I am just going to start off this review by saying I am pretty sure you want one!  I know I wanted one and now that I have one I don’t know how I EVER got along without it!

 

The Learning Tower entered our lives just a couple weeks ago.  I couldn’t wait to get it put together and start using it.  It is a good thing it only took me about 20 minutes to assemble because I had 4 of my children practically crawling over me in anticipation of using it.

We have had SO much fun over the past week snacking together, making food and just hanging out at the same level because of The Learning Tower. My 2 year old is thrilled with her new found freedom once she climbs up and happily stands on The Learning Tower while the rest of us are making breakfast or dinner.  My 5 year old and 7 year old have had fun raising and lowering the height of it so that they can join in the fun too.

Just in case you have never heard of the Learning Tower I will fill you in on all of it’s benefits.  I will warn you though, like I said before, you will want one once you know all that it does!  The Learning Tower is, well… a tower. It sits up next to your counter tops and allows little ones to stand safely near you while you work.

 Have you ever had a child pull up a chair to “help” you make cookies?  I don’t think I have ever made it through a chair-at-the-counters experience without someone falling off and bruising some part of their anatomy.  With The Learning Tower those days are over.  You can adjust the floor of the tower to different heights as your child grows (or if you are like me and you have a few different ages of kids). Children 18 months and up can use The Learning Tower. The floor is wide (15″ x 18″) and can hold up to 500 pounds.  The best part is the 4 sided railing though.  It keeps the kids safely in their space.

Would you believe that there is more that this amazing thing can do?  My kids were so excited about getting a spot at the counter that they could hardly stand it when I told them that they could also use The Learning Tower for puppet shows! You can actually buy a kit that includes an easily attachable roof, red curtains, and four different theme signs to create a puppet theater, doll house, drive-thru, or lemonade stand!  My kids also made a fort out of it and played there for over an hour.

Disclosure: I was sent the Learning Tower for free to review.  My opinions, as always, are my own.

So, the school year is almost over and your daughter wants a new backpack because hers doesn’t have her new favorite animal on it.  Or your son has recently developed a new love for Robots but you don’t want to go get a new lunch box and backpack just because he’s not into dinosaurs anymore.  Enter PakNaks.  These genius little 3D soft rubbery designs that you can attach to backpacks, lunchboxes, headbands, lamps, notebooks, and anything else you can think of to decorate.  They come with velcro to stick on an item and the best part is that you can take one design off the velcro and stick another one on when you feel like changing them.

We received 2 PakNaks to review.  I knew they were cute from seeing them on PakNak.com but they are even more adorable in person. We were sent Robert the Robot and Clair the Cat. My kids actually fought over who would get to use them.  Even my tweens wanted to use them.  Once I assured them that we would get more they calmed down (whew!).

We chose to use them on a backpack and a lunch box.  They are so easy to put on and are instant decorations.  PakNak.com has a wide variety of designs such as a dinosaur, ladybug, butterfly, football, monkey, turtle, and many others too.  They are all so cute you will want to get several!  No more trying to pick a design your kids will want to use all year. Just pull the design off the velcro and place another one on.  They are so easy to put on just about any item you can think of wanting to add some flair to.

PakNaks would make such great gifts for Easter baskets, to tuck in a “just because I love you!” note sent to school, for birthday party favors, or stocking stuffers too!!

If you would like to purchase any of the great PakNak designs you can get 20% off.  Just visit their website and enter PAK20 at checkout.  Don’t miss their free printable coloring pages (as cute as can be)!
