This paper pad works well with pencils, markers and crayons, but it is a little too thin for paints. We've tried finger paints, tempera and watercolors, but it just doesn't hold up well to any of them. I put individual sheets of paper on the easel for my 3 year old to use, but if I needed to readjust the painting while it was wet it often ripped (and if I waited to move it after it was dry, the paper always curled up).

If you are looking for a good sized pad of paper for drawing, this is a great product. However, if you need paper for your child to paint on, you'd be better off buying something else.

I am a teacher and I use these to make my anchor charts for my class. They are the perfect size. I also use them at home with my kids to make wonderful works of art!

CONS: this product states on the package "50 sheets of premium heavy weight white bond paper" and "great for pencils, markers, paints and crayons!" The paper is no thicker then cheep computer paper. I had looked for the weight rateing for this paper, but it is not listed. It is less then, but around the thinkness of 20 lb, copy paper. the box it was send in was too big and the paper shifed resulting in most of the corners getting bent. even quickly and spairingly useing"water color tempera poster paint" on it results in warped paper. you can't really keep pad on easel.
Pros: its cheep, its bright white. little kids don't care about, quality.

This is great art paper to have around, whether you have an easel or not and a good value.

Nice large tablets of paper. Comes in two separate packs which makes it great if you have 2 kids.

I bought each of the items below for my three children ages 5, 8 & 9 for Christmas.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel
Melissa & Doug Easel Accessory Set
Melissa & Doug Easel Pad Bundle 50 Sheets 2-Pack
Melissa & Doug Deluxe Easel Paper (3 pack bundle)

Each of these items are very high quality, and I have recommended them to everyone I talk to about what to get their children for birthday/Christmas any gifting opportunity. The smock is able to fit all of my children, despite the wide age range. The easel has settings that are adjustable for different height settings, which is useful for those with younger children, when they grow, the easel can grow with them. My children were elated with this gift, and I will purchase Melissa & Doug products as often as possible, the quality is the best I've found among children's toys.

We don't have an easel but these are so much fun for our preschooler & toddler. They lay on the floor and use crayons or watercolor with these oversize drawing pads. When they've used up all the pages, we'll definitely buy another set. I put 5 stars for the educational value since I can use these to teach my kids to write or distinguish pictures that I draw, etc.

The thickness of this paper is very nice, the kids can paint on it and it holds up, unlike some other thin paper I've bought for them. But it is HUGE! Its great for the easel but its hard to store, for me.

I have a M&D eisel with the paper roll, but the kids broke the roll holder, so I turned to these. I clip them to the board and the kids go at with their crayons, markers, and paint.

Great pads of paper--have Amazon mail it directly to the recipient, though, the pads are large and heavy (mailing cost high if not mailed by Amazon).
