5 Activities with the Montessori Learning Tower

The learning tower is one of the most versatile Montessori furniture pieces. More than just a step stool, it offers your child the opportunity to actively participate in family life while developing autonomy and self-confidence. Here are 5 enriching activities to do with your Montefoly learning tower.

1. Little Chefs’ Kitchen

The kitchen is an extraordinary learning laboratory for children. With the learning tower, your child can:

  • Wash fruits and vegetables

  • Mix ingredients in a bowl

  • Roll out cookie dough

  • Top their own pizza

Tip: Provide an apron in their size and child-safe utensils.

2. Hand-Washing Ritual

Turn hand-washing into a learning moment:

  • Teach the steps for effective hand washing

  • Let your child turn the faucet on and off independently

  • Provide a small nail brush

Hint: An animal-shaped timer can make the activity even more fun.

3. Creative Workshop

In desk configuration, the learning tower becomes:

  • A space for drawing and coloring

  • A playdough workshop

  • A reading nook with accessible books

  • A space for building toys

4. Pouring Laboratory

Pouring is a fundamental Montessori activity:

  • Provide two bowls and a spoon for transferring pasta

  • Use tongs to move small objects from one container to another

  • Pour water between different containers (in the sink or on a tray)

5. Daily Assistant

Involve your child in everyday tasks:

  • Watering the plants

  • Helping fold laundry

  • Setting the table for meals

  • Cleaning a small surface with a damp cloth

How to Ensure Safety

While the Montefoly learning tower is designed with high safety standards, here are a few additional precautions:

  • Always stay close to your child

  • Clearly explain safety rules

  • Adjust the height based on the activity and your child’s size

  • Use the safety loop for younger children

With your Montessori learning tower, you’re offering your child much more than just furniture: you’re giving them access to a world of enriching experiences that stimulate their development while strengthening family bonds.
