Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Easel Accessory Set
Customer Review: Melissa & Doug Deluxe Easel Companion Set
Summary: 5 Stars
The companion set is an absolute must if you have purchased the Easel. It comes with 4 colored cups with lids that hold the paint with coordinating paint brushes. It makes it very easy to put away. You don't have to clean out the cup and waste paint, you can just put the lid on until next time. Having a matching brush help my daughter with her colors and from mixing colors. The chalk is great too. It is in a triagle shape which is easier for little hands to hold. The dry erase marker is weak, I suggest buying a pack of them from Staples so that you have many colors not just one. My daughter is 2 1/2 and loves this toy, she uses it at least once a day.Customer Review: Wonderful Gift!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as a Christmas present for my 3-year old God-daughter and she ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT!!! I usually try to purchase educational toys for children but this time I wanted to add an element of creativity. We often wonder what's really going on in their minds,especially at the age that they are beginning to absorb everything their environment/world, and I thought it would be interesting to see her interpretation using the colors, paints, chalk etc.
Also loved the fact that the chalk board is magnetic for alphabet, numbers, etc.
Would def get this gift for another child ..lovely ..and LOTS OF FUN!!
Customer Review: Extras that make a difference
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased an easel for my granddaughter for Christmas. I also purchased pads of easel paper and the deluxe companion easel set from Melissa & Doug. The purchases arrived in speedy time and were overpackaged so there was no need to worry about anything breaking. The paper and art supplies arrived just as advertised. I am so happy that I bought the companion set. My granddaughter was able to use her easel immediately rather than running to the store for crayons & paint & brushes. There's much less mess because each paint brush has a cup with matching color lid. My daughter-in-law says it was an excellent purchase!Customer Review: Poor quality
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't buy this kit. I bought it with my daughter's easel and i'll have to get her something else.
The paint cups are spill proof true but too big.
The paint is awful and comes with only 4 colors. it smells, is thick and low quality. I prefer by far Crayola paints that comes in small jars.
The brushes frankly are very bad.
There is only one eraser -- at this price ( i bought it $30+) an eraser for the chalk board could be added.
The chalk and the rest of the kit are okay.
Summary: i do no recommend this kit. If i knew about the quality, i'd have bought items separately.
Customer Review: Nice set
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this companion set along with the easel for my granddaughter. When I opened it I discovered that one of the paint bottles had broken during shipment and half the blue paint was outside of the bottle - what a mess. Also, when I opened the chalk it broke easily - before I ever gave it to my granddaughter to use. The paint pots are very sturdy and should work very well. It comes with only one white board marker, so I'll have to purchase more colors separately. I also had to purchase a paint smock and drop cloth separately. I'm sure my granddaughter will enjoy it when I give it to her for Christmas.
