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.

  • Fold away for easy storage
  • Adjustable height
  • Easy to clean

Frequently Asked Questions

If we didn't answer your question, let's chat or contact us.

Playing should be fun. But also safe. Piccalio products all have a children’s product certificate. They’re non-toxic, FSC certified wood, and compliant with ASTM, Prop65, and the FDA too. We never use harmful chemicals or substances in the making or manufacturing of our products.

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.

    Perfect Gift

    This was the perfect gift for our granddaughter’s first birthday. Well made and folds small enough to keep out of the way when not in use.

    Best Toddler Purchase

    I bought this for my 17 month old son last month and it has saved me. He gets to feel included in the kitchen without me having to hold him. He even requests to eat meals in it he likes it so much. I had an issue building and I contact customer service and they told me exactly what step to look at in the directions to fix my error. I can't recommend this brand enough!

    Outstanding purchase!

    I purchased the Mini Chef Foldable Helper Tower for my 18 month granddaughter. The tower was carefully packaged, it arrived quickly and undamaged. It has opened a new world for my granddaughter. She uses it to wash her hands, enables her to see what momma is doing at the counter, and she also enjoys standing on it to play with play dough at the counter. Best of all she cuts her own banana with her wooden knife that comes with the tower. I am very happy with this purchase and wish I bought it sooner.
