Found out refills for the Smart Easel are available through the manufacturer, Mega Brands America. Call 1-800-crayons then dial consumer affairs. They will provide you a form to buy the refill directly from them. It is not available in the stores.

My daughter (5 years old)got it for Christmas last year and loves it. The only major problem was that we could not find refill paper rolls and that is the feature she loved the most. I finally found a source for paper refills - "Doodle Roll" by Pacon Corp. I found at Michael's crafts - it's not an exact fit - it's 12"x50' for $[...] - but it works just fine. The only other issue is that the dry erase board is very difficult to clean. I would recommend the product though.

My daughter received this as a 5th birthday gift from a classmate. I was impressed by it right away. It is sturdy for a product that's meant to fold up and travel! My daughter is not too much of an artist, but LOVES to write, so this was perfect for her! The only thing I wasn't too fond about was the fact that the dry erase board is divided in half. I supposed if we actually broke it down for travelling, it wouldn't be so annoying, but it's stayed in one piece, in my living room since she got it. The crack down the middle doesn't seem to bother her, and in fact, she uses this to create lists -- one on one side of the board, and one on the other side. She has used this easel CONSTANTLY since the minute she got it, and 8 months later, she is still using this every single day!! At first she made lists of her friends on it, now she is writing full paragraphs on it! We also use it to play a game she loves, "Spell That Word!" She also uses it to emulate her teachers at school. I have taken numerous pictures of what she writes on the dry erase board, so I can document her educational progress. All in all, this is an EXCELLENT educational tool, and because she loves writing on it so much, her penmanship has gotten very good too!

This is a nice easel, but it requires 15" paper roll. I have not had any luck yet finding a 15" roll that will fit the easel.

I bought this for my 3yr son this summer. I came here to shop for paper refills. I saw lots of other parents weren't able to easily find refills. I went to RoseArt website & got their number. Customer service sent me an order form. Seems Walmart was to carry refills but they are not in all their stores. 30ft roll costs $3.99 plus $3.50 s&h for EACH roll. A bit pricey but much better than nothing. Hope this helps the other parents looking. !
