My two year old nephew needed a boost to wash his hands so I went to work building a three step folding step stool. We actually measured by holding him up to the sink and discovered he required at least 20 inches in height to comfortably scrub off the grime. This brought up a concern for the tiny toddler’s safety so the solution was to make a stool with sides. He loves penguins so I sketched a penguin shape and enlarged it to 34 inches tall. Three steps at a 7 inch rise left plenty of room for the neck and head of the penguin to serve as protective sidewalls. Several peeps thought it was a duck so I decided to clear-coat it. That way, it is whatever they think it is.
