4.0 out of 5 stars Really Really Good, October 11, 2006

By	William's Mom (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews

I just recently bought my son the easel for his 3rd birthday. Its not hard to assemble, with the use of only a screw driver i was done in about 20 minutes. The easel comes with a few dry eraser markers and the magnetic shapes that make sounds and a few other things. My son enjoyed looking at it but after I finished building it i realized that this easel doesnt come with a what to do with it booklet. I wanted more of a suggested ways to use the easel without guessing. I then went to the fisher price web site and bought some accessories i bought 3 activity packs that included family, dinosaurs and music. Again no booklet just heres the toy and you figuere how to play with it and what to do with it. This gets very boring to a 3 year old with a short tolerance for what happens next. Knowing this i actually started to show him what are somethings he can draw and hear the sounds of things, and noticed that the speaker isnt very loud. The only one i strongly suggest you buy is the family activity pack. It has alot of words that you can make sentences, act out feelings and even teach correct way of saying things. My son loves to put different words together and then see what it says.
I think this toy is great, i just wish that it would have come with instructions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, January 12, 2007

By	E. M. Hoagland "Auntie E" (Durham, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This thing is amazing! Easy to construct (I put it together in 45 minutes by myself), easy to move, and wonderful! My three-year-old niece had an amazing time discovering all its bells and whistles but I think her father and I had more fun analyzing it after she went to sleep! There's some criticism out there that this is not appropriate for kids because it somehow dilutes their imaginations. This is absolutely not the case. My niece loves drawing people and things and making up stories about them. The sounds and suggestions only enhance her natural curiosity and skills and her parents, grandparents, and aunts and uncles adore playing with her with it, making it a great family-time activity.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kids love the imagination, January 11, 2007

By	Castle family "Castle family" (Hertford, NC USA) - See all my reviews

We recently purchased this for our 4 1/2 year old. He loves how it sparks his imagination and makes him want to draw. There are extra cartridges and background sets that can be purchased seperately for the easel that can be changed up for fresh ideas. However, it was our interpretation that the child would touch the pen to a color and draw with it that way. Much to our surprise, the only drawing that takes place is with markers and we have to keep those hidden so our 2 year old does not get ahold of them. There is a dry erase feature that provides for hours of fun and if they dont like what they did they can start over. The eraser is much better thrown out and a damp paper towel works 20 times better. Overall, we like the product and would recommend it for any child in the age range of 4 years old and up.
