FROM WHAT AGE IS THE MONTESSOR TOWER RECOMMENDED?
The use of our Montessori observation tower varies according to the age of the child. Therefore, before proposing a new activity, we must not only take into account the age of the child but also his abilities. Children of the same age can in fact have very different abilities. Based on our observations, you get our tips here: 6-18 months: feeding table, Montessori mirror 1-3 years and older: slide, shape sorter 1-5 years and older: teacher's tower, magnetic cards 2-5 years and older: high chair, blackboard, table field hockey table, activity table.
WHAT MATERIALS IS THE TOWER MADE OF?
We use mainly birch plywood. Some parts are made of hardwood. Paints and lacquers are non-toxic water based.
IS THIS TOWER SAFE?
We did our best to develop this product, always with safety in mind. We know this is the most important thing. We test and challenge periodically every aspect of the tower. We get permanent feedback from users. Since 2017 when this model was launched, we never had any major incident regarding safety. Still, the learning tower is a relatively new tool on the market and not everything is known about it. Please take care of the following aspects (without limiting to them): Never leave the child unattended Prevent your child from climbing on the product Be aware of the risk of tilting when your child can push its feet against a table or any other structure Do not allow the child jump inside the tower or any of its parts Do not allow the child to use the connecting bars as monkey bars (hang or swing) Always supervise the child from a close distance (a hand’s length) while inside the tower. Always set the right height for the feet platform, so that the centerweight of the child (the belly button) is always under the top edges of the tower. Be aware of any sudden moves of the child while inside the tower. Keep the tower and the child at a safe distance from any heat source, electrical devices, cutting devices, open windows. Never leave the room while the child is inside the tower.
CAN I LEAVE MY CHILD ALONE TO PLAY WITH OR IN THE TOWER ?
No. This device is not meant to keep the child busy while you can take a break. On the contrary, this device is meant to encourage interaction and connection between parent and child and offers countless opportunities for this.
WHY DOES THE PRODUCT COME IN TWO SIZES? WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES?
After we created the first version of Leah's tower (which is the current size M), several families with children close to us asked if the tower could accommodate two children at the same time. We realized that while this was technically possible, it would be detrimental to the comfort and even safety of the children.
