[supadupapupascupa]

hiya

can anyone recommend an easel please for my toddler?

i want a chalk board and magnetic whiteboard.

they're not cheap, so i want to know which one's are good or bad before i buy.

paper-roll or clips?

thanks

We have this one: www.elc.co.uk/Wooden-Art-Easel---Blue/124821,default,pd.html

It has a paper roll, magnets to hold sheets of paper, a white board and a chalkboard, as well as a tray on each side for chalks and crayons etc.

We have had it now for over a year, and my 1 year old and 4 year old still use it pretty much every day - it is our most used toy.

hiya,

On this recommendation i went to see it yesterday. It does everything I need but the display model was really wobbly like it was not built properly. Is yours sturdy?

Ours is very sturdy, and gets leaned on and battered by two kids daily. It did get a bit wobbly, but we tightened the screws and it was ok again.

The paper roll does need a screwdriver to replace though- I would say that is the main downside. Although tbh, when the first paper roll ran out, we switched to sticking our usual paper to the whiteboard with magnets and have never quite got around to buying another roll.

I beleive there is a plastic version that might be more sturdy, but bear in mind that, with it being so big, you will have to look at it every day :)

It was a present from my sister, who ordered it online and had it sent here.

We have the Melissa and Doug easel that you can find on Amazon, its fantastic, would thoroughly recommend it.

Melissa and Doug easel here too. It hasn't got a magnetic whiteboard, but it's sturdy and well designed. I managed to buy ours for £30 and it was a bargain, they're closer to £50 now. I'd highly recommend M&D products, especially their easel.

We have this one which is great. It has legs that start off small and you can make them longer when you want it higher up. It has little clips at the top so you can wedge some paper under them so kids can paint/draw that way too and it has the magnetic whiteboard and blackboard you are looking for. It's really sturdy as our DS climbs all over it.
