Assembly is easy, so there's little waiting for the next masterpiece! Children’s easels are recommended for building fine motor skills and proper pencil grip—great for beginning writers! Use the chalkboard and whiteboard surfaces of our wooden easel as the ideal practice surfaces for a child’s first letters and words. Paint, paint cups, and paint brushes are sold separately.

A Great Alternative to Professional Easels
Just like a professional easel, this work station is generously sized so that children can complete projects both big and small. Its durable wood construction ensures that it won't tip and it folds up easily for convenient storage. The easel also has a sturdy paint tray with cup holders for easy use and clean-up, and another tool tray that holds erasers, chalks, and clips. Four large, colorful clips are included with this easel. Paper rolls can be loaded effortlessly into the holder and a paper cutting edge at the top delivers clean cuts and leaves your artist's work whole. Parents may have to assist removing and loading the paper, as it can be difficult for kids to do on their own. (The paper rolls and paint cups are not included.) A standing easel is essential for any young artist. This large easel has a chalkboard, dry erase board, and paper roller to let the children express themselves with different mediums. It also has an adjustable height that grows with the creator and delivers years of use. The brightly colored tool containers are capacious enough to hold lots of different items and are simple for tiny fingers to utilize. This toy will unleash the little artist inside every child and could spark a lifelong interest in fine art.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
also this one just looks a little nicer. the trays are nicer and deeper. it folds up easily. it is held together by fun looking plastic wing nuts on the bolts that are easy to manipulate so adjusting the height or folding it up or taking off the easel paper roll, etc, is VERY easy.
i do wish the chalk board or dry erase was magnetized, but i think we will just paint of the chalkboard side with magnetic chalkboard paint.
one suggestion i do have for parents is that overall the roll of easel paper isn't the highest quality and it is expensive compared to sketch pads. you often can't use both sides, especially if your kid uses watercolors or just colors heavy with markers, and if they are left to their own devices while you say, make dinner or lay a baby down for a nap, you might just come into a room with 12 feet of paper rolled out across the room and just barely painted on every 18 inches or so rendering it almost obsolete as they can't paint on the other side and might refuse to use up the other blank spaces, despite your most convincing arguments to the remainder's capacity for artistic endeavors.
i bought some recycled paper sketch pads for a little cheaper than these rolls and the paper is much higher quality, it has a bit more texture and is thicker, and we use both sides.
using sheets of paper makes me want to use magnets to hold it up, as clipping it on to the top where there is a wooden piece running across leaves a space where my daughter cannot color and she gets frustrated if she tries to draw something up there and her crayon pokes through or makes an uneven line. i actually just removed that wooden slat so that it is even where i clip up her paper.
i actually just moved it to her room and folded it up and laid it against the wall so it takes up less space. it seems pretty sturdy there, though i would like my husband to fashion something to keep it in place, just in case.
it is very height adjustable. i have it on a lower setting, but not the lowest, even though my daughter is 4 years old and 42" tall. our one and a half year old can sort of use it at this height, but could definitely utilize it at the bottom height. you could of course put the different sides at different heights. i could see it lasting until a child is 8 or 9.
overall this is a bit more expensive than some of the cheaper easels you see around, but it is way nicer and certainly worth the extra 20 bucks. this one is not only nicer looking, it has better thought out features and is very sturdy. many kids will love it for many years :) highly recommend.
My husband finally got it put together after some cussing, but now it's a great toy and was not very expensive. Seems sturdy enough and has adjustable height levels which will keep it usable as your kids grow taller. My 4 and 6 year olds almost get into fights over who gets to use what side of it so it is a hit with kids.
UPDATE: 10.25.14 - My kids are much older now, but they still have this easel in their bedroom and frequently write on it, especially the dry/erase board. As long as I supply them with dry/erase markers they will write song lyrics, poetry, lists of book characters and lots of colorful drawings on this board. Obviously it has a use long after early childhood. I have no plans of getting rid of it any year soon.
The easel itself was simple to put together, with bright colorful knobs and metallic screws. It was pretty intuitive, but the directions were adequate to get anyone who isn't inclined to wing it. The knobs are made of a pretty sturdy plastic which felt firm and heavy in the hand. I did not get the impression that it would break easily from over torquing, in fact, I think the wood would split before the knob broke.
Make sure you pick up a set or two to go along with the easel. It really is just a wooden frame and the trays. You still need paper, and drawing/art supplies to round it out.
Our 3 year old loves to scribble on the whiteboard with dry erase markers, and the one time she almost went at it with a permanent marker but we were lucky enough to head her off in time. The chalk board is a nice green color and reminds me of grade school. Man I hated the sound of scratching chalk and fingernails on boards. This one thankfully is not slate or whatever, and is just the painted on chalkboard material, so no screeching fingernails. Yay!
Yes, there are other higher quality easels out there, but this one is relatively inexpensive, gets used practically daily, and is a great learning and creative tool for our preshcooler.

Reviewed in Spain on February 16, 2024
Very sturdy, Good quality, super cute, has great spaces to store art supplies and adjustable in height for smaller people (my son is 3’ tall) to older artists (3-9 years old)
Get the Melissa and Doug easel kit, it has everything you need with reusable bits. The extra kit you can buy has all the coloured containers to hold the paint, coloured coded paint brushes so they don’t mix up the colours, paint, a large roll of paper, chalk and eraser and dry erase marker.
It was ok to put together on my own, a had to back up a step to get it right and would be easier with two adults working on it.
Make sure the screws are tight and the kids won’t be able to loosen them.
My ONLY complaint is my chalk board is not chalk board paint but a matte black plastic coating, it doesn’t show the chalk well at all but I don’t see any of these types of comments in the reviews so I’m wondering if I have a manufacturers defect.
Overall, very happy with this purchase, would highly recommend
