Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing EaselCustomer Review: One of the best gifts a child can have! Summary: 5 Stars
There is not a day that gos by that my niece Aniya doesn't use this easel. Whether its drawing on the whiteboard with markers, practicing her alphabet and numbers on her chalk board, drawing pictures of the family or creating the next Picasso, Aniya uses her easel to the fullest.
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.

With the Melissa & Doug Deluxe 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 integrated butcher paper roll makes it easy to pull the paper through either side of the easel. (Paper sold separately.) View larger. | Designed for Maximum Creativity The Melissa & Doug Deluxe 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 butcher paper roll. (Paper must be purchased separately.) Pull the paper through to either side of the easel for your child to paint or draw. Once the painting is complete, the paper can be torn neatly against the top of the frame and set aside to dry, and a new length of paper can be pulled down for the next art creation. The easel includes sturdy clips that can hold oversized individual art papers onto the easel's surfaces. Art Made Easy Early childhood education experts say that working on easels offers a variety of valuable learning opportunities for the preschool-aged child. Painting or drawing with large strokes encourages motor development while giving the child the opportunity to experiment with color, shapes, and the varied textures created by different art media. Our preschool-aged toy tester enjoyed working on the easel, whether she was drawing with chalk or painting with poster paints. In fact, her creative output increased significantly with the easel. She especially enjoyed mixing paints to make different colors. Like many children her age, she likes standing while engaged in creative play, and the easel makes it much easier for her to draw and paint large pictures without having to reach awkwardly across a table surface or kneel on the floor. Cleanup, Simplified As everyone knows, art can be messy, so that's why parents and caregivers will appreciate the easel's easy-to-clean design. The trays and art boards are held in place with screws that have large plastic knobs for easy loosening and tightening. This allows the trays and board to be easily removed, and washed individually in the sink. (We strongly recommend using only washable paints with this toy.) The easel also folds flat for easy storage: just unscrew the crossbars and close the stand for easy storage against a wall or under a bed. The easel also includes two plastic storage trays: one tray is a long trough, perfect for holding pens or chalk; the other has four spaces for paint cups and additional sections for paint brushes and other supplies. Unfortunately, art supplies are not included with the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Easel. However, you can purchase the following accessories separately: the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Easel Companion Set, which is a collection of art supplies for the easel; and the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Easel Paper 3-Pack, which includes three large rolls of paper.
