Toddlers can begin using a table and chair between 12 and 18 months of age. Typically, this is around the time they can walk without support. Young children often enjoy having a toddler table and chair just their size because it offers them independence.
Getting your child a toddler table and chair as soon as they’re ready can boost confidence and skills. Activities completed at the play table, such as arts and crafts, snacks, or even moving the chairs around encourages motor skill development.

A Montessori table and chairs is a child-sized table and chair set, usually made of natural wood. All Montessori furniture is inspired by the work of Dr. Montessori, an educator and doctor. She was one of the first people to create child-sized furniture after she noticed how children benefit from being able to arrange and use furniture independently.
To follow the Montessori method, prioritize your child’s independence when using their toddler table and chair set. Show your child how to pull out and push in the chair. Also, encourage your child to care for their space by putting art supplies, dishes, and/or toys away after using the table.
Most toddlers can begin sitting in a chair at around 12 to 18 months of age, or after they can walk independently. To sit in a toddler chair, young children need both coordination and muscle development to support their bodies.
When choosing a toddler chair, look for options that grow with your child, such as Piccalio’s Reversible Chair. Use the lower height when they’re younger and ensure their knees, hips, and ankles are at a 90-degree angle when sitting. As they grow, flip the chair for a higher seat and a more ergonomic fit.
