Crayola Creative Fun Easel, Magnetic Dry Erase and Chalk Board, with Art Set for Toddlers Ages 3+

Crayola did a great job putting this together. Easel has two sides: one magnetic and the other is a blackboard. The magnetics apply easy to the magnetic side and the chalk writes smooth on the other side. (Note - there are many small alphabet letters that can get lost easily). Easy to assemble. Cons: the center of the draw that holds the magnets and chalk is missing. It appears to be built that way. This area should be able to hold more chalk & magnets not just an open space. The eraser was missing from this set. We had to use paper towel to erase the board or still deciding to buy an eraser. The kids love it! Would recommend for purchase.

So Cute! This toddler easel is just the right size for my four-year-old. We are just beginning early learning, and this is perfect for learning and play. It is magnetized, and it comes with so many additional items. The box said 80 or so additional pieces. It has letters, numbers and even turning gears, which my early learner is really into right now. I love that it has an erasable white board, as well as a chalk board side. It does come with traditional colored chalk. For my sanity, I bought chalk markers to replace the traditional chalk, to save myself the headache of cleaning up chalk from all over the place. This is a perfect gift for a child who loves to learn and play. It also has a tiny little paper holder on the top portion of the boards so that you can attach paper for writing or painting. There is a slight down side, but it is very minor, the little market holder (cup holder like) are just a bit shallow. I tried to put varied dry erase markers and chalk markers in it for storage and for use, and they weren't deep enough to hold them right. This easel does have a small tray for markers and chalk on the other side, so it not the end of the world with this, but it would be more convenient if the holders were just a bit deeper. My child loves it, despite my little quirk.
