I think getting my child to help prepare foods in the kitchen would encourage him to try new foods. It would also start building life skills such as learning measurements and how to follow recipes. Cooking is a great skill to have!
Turning the Tower into a fort and using the Art Easel will stimulate his imagination and creative side. The Learning Tower and Art Easel would be treasured for many years to come.
Thank you!

I could see using it in the kitchen so the boys could help me cook, but I would probably use it in their playroom. Alex has to keep some of his toys and games up on the higher shelves so his brother can't reach them and get the small parts. He always wants to reach them himself, so it would come in really handy. In addition to that, they just really need an art easel in the playroom!
Mom to Alex - 8.29.06, Foster - 1.22.09, Emily - 6.24.11
DS loves to draw, so we could use the easel for that and as he gets a little older, he can help me cook and bake in the kitchen. Right now I just put him in his high chair so he can see what I am doing since he is usually very interested.

We would use to help out in the kitchen as well. My son loves to help Mommy make breakfast and I often have to pull a chair over. This would be much safer.
I would definitely use this in the kitchen. LO is always curious about what we're prepping/cooking, so this would help him see what we're doing and when he's a bit older he can "help" too. Would be great in helping him reach the sink to wash his hands as well.

I would use the learning tower to let my DS help me make holiday treats and to help me decorate for the holidays. I want him to enjoy this time of year as much as I do. Once the holidays are over, I'd use it to teach him how we clean up in the kitchen and how we prepare food.
we have a great cooktop island and would LOVE to use it so LO could help in the kitchen or do little projects and play at one end while i cook at the other.
My daughters would use this in the kitchen when we make smoothies. They love strawberry and bannana smoothies and often times help me blend it. But then the fun is cut short, because I'm always worried that someone is going to fall off of the counter.
I would use the learning tower so that my DD (a very...umm...helpful toddler) may open the boxes from which I prepare our gormet meals. I am not a cook. But the art easel would be used daily as my DD's art supplies consist of a small backpack in which the crayons, markers, playdough, and paper are stuffed into. I would love to see the look on her face if she could use an entire easel to make a masterpiece. I am sure baby brother would enjoy one as well, when the time comes.
Hey I just met you, and you're my baby. This is your family, we're kind of crazy...
My son loves to help make all of his meals but even with a chair, he has a hard time reaching the counters. We'd use it in the kitchen so DS could comfortable (and safely!) help us cook!
My little one would love the learning tower and the art easel. She is learning how to color right now and the easel is great for that and she's already wanting to be mommy's helper so the learning tower is a perfect tool to help her do that too!

This is so cool! I have seen these and thought how nice it would be to have. I would use it have my DS help me in the kitchen. He loves to be in there when I'm cooking and this would help.
I would definitely use it to let my DS help in the kitchen! He loves to watch and help me with whatever I am doing. Right now he is standing on a kitchen chair and that makes me very nervous...I would LOVE this!!
We'd use it to help our child stay safe in the kitchen while seeing/participating in what we're doing. We spend a lot of time cooking and baking, so this would be awesome!
I would use it in the kitchen most of the time. I would also find it very useful by my craft table. I love doing crafts and want to share that with my children.
We would use it for either letting my son watch us prepare food like my mother did for me or we would have it in his bathroom so he can learn to wash his hands by himself without mommys help in his own bathroom.
This would be awesome for art projects in the house. Growing up we had a blackboard on the wall and had hours of fun drawing and playing school. It's great that this is portable.
Oh my gosh...we;ve been looking at these for the longest time! Both of my children love to help in the kitchen and this would make things so much better than dragging chairs across the floor. I'd feel so much better knowing they were safer (and not scratching my floors!) I also love the flexibilty of these....would make for a very happy Greene family!
I have two small girls who would love to both be involved with baking and cooking. My girls would love to be able to stand up on the learning tower and help their dad! And we have a perfect spot for an art easel where both would be able to express their creativity.
These things are the greatest! My friend had one at her home and I didn't know what it was until she explained it. This is a great way to involve your kid in the kitchen and keep them busy while you cook and clean. And the fact that you can use it as an art easel is a big perk in my eyes!!
My husband would LOVE this! He enjoys having our 4 year old son help in the kitchen. The two of them have made some great meals and treats. This would offer us all some peace of mind regarding safety in the kitchen.

Leo is a budding chef as well as a climber. So something with sides would be much safer than his current stool!

My little one would use it to wash her hands and help with food prep with baking and cooking dinner.
She will be a chef when she grows up!

I love these two beautiful children!

We would use it in the kitchen! My 2 year old loves to help me in the kitchen.
We would use it to build forts.
We would use it for painting projects. He loves art.
What wouldn't we use it for?
Tales of the Wife
I'd use it in the kitchen so that my daughter can help me cook. She loves pretending to be a Chef.
Unfortunately she'd probably move it over to the pantry to get her stickers and potty training M & M's off the top shelf!
