This easel is just what I was hoping it would be! It is large enough and sturdy. My daughter loves it and I don't have to worry about it collapsing on her! (It also folds flat for storage--but she uses it too much for that right now.)

I purchased the Little Tikes Double Easel for my granddaughter for Christmas. Her mother made the suggestion & sent me the link to buy it from Amazon. It was painless, fast, secure & was shipped free of charge, so it was a "no-brainer" from where I stand. My granddaughter seemed to like it, but she is only 3 1/2 & her attention span is about a minute, it seems. I'm sure she'll have lots of fun with it in the coming months.

I purchased this easel for my 2 year old and she loves it. The paper clip doesn't hold very well, but its far from being annoying. I ended up purchasing from Walmart with an added discount as a new customer. This is a great buy and your child will love it.

My 2.5 year old enjoys this toy, and I like the fact that it'll be with her for several years. I also like the paper for coloring, painting, stamping, whatever on one side, and the chalk board on the other (variety is always a good thing!) Unlike others, we didn't see a problem with the way the pad of paper is attached. It's a sturdy toy and we'd recommend it.

We actually got one of these for free in a different color brand new and I will say it is the most wonderful gift I think my child has received in a long time that is actually educational. I will say this though... if you are the one nominated to put it together it's not too bad BUT the instructions have no words, and only small pictures and make sure that when you put the rods through the easel for the clips that you make sure they are on the correct way BEFORE putting the caps on the other end. I didn't the 1st time and had to spend 10 minutes trying to get the caps back off. Luckily there were extra parts just for this reason I will assume. Anyway, right now this is set up in a corner of my living room and my daughter will spend hours drawing on her chalk board or on the paper and she's only 3. To sum it all up if you have the space to put this and you are considering buying it.. GO FOR IT! It's worth every penny.
