Why Encouraging Toddler Independence is Essential

Every parent wants to raise confident, capable children, but where does that journey begin? The answer is in the everyday routines. From morning teeth brushing to evening meal prep, toddlers learn by doing.

Giving your child tools—like a Montessori Learning Tower—to safely engage in actual tasks sets them up for a lifetime of independence and self-belief.

What is a Montessori Learning Tower?

A Montessori Learning Tower (also known as a toddler kitchen helper or toddler tower) is a stable, height-adjustable stool with guardrails that allows children to reach the benchtop safely.

At The Little Bunny Australia, ours is:

• Made from sustainably sourced FSC-certified wood

• Coated with non-toxic, child-safe paints

• Designed to grow with your child

• Suitable for ages 10 months to 6 years

This furniture staple is a must-have for parents looking to bring Montessori principles into their home.

5 Ways to Build Confidence Through Everyday Tasks

Using a toddler tower can turn ordinary routines into empowering moments:

1. Meal Prep Participation

Let your toddler rinse vegetables, stir ingredients, or help plate food.

2. Independent Hand Washing

Boost hygiene habits by letting them reach the bathroom sink on their own.

3. Arts & Crafts at Bench Height

From painting to gluing pasta, create a mini creative zone in your kitchen.

4. Snack Time Self-Service

Encourage independence by letting your child prepare their own plate.

5. Teeth Brushing Routine

Make mornings easier by giving them ownership over their grooming.

These tasks may seem small—but they build autonomy, confidence, and motor skills.

How the Montessori Approach Supports Development

The Montessori method encourages children to explore, problem-solve, and build life skills through hands-on experience.

Using a learning tower:

• Promotes responsibility and routine

• Enhances coordination and focus

• Encourages curiosity and decision-making

It’s not just about convenience—it’s about nurturing growth through everyday life.
