Earlier this month we launched our hotly anticipated Evolve 3-in-1 High Chair but did you know that with an easy add-on, it can turn into a sturdy and sleek Kitchen Helper?
What is a Kitchen Helper or Learning Tower?
Simply put, a kitchen helper or learning tower (they’re the same thing!) is a piece of furniture that your little one can stand on to bring them up to the height of your kitchen counter or table which allows them to get involved with cooking, baking, crafts and more; safely and comfortably. From baby’s first foods to big kid sous chef, the Evolve 3-in-1 High Chair simplifies your life so you can enjoy the magic in the everyday moments.
Why might a Kitchen Helper suit your family?
We aren’t exaggerating when we say a kitchen helper can be a game changer when it comes to hanging out and having fun with your little one. Once upon a time you bonded skin to skin and through tummy time. Now your little one is growing up, and creating memories and connecting with them is about to become even more fun. A kitchen helper opens up a world of play and interaction that offers your child freedom and independence that is totally unique. And it’s not just great for them, our Evolve 3-in-1 High Chair gives you an extra pair of hands in the kitchen and the opportunity to make memories with your little love/s that will last a lifetime.
Why the Ergobaby Evolve High Chair and Kitchen Helper?
No matter where in your journey you are, the Evolve 3-in-1 High Chair is designed to make your busy life easier. A streamlined and stylish piece of kit that will last your baby from their first tastes all the way through to cooking their first dish. It converts tool-free from a High Chair to a Chair and then with an easy add-on converts to a Kitchen Helper, as your little one grows.
Our whole Evolve Collection (Highchair and Bouncer) are designed to fit effortlessly into any modern interior but if your space is at a premium then you can simply remove the Kitchen Helper’s standing platform, press the white buttons on each side of the frame and fold for easy storage.
What can you do with your Kitchen Helper / Learning Tower
The ideas below are only scratching the surface of what you can get up to with your Kitchen Helper but should give you a jumping off point! It all boils down to one thing though, sharing time together as a family and making memories that last.
- Arts & Crafts – we love a good craft session and so do kids! The Kitchen Helper gives little ones the space and height they need to stand at the table or counter, helping them create masterpieces you’ll treasure forever. We have a whole blog dedicated to Easy Kids Arts and Crafts Ideas if you’re in need of some inspiration - the 3D puffy paint is a guaranteed crowd pleaser.
- Baking – baking together from an early age is one of those memories that really does last a lifetime. Our go-to recipe for something tasty and easy to make together? This totally delicious (and lower in sugar than lots of recipes) banana bread from baby and child nutritionist Charlotte Stirling-Reed: is one of the best – you can thank us later!
- Cooking - getting children involved with making dinner gives them much-appreciated autonomy over what they are eating and makes them feel like a valued member of your family team - which has proven benefits for all involved. And while there are lots of elements of cooking a meal which should be handled by the grown-ups, simple tasks such as washing vegetables or chopping food (with a baby/toddler knife and lots of supervision of course) can really make them feel included.
- Helping with chores – It’s not just food prep that little ones love to help with, helping around the house in general becomes easy and fun with an Ergobaby Kitchen Helper. From washing up to clearing up surfaces after activities, kids love to join in with family chores and it sets them up with healthy habits for life.
- And just because it’s called a kitchen helper doesn’t mean you’re limited to the kitchen! It can be used anywhere around the home, whether it’s helping little ones brush their teeth at the sink, reaching toys/books on higher shelves, or a hundred other things: it gives them the freedom to thrive. There’s nothing more amazing than watching how your little love flourishes and grows when they’ve got the right tools for the job!
If you have any more ideas we’d love to hear them, and don’t forget, while our Kitchen Helper is built with safety in mind we always recommend supervising your little ones when using their Kitchen Helper, whatever they’re getting up to!
