Before children learn to resent chores comes a delightful stage that wise parents are eager to encourage: the “Can I help?” stage. A particularly clever mama, Carol Gamble, decided to avoid the risk of her small daughter falling off a chair when helping her mother in the kitchen, and invented The Learning Tower, a multi-purpose, adjustable-height stepstool. The Learning Tower is a patented product of Little Partners, a company started by Gamble, with a simple, attractive design that has ample space to hold two children simultaneously.

Rebecca Finell, founder of Boon, shares her “Road to Success” with The Giggle Guide^®. Editorial Director David Gaunt recalls, “I remember very well the impact her student design, The Frog Pod made at the JPMA show several years ago. I met her among a group of competitive student designers, and by the next show she was a successful corporate executive, building one of the most exciting new children’s brands in years. I’ve seen a lot, having attended juvenile product shows since 1979, and Boon has been one of the best, and most well-deserved success stories. She understood function and design, plus the importance of brand image.” Her story is a great example of the possibilities of staying true to one’s business vision and being willing to take the risks necessary to succeed.
