Little ones cherish their independence, but little ones are… Well, little!
Sometimes children can do with an extra helping hand – or a lift – to aid them in early learning activities that develop their independence and bring achievement when overcoming challenges. We’ve put together below five uses for our Tidy Foot Step Stool, but there are plenty of other ways this sturdy bedside buddy comes in handy.
This booster step is crafted from premium solid wood, providing peace of mind in its longevity and durability. When your child outgrows the step, you can use it as an extra shelf on top of your chosen Chest or Dresser, perfect for houseplants or picture frames.
1. Reaching for a Favourite Book
Whether they want to have a go at solo reading, or have been tasked with choosing a book for story time, the Tidy Foot Step Stool can aid your child in reaching up to their bookshelf.
The Tidy Foot Step Stool was designed to work in perfect harmony with our Tidy Storage Bookcase, with the same two-tone design in a simple Scandi-inspired colourway. Encouraging your child to reach for their favourite book not only promotes a love for reading but also fosters a sense of accomplishment as they become more self-sufficient.
Reading is a fundamental skill, and making books easily accessible to children can ignite their curiosity and imagination. By allowing them to reach books on their own, you are fostering a love for literature that can last a lifetime. The Tidy Foot Step Stool can become a key part of your child’s bedtime routine, making the process of selecting and reading books more interactive and enjoyable.
2. Brushing Teeth
Adults take tooth-brushing for granted. Learning to brush their own teeth is a huge achievement for your child, and so being able to reach the sink on their own is imperative to their success. The Tidy Foot Step Stool can easily be moved from room to room; it’s a versatile piece designed to aid family life. By making the sink accessible, you are empowering your child to take charge of their oral hygiene routine, fostering a sense of responsibility and good health habits early on in life!
Incorporating the Tidy Foot Step Stool into your child's daily routine can make brushing teeth a fun and independent activity. You can even create a brushing chart to track their progress and celebrate milestones, further motivating them to maintain good habits. The portability of the stool means it can also be used in other parts of the house, wherever a little extra height is needed.
3. Climbing Into Their Bedside Bed
The Natty Bedside Bed bridges the gap for younger children who aren’t quite ready for a full ‘big bed’. Ideal for toddlers, the guarded sides prevent nighttime tumbles and the modern two-tone design reflects the Tidy Foot Step Stool’s style. Now, your little one will always need to be tucked in by mum or dad, but the independence of hopping into bed by themselves is important! This step stool helps children gain confidence in their ability to navigate their bedtime routine independently.
Transitioning from a cot to a bed can be a significant change for young children. The Tidy Foot Step Stool provides the perfect aid for this transition, making it easier and safer for them to climb into their new bed. This small step towards independence can boost their self-esteem and make bedtime a more positive experience.
4. Mini Storage Bench
Like a lot of Boori’s designs, our products don’t have to do what it says on the tin!
We encourage Boori families to think outside of the box to ensure longevity of our products, as some designs can change purpose when no longer suitable for the recommended ages.
The Tidy Foot Step Stool is no exception to this Boori rule! When your child no longer requires a little lift, the stool can easily become an extra seat in their bedroom or playroom, or a little storage bench! It’s also great for providing height and additional organisational space for desks or bedside tables. This multi-functional piece can adapt to your family's evolving needs, ensuring it remains a valuable addition to your home for years to come.
Using the stool as a mini storage bench can help keep your child’s room tidy and organised. It’s the perfect spot for storing small toys, books, or other items, making cleanup easier and teaching your child the importance of keeping their space neat. The versatility of the stool ensures that it will continue to be useful even as your child grows.
5. Toilet Training
Toilets can be a daunting prospect! After all, they appear much bigger to children than they do to adults. But, by providing a step to the throne, you can help conquer the next stage of childhood as it encourages independence and provides a much more environmentally friendly option in comparison to the more common plastic steps. The Tidy Foot Step Stool offers a sturdy and stable platform for your child to use, making toilet training a smoother and less intimidating process.
Toilet training is a major milestone in a child's development, and having the right tools can make all the difference. The Tidy Foot Step Stool provides the necessary support for your child to reach the toilet comfortably and confidently. This can help reduce accidents and build your child’s confidence in their ability to use the toilet independently.
