Encouraging Independence in Toddlers (simple Amazon finds I actually use)
Toddlers naturally want to do things on their own. From washing their hands to helping in the kitchen or trying to get dressed, that desire to be capable shows up early. Ive learned that the easiest way to support it isn’t by pushing skills, its by setting up our home in a way that lets them try. When their environment works with them, and they’re given the chance to do things themselves- everyday moments become opportunities to build confidence. Below are a few Amazon finds we love and use in our home to support our boys confidence, autonomy, and independence.
Foldable Toddler Tower
A toddler tower is a great tool for independence! It helps little ones reach the sink, counter, or table safely so they can join in on everyday activities. It builds confidence and curiosity, turning simple moments into learning opportunities.
Montessori Floor Bed
A montessori floor bed gives toddlers the freedom to get in and out of bed all by themselves. Its a small way to help them feel cpable and proud, while gently encouraging their natural curiosity and independence every day.
Table and Chair Set
Having a dedicated table helps toddlers practice sitting still and focusing, while feeling proud of their “grown-up” spot. Plus its a versatile piece that grows with them. Perfect for doing crafts, activities, playing with toys, or enjoying snack and meals. Its more than just furniture- its a piece that encourages independence, creativity and everyday routines.
