When we think of a children’s step stool, we often see it as a simple piece of furniture that helps children reach what’s just out of reach. But it’s much more than that.

A step stool allows children to experience so many firsts — brushing their teeth on their own, climbing onto the couch to sit beside you, standing at the mirror, reaching the kitchen counter, grabbing their favorite storybook, or climbing into their own bed.

As a father of four, I know these moments matter. A children’s step stool isn’t just furniture — it’s a companion that encourages independence, exploration, and confidence. That’s why I created the Gumdrop Step Stool — to safely support the moments that matter most.
