Amazon.com Product Description
Inspire your young Picasso with the Melissa and Doug Deluxe Standing Easel. This easel will fuel your child's imaginative side and gives them the freedom to create with an extra-large chalkboard, dry-erase board, and easy-load paper roller. Your budding artist will be inspired by free-form expression and spend hours drawing, painting, sketching, and doodling. It is also an excellent educational item and children love playing school with the chalkboard side. This work station is ideal for kids ages four through 10 and has an adjustable height to accommodate the little ones as they grow.

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.

Customer Reviews

My two year old loves this!
I purchased this easel for my daughter as a gift for her second birthday. She absolutely loves using it and it is large enough so that her cousin who is the same age can stand next to her and color too! I am very happy with this product.

My daughter loves it!!
I bought this for my daughters 6th birthday. Ever since this past year when she was in kindergarten she has been referring to herself as "an artist." So what better gift for the budding young artist than her first easel? I love that this is multifunctional in that it allows her to paint, draw on the white board or the chalk board and allows endless possibilities for her creativity.

She loves to play teacher and write assignments on the dry erase and chalk board, or imitate her teacher from last year in putting up assignments for "her class" to complete (my husband, myself and our son being her class). If only she would learn to write with chalk properly without the screeching sound then I'd truly have no complaints to list here but as that is a complaint with her chalk writing skills and not the easel itself I have to say we are quite pleased with our purchase.

We got the companion set to go along with it as well and it came with a nice variety of chalk colors, but only 4 paint colors and worse yet only ONE dry erase marker. Because it's simply a companion starter set the only thing I would've preferred was more dry erase markers. I realize they are easy enough to purchase elsewhere which is why no markdown in my ratings but that would be my only wish for the product would be to see more markers included.
Melissa & Doug Deluxe Easel Companion Set

Out of the choices listed in Amazon for easels this was absolutely my favorite and has lived up to its expectations. As I said, my daughter, the "artist", simply loves it and that afterall is the biggest selling point for us seeing her face light up whenever she plays with it.

Great Present for 7 Year Old
I purchased this for a 7 year old grandaughter. I was a bit worried that it was too "young" for her, but she absolutely loves it and now sees herself as a real artist. This was an excellent choice and I thought those who might worry about age appropriateness for a somewhat older child might value the feedback.
