Product Description
With the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Art Easel, children can create art with paint, chalk, pens, crayons, markers, and more, all at one convenient station. And when art time is over, parents and caregivers will appreciate the two-sided easel’s easy-to-clean design. Designed for kids ages three and up, this easel will provide hours of creative activity that is both educational and enjoyable. The easel features a bi-fold wood frame with two art stations, one on each side, which allows two children to work at one time. It’s also designed to let children experiment with several different art media: on one side is a chalkboard, on the other is a dry erase board, and in between the two easel sides is a dowel for holding a paper roll. The easel includes sturdy clips that can hold oversized individual art papers onto the easel's surfaces. Our kids art easel features a sturdy wooden frame, is easy to assemble, and folds flat for easy storage. It’s height adjustable, and it ships in Certified Frustration-Free Packaging, with paper, paint, cups, paint brushes and chalk sold separately. The Melissa & Doug easel for kids works best with an 18-inch paper roll. It contains multiple small pieces and is not intended to use for any children under three years of age. The easel measures 47" x 27" x 26" when assembled and weights 19.2 pounds. For more than 30 years, Melissa & Doug has created beautifully designed imagination- and creativity-sparking products that NBC News called “the gold standard in early childhood play.” Today, Melissa & Doug is proudly partnering with the American Academy of Pediatrics to foster early brain development and help children build important life skills through play.

I have to say that this is one of the absolute best things you could get for a child. They are able to express themselves artistically in a number of different ways, plus as a bonus you can also use the easel for education purposes. This makes it even easier to teach, as the child has already associated the easel with fun and games. I purchased this easel for my niece last Christmas and she is still using it! How many toys do you buy your child, only to have them stop playing with it? I guarantee that won't happen with this purchase and that you will get your moneys worth; I know I did.
Aniya's mom was able to put together the easel with no problem what so ever, this says a lot as the women in my family eventually come to me so I can put together the items they purchased. The brushes the easel comes with are easy for a child to grip and the paint is of high quality. Although the selection of paint is limited you can teach your child how to mix colors to produce another. There are also separate paint sets that can be purchased as well.
A mess is something to expect with an easel. As you teach your child how to paint properly and mess free you will have less and less to clean up. Make sure you purchase an apron and a floor mat for your child, as they will certainly make some sort of mess on themselves and on the floor.
I only wish I had gotten one of these when I was a kid, I would have had so much fun with my mom.
Here is a recap of what the easel comes with
* Dry erase board
- For dry erase markers
* Fold nice and neat to store in the corner or under a bed, easy-clean storage
-It gets used so much that it never gets folded unless we are cleaning up, but it is easy to do so anyway.
* Comes with the accessories needed to help turn your child into the next Van Gogh
* Includes chalkboard, a locking paper roll holder, a child-safe paper cutter, 4 clips and a plastic tray
-This should last for about a month or two, depending on use. Remember to purchase refills ahead of time so you won't disrupt your child's fun.
* Amazon Frustration-Free packaging
- so simple that anyone can unpack it.
* Exceptional quality and value
-So true, this easel has the ability to withstand a beating. Even with daily use its still in mint-condition.
* Features double sided chalk and dry erase-boards
- Great for versatility, kids get bored sometimes when doing the same thing over and over. This adds versatility to their routine and allows them access to different mediums of workspace.
* Height adjustable
- Translation: Can be used by any child, making the easel itself easy to use for any age or size.
* Includes a locking paper roll holder, a child-safe paper cutter, four clips and a plastic tray. Easy-clean storage
- I have yet to see the rolls of paper fall. The trays themselves are indeed easy to clean.
The good news is that I called Melissa & Doug’s 800 number and they’re sending replacement parts for free (I did have to provide photos of the parts, and the labels on the delivery box). Kind of a pain in the neck, but I’ve learned, over the years, that sometimes diy assembly goes perfectly and sometimes issues occur on the production and packaging end. Once assembled it’s great. Just be prepared for those countersink holes. I’ve read on other reviews that I’m not the only one who had a problem with them.

Reviewed in Mexico on September 13, 2021
Haven’t tried the chalkboard side yet, but we are generally ok with cleanups for the whiteboard end (using Crayola washables).
It is easy to stain the wood, as what other reviewers state, which is a shame. But otherwise all good and the kids love it
