Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Easel Accessory Set
Customer Review: Very happy with this set
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't actually have the M&D easel but wanted a set of paints, brushes and no spill containers. We also happen to have a chalkboard (the M&D small one), so even though I didn't need the chalk I figured it would get used.
The no spill containers are great and they have covers (which I wasn't sure about). They're bigger than I was thinking they would be. There are 4 coordinating paint brushes- 1 for each container. I'm also happy with the paints.
Chalk set comes with quite a few colors and are higher quality than the thinner chalks our small M&D chalk board came with.
Customer Review: Love this easel!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my daughter for her 2nd birthday. I had concerns that it might be a little old for her, but I was proven wrong as soon as my daughter opened this gift! She LOVES it. It is a perfect height for her at her small size and adjustable as she grows tall. I only let her play with the paint when we can do it together, but she loves to color on the chalkboard and whiteboard every day. I have already noticed an improvement in her imagination and drawing abilities in the few weeks we have owned this. Would recommend over and over again. Durable, well made, and absolutely adorable.Customer Review: If you buy the standing easel, you should buy this kit
Summary: 5 Stars
We were glad we bought this kit to go along with the standing easel. It came with everything we needed for our 4 1/2 yr old daughter to begin enjoying her easel. She somehow managed to smash the tip of the marker in, but other than that, everything seems very durable. The size of the paint brushes are great for her little hands. The paints does have an odor, but nothing that can't be tolerated for the time she paints. We haven't had trouble with erasing the chalk on the chalkboard, but if we do, we will follow the recommendation of another reviewer by re-coating it with blackboard paint.Customer Review: Wouldn't Buy again
Summary: 2 Stars
We bought this for my 3 year old to go with the Melissa and Doug easel. It comes with one dry earase marker and the point collapsed into the pen the very first time my quite gentle daughter used it. The chalk comes in pretty colors but makes such a dust storm I would not buy these again. I'd add up the cost of the paints, the spill free paint containers which are great, the paint brush and the roll of paper (which is also optional. I think clipping single sheets is easier) and compare costs. I think buying just the items you want seperately would have made more sense.Customer Review: Easel companion set- great value
Summary: 5 Stars
The best part about this set was the paint cups. It fits perfectly in the easel and they have lids so you don't have toss out the leftover paint. I've spent lots of money on getting some decent brushes and the ones from this set are durable and thick enough for good textures. It also helped that the handles had matching colors on them so they could remember which brush belongs in what cup so we don't end up with black 5 minutes into the project! I had a small palette that I didn't use anymore and my kids ended up making up some great colors with it.
