Doug and Melissa Easel

An Art Easel helps your kid's imagination and interest in art to grow. It is a perfect tool to bring their creative thoughts to life. The Melissa and Doug Easel is one such tool. Often searched as Doug and Melissa Easel, this wooden easel is one of the best kids art easels in the market currently.

Designed for kids age three and up, this easel will provide hours of creative activity that is both educational and enjoyable. Early childhood education experts say that working on easels offers a variety of valuable learning opportunities for the preschool-aged child. Just like a professional easel, this workstation is generously sized so that children can complete projects both big and small.

This Easel features a bi-fold wood frame with two art stations, one on each side, which allows two children to work at one time. On one side is a chalkboard, on the other is a dry erase board. This easel provides for a dowel in between the two sides of the board where easel paper can be loaded. Kids love the way the paper roll attaches conveniently at the top of the easel that lets them roll out more paper for the next masterpiece.

One of the great features of this easel is that the height of the easel is adjustable. Not many easels provide for this feature. This allows the easel to accommodate the little ones as they grow. You don’t need to discard this and buy a new easel. It also makes sure the place is tidy by providing sturdy paint tray with cup holders and an extra large chalk tray for holding chalk, pens or markers. They are very easy to set up and can be effortlessly stored. The wooden frame provides for sturdiness and doesn’t tip easily.

Some of the online stores bundle this easel along with the Melissa and Doug Companion Set. This set provides all the necessary art supplies that are required to get your kids started on this wonderful toy. This accessory set comes with 4 eight-ounce bottles of poster paint, 4 spill-proof paint cups, 4 medium brushes with medium-tip and natural bristle, 10 jumbo triangular chalk sticks, 1 roll of easel paper, 1 felt eraser and 1 dry-erase marker.

Taking into account all the functions this wooden easel has to offer and the way it is priced, the Melissa and Doug Standing Easel is definitely value for money.
