tower to create a comfortable place for meals, colouring, crafts or baking, while also giving younger toddlers an extra step as they learn to climb into the tower independently.
