Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Easel Companion Set
Customer Review: My grandson loved it
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my grandson's 5th birthday and he LOVED it. It is a good sturdy easel and lots of paint and chalk keep him busy for hours.Customer Review: Creative & Organized
Summary: 4 Stars
My son received this as a gift to go with his Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel, and my son loves it. Comes with seven items:
1) Washable paint in four colors: red, blue, yellow, green...my son has learned how to mix colors for orange and purple...and the paint is washable but you still might want to purchase a Melissa and Doug Artist's Smock.
2) Paper roll is nice, but kind of thin...depending on how your child paints, it may soak through a little.
3) Dry-erase marker in blue; I bought an Expo Low Odor Dry Erase Marker Set so my son would have different colors, but the one that comes with the set works great & wipes off easily.
4) Felt eraser. We use this one for the chalkboard side of his easel, and I bought another eraser for the dry-erase side of the easel.
5) The spill-proof cups are awesome. The lids screw off so you can pour the paint in, and they have flip tops that can be open while in use. There is a hole under the flip lid that accomodates the paint brush, and the area around the hole slants downwards so any run-off slides back into the cup and not over the edge.
6) The four paintbrushes come in red, blue, yellow, and green -- helps a child keep the colors from getting messy.
7) The chalk is awesome, but not sure why they have black chalk in the set -- you can't even see it on a green board. The chalk goes on and wipes off easy enough. The design makes it easier to hold, especially for littles ones learning how to hold a writing instrument correctly.
I wish the set came with two erasers, and more than one dry-erase marker, but otherwise this is a perfect set.
Customer Review: Perfect way to accessorize
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my 2 year old. While the markers are still tucket away and the paint has yet to come out (saving for a rainy day activity), he loves the easel and the accessories. Ohhh and for those looking for tips on how to get crayon off the chalk board or the white board. The magic eraser works wonders! I had to google some options and this was the one I found to be the best. Others required baking soda and soaking, blah, blah. The magic eraser only required that I get it out of my cleaning cabinet :)Customer Review: Paints do have a strong chemical smell
Summary: 3 Stars
I had read some reviews of this before I purchased the set and they said that the paint smells strong. It does say non toxic, however that is really hard to believe after I took a whiff of it. I love Melissa and Doug toys but I am not impressed with the paint for that reason. Other than that my child loves painting and using her easel. No regrets there.Customer Review: My duaghter's have enjoyed using the toy. Everything they needed was included so that was nice for me.
Summary: 5 Stars
I shopped around in stores and there wasn't anything else that included everything that the companion set included for this price. No one was even close.
