Little Miss A has always been a very artistic girl. Even from the time she started to draw she was creating faces with cheeks, ears, eyebrows, something you rarely see in young children, and she really has had a passion for it ever since.
We were lucky enough to try out the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel as pictured left. There are so many great things about Melissa & Doug that I love so I figured I would probably adore this “art center” as we like to call it.
First off, it was very simple to put together by myself, both kids were resting though so that helped for sure. The only small issue I had was that some of the pegs screw thread was covered by plastic, for the most part I could screw through but Melissa & Doug did send me a couple of replacement pegs right away.
The best thing about the Melissa & Doug Easel is that it’s so versatile. One side of the Easel features a white board with an open tray for crayons, markers, any art supplies you can think of, and the opposite side has an old-school green chalkboard with spots for paint jars and painting supplies. I also LOVED that I was able to adjust the height of the boards so that the easel can grow with my girls, not something that all toys do, but very important in my book.
Here’s a shot of the different angles, Miss A really enjoys making her “masterpieces” on this child’s art easel and I love that when she’s done I can fold it up and put it in the garage without taking up too much space, plus it’s easy to clean….a mom’s dream!
{Please note this easel does come with the paper clips, however the roll of paper, paints, paint jars, brushes, and any other art medium are sold seperately. We found that the children’s easel supplies by Melissa & Doug not only fit very well with this set, but they’re also really affordable.}
All in all the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Floor Easel is definitely worth the $79.99 retail price listed on Melissa & Doug’s website. It can grow with your child, they can use it for so many art mediums, and it gives them a great way to express themselves through art.
