Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Easel Accessory Set
Customer Review: Great set, except for one thing....
Summary: 4 Stars
We got the Melissa & Doug Easel Companion Set a couple years ago when we purchased the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel and we really like it a lot, except for one thing.
First, the positive: the brushes are really high-quality and durable. The chalk is great, with nice colors and easy to hold because of the unique shape. The containers are really handy and very clever. They have two lids, one that you can use when you are painting, kind of cone-shaped, inverted with a hole....so you can dip your paintbrush into it, and easily wipe off the edges on this cleverly-designed lid. Then of course a top-lid that goes over that, when you are not using the paints. The eraser is good-quality and durable. The dry-erase marker is standard. Since there is only one, I bought another set with more colors.Expo 7-Piece Original Dry Erase Organizer Kit
The only negative: The paints look vibrant in the containers, and still look bright when you first put them on paper. Unfortunately, when the paint dries it is faded in color. At least, this is our experience when using the Melissa & Doug Easel paper. By the way, you can get 3 replacement rolls here on Amazon for a really good price. Melissa & Doug Deluxe Easel Paper (3 pack bundle) So it's fine for everyday art, but if you want to do something special as a keepsake, like we did, be prepared for the colors to be more muted than they look. Since I'm not an art expert by any stretch, I don't know if it's because of the paper or the paints....but it definitely wasn't the result we were looking for.
Overall, I would still buy this set again. As with all Melissa & Doug items, it is high-quality and durable, and includes quite a bit for the money. Just wanted to mention the paint issue above, in case it matters to anyone else.
And by the way, the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel is a fantastic purchase. Our child was 3 when we got it, it has grown with him to age 6, and will easily last another couple years (height-wise for the child, not in durability. As far as durability, the easel will probably last forever!) Hope this has been helpful for someone.
