Why build a DIY step stool?

A step stool is a perfect tool to help the adults and the children alike access the hard to reach places. In my own experience, without a step stool, kids will climb counter tops and shelves to try to reach the things they need. Kids climbing all over the kitchen can be unsafe. The step stool with its beautiful, simple, and cheap design can give shorter folks a boost whenever needed.

What is the inspiration behind this design DIY step stool?

The “mom elephant leads baby elephant to new heights” step stool design is symbolic. Elephants are highly intelligent creatures known to have tight social bonds and strong emotional attachment to their young. I think that the cut-out image of the elephants captures the heart of mothers. This kitchen stool can help foster an environment of learning and growth in their toddlers and young children as they learn basics of cooking, baking, cleaning, etc. by observation and participation.

By enabling your child to reach higher and giving access to things that normally only adults can reach, it fosters independence, assertiveness, and confidence.
