Stools: WFMW

My kids help me cook.
Often.
And I have a stool in the kitchen that is more or less a permanent fixture. It’s light enough that the 4 yo can move it, but heavy enough not to tip over.
It’s safer than standing on a kitchen chair, and they can see what I’m doing and help out. Instead of trying to peer over the counter, they can have a bird’s eye view!
It folds up flat for storage (although it’s always out) and is very sturdy. I’ve had it for 7 or 8 years now, and it’s stable enough for a 2 year old or a pregnant woman to climb on. It’s the best stool I’ve ever owned.
We use our stool a thousand times a day. It’s an essential piece of kitchen equipment around here.

What a great post! I agree, they’re super and it’s so much easier than holding the kids while cooking.

I have the same stool too. Exact same one. But I keep mine folded up and stored next to the fridge in between the fridge and the cabinet. I don’t use it too much and my kids are tall enough now they don’t need it. Actually my DH steals it alot and I have to go out to his shop and get it back when I need it.

I don’t know how immature it makes me that the word stool makes me laugh like Beavis & Butthead.

That stool is essential!
I’m actually commenting on those THIGHS on that sweetie-pie! My son had those and they were just too cute.
He’s 8 now, with long ol’ legs with nary a roll. *sigh* I miss those thighs…

I wish we had this when I was growing up. I was always a little leery about using an old wooden chair!
Cute pictures!
