A Montessori Chowki Desk looks like a lap desk but is designed for a toddler to use on the floor (Chowkis are often called tables). It can be used for a variety of activities when a child wants to be on the floor rather than in a chair or just wants a very personal place to work/play. Maria Montessori observed children using Chowkis in India. She was so impressed with this workspace for kids that she introduced it in Montessori classrooms. Since then their popularity has grown and the Chowki can now be found in Montessori classrooms around the world.
Our Chowki Desk works well in small spaces as well as in large multi-use spaces, they are stable but light enough for the child to move. The desk top can be flipped so that either the Birch or white laminate is the toddlers work surface

Since we manufacture all Little Colorado products in our own facility, they start out as raw wood. We can offer every piece unfinished at lower prices if you would prefer to stain or paint it yourself.
