Dip the bottom of a kiss in the chocolate and then place it against the flat side of the wafer. Dip the bottom of a peanut butter chip and place it on top of the wafer. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.

Dip the back of a orange peanut butter piece in melted chocolate and place on the large peanut butter cup. Repeat with a yellow piece. Add the eyes to the small peanut butter cup by dipping the backs of them in melted chocolate and add a beak with a peanut butter piece on its side. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.

Whenever my daughter and I cook together in the kitchen, we use her Learning Tower from Little Partners. It allows my daughter to be independent in the kitchen while allowing me to know that she is safe. Unlike traditional step stools, it has sides rails to keep her safe. It is strong and sturdy and doesn’t slide around like most step stools.
The way that the tower is built allows me to place is flush against my counter which helps saves space and makes it so she can reach easier. She loves her Learning Tower so much that she prefers to eat her breakfast and lunch in it while standing. It lets her be the right height for the counter instead of seated on a stool.
The Original Learning Tower is built to allow toddlers to climb in and out of it easily. The adjustable height on it makes it perfect for kids as young as 18 months and all the way up to six years old.
My absolute favorite thing about this piece beside the safety it provides for my daughter at the counter? It is pretty! I feel like so many children companies don’t take into account that their furniture is going to be in my kitchen where I am going to see it every day. Little Partners makes so many different finishes so you can match it to your kitchen. It looks like an extension of my kitchen instead of an eyesore.
My daughter’s favorite part of the tower besides being able to see at the counter? Throw a blanket over it and it makes the world’s easiest fort! She place castle all day long in her learning tower.
Do your kids love to help in the kitchen?

A helper tower is our most used piece of furniture in our house. Our girls love to help us cook and it helps so much! I made turkey cupcakes last year, these are cute ideas for this year!
