This is one of the art easels in my classroom at school.
This Art easel is easy to erect you just need to pull the two sides of the easel apart and it stand up on its 4 legs. If you want to store it away after use then just fold it together again. This easel usually stands fully erected in my classroom though.
I work with 3, 4, 5 year olds and it is a good height for them. This art easel ok for 2 to 8 years olds the measurnenys are Height: 106 cm, Width: 55 cm, Depth: 69.5 cm
This is a very sturdy stable easel not easily knocked over. This one has blue plastic legs and a blue plastic frame around the two faces of the easel. One side of the easel has a chalk board on one side a wipe cleanwhite board on the other side. The other side has a wipe clean white board surface. Underneath the easel face is a blue tray for paints, crayons, pens At the top of each side of the easel just under the blue plastic border are two red clips these are for holding up art paper.
Now the chalk board surface is fine, good for chalking on. Rub the chalk of easily with a black board rubber. The white board surface is fine too. Needs a good clean occasionally with a white board lotion. The boards are a good size to take art paper, just put it under the clips and your child can start painting, crayoning their art masterpiece ..... Uhh ohh a little problem, the paper does not stay up easily under these clips unless it is quite thick. Any way as soon as your youngster starts to paint it falls off, opppps so I will get the blue tac or sellotape out to stick the paper onto the easel securely. The blue plastic frame around the easel surfaces is thicker than the easle and too thick to enable you to use a household peg to peg the painting paper in position.
Art time finished, paint all over the easel. It's easy to wash off with a damp cloth Would I recommend this easel well it's a good height, versatile surfaces, easy to clean, but those bits of paper need sticking on securely. Still you find that with most easels This easel is available for £35.00 from http://www.elc.co.uk/toy/art-centre-blue/ or your high street ELC store. This easel is also available in a pink plastic border
