Perfect Companion Set
I bought the Melissa and Doug Easel and this companion set to go along with it for my nephew. There are no drawbacks. The brushes match the cups. The cups are spill proof. It has everything your child will need to paint, draw, or write up a storm. This was a well thought up and executed product.

OK starter set, but will not buy this again
We bought this when we ordered the easel. It is an ok starter set as it has most of what your toddler will need to use his easel.
Then marker arrived broken - the point pressed in the first time we touched it to the whiteboard and we had to throw it away.
The chalk is horrible - it makes a lot of dust. We will definitely buy another brand ASAP.
The paint...

OK starter set, but will not buy this again, August 31, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Melissa & Doug Easel Companion Set (Toy)
We bought this when we ordered the easel. It is an ok starter set as it has most of what your toddler will need to use his easel.
Then marker arrived broken - the point pressed in the first time we touched it to the whiteboard and we had to throw it away.
The chalk is horrible - it makes a lot of dust. We will definitely buy another brand ASAP.
The paint cups seem very nice - this is the only item we will probably keep.
The paintbrushes are only ok - the hairs come off after only a couple of uses. It is very nice that the brushes are color coded with the paint and the paint cups.
The set only comes with one eraser - we had to get another for the whiteboard. The one it comes with works well for the chalkboard.

perfect companion for the M & D easel, November 22, 2007
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Melissa & Doug Easel Companion Set (Toy)
My mother got the easel for my 3 year-old for his birthday so I grabbed this set to go with it. The plastic trays work very well to catch any drips or chalk dust, the paint cups have a great slanted insert that works to keep the paint drips in the cups and the paint is just the right thickness to minimize drips. The dry-erase marker dried up relatively quickly, but it really wasn't the big attraction for my son anyways.

Creative & Organized, August 27, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Melissa & Doug Easel Companion Set (Toy)
My son received this as a gift to go with his Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel, and my son loves it. Comes with seven items:
1) Washable paint in four colors: red, blue, yellow, green...my son has learned how to mix colors for orange and purple...and the paint is washable but you still might want to purchase a Melissa and Doug Artist's Smock.
2) Paper roll is nice, but kind of thin...depending on how your child paints, it may soak through a little.
3) Dry-erase marker in blue; I bought an Expo Low Odor Dry Erase Marker Set so my son would have different colors, but the one that comes with the set works great & wipes off easily.
4) Felt eraser. We use this one for the chalkboard side of his easel, and I bought another eraser for the dry-erase side of the easel.
5) The spill-proof cups are awesome. The lids screw off so you can pour the paint in, and they have flip tops that can be open while in use. There is a hole under the flip lid that accomodates the paint brush, and the area around the hole slants downwards so any run-off slides back into the cup and not over the edge.
6) The four paintbrushes come in red, blue, yellow, and green -- helps a child keep the colors from getting messy.
7) The chalk is awesome, but not sure why they have black chalk in the set -- you can't even see it on a green board. The chalk goes on and wipes off easy enough. The design makes it easier to hold, especially for littles ones learning how to hold a writing instrument correctly.
I wish the set came with two erasers, and more than one dry-erase marker, but otherwise this is a perfect set.

This easel set is a must have! The paint cups come with a durable cover to help keep the paint fresh, as well as a topper that helps keep the paint in the cup for messy toddlers!

Easel Companion Set, January 20, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Melissa & Doug Easel Companion Set (Toy)
The Deluxe Easel Companion Set was definitely a good set to purchase to go along with the Easel, (make sure you get it along with or before the Easel, or your child will have to wait to get started until it arrives!). If I could change something about the set, it would be to have the company try formulating the paint to a kind that doesn't smell so bad and so overpowering. (It smells for hours throughout the house whenever my child paints.) I will definitely be buying the refill of my paint from a different source! Another very minor thing, would be that I feel that the paint brush bristles would be better if they were bigger and fluffier. Less drip, and better for 3 and 4 year olds to handle paint with.

Must-Have, August 3, 2007
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Melissa & Doug Easel Companion Set (Toy)
I bought the easel that this product goes along with, as well. This is a great product and a must-have if you own an easel. The paint lasts for a very long time in the no-spill canisters that comes with it. Also, it is great for young children as painting builds their confidence and self-esteem. It also teaches them to express themselves more freely. I am definitely not dissapointed in this product!

Love this kit, January 18, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Melissa & Doug Easel Companion Set (Toy)
My 20 month old grandaughter uses this in her high chair when painting. The no spill cups REALLY work... they are awesome! The only small issue I have is that the paints themselves are hard to get off of skin. They come out of clothing if you wash it our immediately but a dark shadow of the painted area stayed on my grandaughters skin for a few days. I will probably look for paints that are different but I would buy this set again just to get the cups!

Nice set, October 17, 2008
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Melissa & Doug Easel Companion Set (Toy)
I bought this companion set along with the easel for my granddaughter. When I opened it I discovered that one of the paint bottles had broken during shipment and half the blue paint was outside of the bottle - what a mess. Also, when I opened the chalk it broke easily - before I ever gave it to my granddaughter to use. The paint pots are very sturdy and should work very well. It comes with only one white board marker, so I'll have to purchase more colors separately. I also had to purchase a paint smock and drop cloth separately. I'm sure my granddaughter will enjoy it when I give it to her for Christmas.

Melissa and Doug Deluxe Easel Companion Set, April 14, 2008
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Melissa & Doug Easel Companion Set (Toy)
Paint cups really prevent spills and keep paint fresh! The dry erase marker is not the best, but it is still worth it. Good buy.
