But when you are only 2 or 3 feet tall, the kitchen counter remains a mystery. This year toddlers everywhere are applauding The Learning Tower by Little Partners, an award-winning juvenile furniture maker, because now they can have their cake and lick the spoon!

Shreveport, LA (August 6, 2007) – There is no disputing that The Learning Tower and its
accessory, the Playhouse Kit, lift children’s bodies, minds and imaginations higher. But the

Little Partner’s products:

The Learning Tower – Little Partners - This is the only adjustable-height wooden stepstool for children that converts to a desk, puppet theater, a fort, lemonade stand, drive thru, doll house, or whatever a child wants it to be. It’s a safe environment to climb up and down, and a special place for a child to create and work together or to solve problems.

• “It is versatile and can be used for many different stages of child needs and play time. It is sturdy and
  durable so can be used in a home for many years to come.
• “The Learning Tower seems to be exceptionally made and extremely durable and sturdy. We love that
  it encourages imaginative play when used with the playhouse roof kit. When used as a counter stool it alleviates the dangers of my child sitting on the counter while we bake together. So in this capacity it becomes very useful.”

• “This gave the kids a great start for using their imaginations. Like all the colorful signs and all the stuff that comes in the kit. Love the curtains the best. They really use it for a store and selling things.
• “These additional features aid in the creative and imaginative play in which my child may engage. They are colorful and evoke ideas that my child might otherwise not have had.
• “I really enjoyed showing and explaining to the kids what the different signs were saying and to demonstrate what you can use each sign for. For example to create a drive thru restaurant, we used some paper napkins, plates and silverware. I had the kids line up and take turns ordering food.”

Here’s an excerpt:

“We found the coolest toddler product ever invented! It’s called The Learning Tower. Anna so badly wants to be involved with what’s going on in the kitchen, or at least see what’s going on up on the counter. She started climbing the tall chairs at the counter, and we were beginning to worry that she might fall and hurt herself.” Read More
