"We are eternal fans of Piccalio's kid gear that’s multipurpose, and get even more excited by products or furniture that can go the distance. Stylish aesthetic and complements just about any type of space."
"The best learning tower for independent toddlers."
"Non-toxic and beautiful children's items for home and beyond."
"Piccalio’s helper tower is destined to become an indispensable part of kitchen life."
"Piccalio’s open-ended toys and furniture help the play emerge from within the child."
Can furniture teach kids stuff? Yup.
Toddlers learn best when they touch things, smell things, taste things, and see things. Look for ways to provide hands-on, firsthand experiences to encourage independence and self-directed learning.
Open-ended living for independent learning.
Stirring, mixing, kneading dough, cutting, slicing, pouring, spooning, brushing teeth and washing dishes are all great activities your little one can enjoy with the help of a toddler tower.
Real wood. Made to last (and last).
We only use real wood, carefully and sustainably sourced (FSC®). Our products are treated with innovative, non-toxic coating that’s safe for you, and the planet. Plus, it's easy to clean - because duh!
Frequently asked questions
If we didn't answer your question, let's chat or contact us.
You can find assembly instructions for all products here.
Use a damp, clean cloth to wipe the surfaces. Slight maintenance may be required over time.
Don’t leave or store your Piccalio products outside. They are protected by a lacquer coating but are made of wood and are therefore susceptible to damage caused by exposure to rain and wet conditions.
We recommend keeping our wood products in dry, non-humid environments, and kept away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances that produce heat.
While both are equally sturdy and safe, there are some differences between these two towers. The Convertible Helper Tower has the option to convert into a table and chair, while the Foldable Helper Tower does not have this feature. The Foldable Helper Tower can fold for easy storage. Another feature of the Foldable Helper Tower is an adjustable standing platform (3 height options) adjusting as your child grows, while the Convertible Helper Tower only has an adjustable step (3 height options) which is used as a seat when the tower converts into a table.
The Safety Net is a Helper Tower accessory for the first months of use. It can create a protective barrier while your little one is getting familiar with the Helper Tower and gaining confidence.
Please note, if your child is not firmly stable yet, or cannot stand unaided we suggest not using the Helper Tower until the child is fully stable and can stand unsupported.
The Helper Tower is made from FSC Certified (sustainably harvested) Birch plywood and solid Pine. We use a 0-VOC water-based finish that is formaldehyde and lead free.

We're pretty pleased with this helper tower! Its sturdy and easy to clean, super convenient that it folds away. And helps our toddler feel less frustrated when he wants to be included in the morning breakfast prep routine.

My kid loves it!
- Debbie N.Verified BuyerReviewingMini Chef Foldable Helper TowerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoGreat tower for our little one
It’s been a fun addition to the kitchen area bringing our daughter closer to the ‘action’. She frequently requests help up. Easy to wipe clean after some food or water spills. Very happy with purchase.
- Jessica C.Verified BuyerReviewingMini Chef Foldable Helper TowerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoLove the look
Great quality! My daughter is 15 months old, and she was able to stand in it without us watching her all the time. There is a risk of her falling out when she sits down, but she figured it out. She’s loves standing on the tower to eat fruits. We haven’t been using the folding feature as much as our kitchen is big enough. We like that the height is adjustable and pretty easy to clean. Assembly was very easy. The wood is high quality.
