Baking cookies together during the Christmas season

The Christmas season is magical - especially for children. Fairy lights twinkle, the smell of cinnamon and vanilla fills the air and the kitchen becomes the center of family life. Naturally, the little ones want to be there to help bake the cookies. This is where the learning tower comes into play! It allows children to safely participate in the baking process at eye level and take their first steps as little bakers.

Why a learning tower is indispensable during the Christmas season

A learning tower brings children safely to the height of the worktop and allows them to actively participate in baking cookies. From rolling out the dough to decorating the cookies - with the learning tower, children become real kitchen helpers. The secure stand and stable construction of the tiSsi® "FELIX" learning tower ensure that the little ones can move around freely without parents having to worry about them falling.

At the same time, helping out in the kitchen encourages children's motor skills, independence and self-confidence. They experience how small delicacies are made from simple ingredients and can develop their creativity in the process.
