We have loads of them in the house both for me and for the kids (our 4 year old and her friends). Fortunately I have found a plethora of great stools for various purposes throughout the house which I thought would be helpful to share.
In the first floor powder room, the kids need a step stool to reach the sink. This one works particularly well because it folds up really small and easily slides between the sink vanity and the wall. It's plastic so it's lightweight so it won't easily scratch the floor or vanity, but it's also very sturdy for such a small stool. I love how skinny it is when it folds. I'm thinking about picking up a second one for our master bedroom closet.
We use this stool
for all things in the kitchen (or anywhere else on the first floor) and it neatly hides in the hold everything closet in the kitchen.

This Baby Bjorn stool is the stool du jour in the upstairs hall bath that my daughter uses. We previously used a taller step stool which Jim made but that's been retired for now. This one doesn't slip and the black and white matches the color scheme in there.
My mom found this one at a yard sale for a few dollars. Of course, she couldn't pass it up because of the name! She painted the stool white but the letters were already painted. Elizabeth LOVES this stool and uses it to climb into her bed.
with a handle to grab onto. We got ours when we first moved into this house and it has gotten a lot of use and love over the past 8 years! That would be a great house warming gift for a new homeowner if you have a party to go to!
Of course, if you are a handy homeowner, it's hard to live without a good step ladder. Aluminum ladders
are lightweight but sturdy. Great for big jobs like changing out light fixtures or installing crown molding.So, that's the lowdown on stepping up on a step stool or ladder!
