Product Description

Editorial Review

With two work surfaces and four ways to create, the Crayola Double Easel is ready to turn any inspiration into a work of art. On one side, a combination magnetic/dry erase board captures your little one’s multimedia work, with the help of 77 magnetic letters and numbers (included). On the other side, a chalkboard awaits a good dusting up. Both sides have clips to slip paper beneath so old fashion painting can take place. Four removable bins easily store art supplies, magnets, an eraser--anything a budding artist needs to keep at the ready. Made of sturdy plastic and standing 43 inches tall, the easel easily accommodates two artists and is quick to assemble: simply snap the arm braces (shaped like red crayola crayons) onto plastic pegs, and the easel is ready to go. Lift the arms, and the easel folds flat for compact storage. Chalk and dry erase markers are not included. --Heather Lyndon

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a pretty easel., July 21, 2009

This review is from: Crayola Magnetic Double Easel (Toy)

We've only had it for one day and it has withstood my 2-year-old climbing around and underneath it (because he thinks everything is a piece of playground equipment). The reason for this review is to let people know that in order to make the art trays stay on the easel (several people have complained that they easily fall off), you have to reach behind (inside) the easel and snap them on. You don't just sit them on; they snap in place. Do this and they won't keep falling off. : )

5.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs Up From Mom, May 17, 2006

This review is from: Crayola Magnetic Double Easel (Toy)

My son received this item as a gift for his 3rd birthday. He absolutely loves it! He already loved to color, draw, and write his letters. This toy gave him a new forum in which to do that, and I can't pull him away from it. It's a mommy dream come true as well. It took a whole 30 seconds to set up. God bless crayola for keeping out the excessive packaging, those insane metal twist ties, and any screws or bolts to assemble. The whole item just pops into place. It's easy to store too as it collapses flat.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bad tray design!, July 21, 2008

By 

Kagomeh - See all my reviews

I bought this easel for my toddler because of Crayola's good reputation and attractiveness of this easel, but I was disappointed.

PROS: 1) Easy to assemble, 2) Comes with magnetic letters and numbers, 3) Nice hooks to hang drawing paper, and 4) Sturdy plastic construction with rounded edges

CONS: 1) The 4 trays that are supposed to hold the magnets, drawing supplies, and paints fall off ALL THE TIME! The plastic parts that are supposed to keep the trays in place are very poorly designed and any time my child leans on them or accidentally bumps the easel, as toddlers often do, they would come crashing down. I tried double sticky tape for carpets which only worked temporarily, and finally resorted to velcro-ing the trays down. 2) No drawing supplies came with this unit - only magnets. So, be prepared to buy chalk, erase board markers, paper and crayons when you buy this easel or else your child will be disappointed that he/she cannot draw right away.
