The observation tower is inspired by Montessori pedagogy and has many uses. To help you choose the one you need, discover our selection and our advice.
The Montessori observation tower takes the look of a high step with barriers on the sides, and sometimes at the back. What is this accessory for? The learning tower allows children to easily and safely access high surfaces. They can thus wash their hands, brush their teeth, catch objects in height, or even observe their parents cooking and help them prepare the meal. Thanks to this, the child feels included in family activities, he gains independently and can better observe what is outside of his usual scope. You can start using an observation tower between the age of 18 and 20 months. Some models are designed to serve up to 5 or 6 years. If this object is very practical and promotes development, some safety rules must be observed: since the child is raised, it is necessary to store things that should not be within reach (drugs, batteries, DIY tools …) higher, if possible in a closed closet so that it is not tempted to try to catch them. It is recommended to teach him not to be turbulent when he is on it to avoid falls, and he must always be under your surveillance when he uses it.
To choose the model that suits you, you have to ask yourself a few questions: what is your budget? Do you prefer a wooden or plastic learning tower? Do you want an evolutionary model? Do you have the place to let it be installed or should you prefer a folding model? Once you have the answers, choose the tower that will best suit you in our selection!
