Crayola Art-to-Go 12.3" Plastic Table Easel with Storage Trays

My son is 5yrs old & in Kindergarten. He has weekly Spelling tests. Since, this easel is a travel easel, we take it in the car with us all the time & he passes his car ride practicing for his tests by writing his Spelling words, either in dry-erase marker or in chalk. I really like the storage inside, so all I have to do is grab the easel & the marker & chalk are already inside, ready to go! We also use it at home too, as a table top easel while doing homework at the kitchen table. It cleans very well. This was a FANTASTIC purchase!

I got for my 2 yr old daughter who loves to draw and this works wonderfully. You can even store everything within it.

The only problem I saw was that there were not non-slip feet on the bottom so it slid across the table when the boys were writing on the chalk board.

Our 3 year old loves this easel. We love how it folds flat for easy storage and stores his markers and chalk within the tray. Great setup for travel to his grandparents. We love how it's so portable and can take it from room to room.

WOULD RECOMMEND FOR BUSY MOM AND CHILD!!! SET IN A BACKPACK, OR READY TO GRAB SND GO BAG... WITH PENS, CRAYONS, COLOR PRNCILS, PAPER, PLAY DOUGH, PAINTS AND BRUSHES... AND ALL ACCESSORIES TO KEEP A CHILD HAPPY AT THE BABY SITTERS OR GRANDMA'S!!! BOUGHT FOR TWO YOUNG BOYS... HAVEN'T HEARD ANY COMPLAINTS; ONE MOM STATED YHAT IT CAME IN HANDING...

The frame is fine, it is easy to open and close. The tray is great. The problem is the "chalkboard" and the "dry erase" board. Both are cardboard. One has a chalkboard like finish and the other a smooth white finish. The pieced sf cardboard slip into little prongs. I bought 2 for my daycare and 2 for gifts, but all will be returned this week. Honestly, I could deal with the cardboard issue. I mean, I paid under $10 for them. My problem is that they say to only use dustless, low toxic, calcium carbonate chalk and a certain kind of marker to prevent damage. The only correct chalk I can find is from 3rd party sellers and it cost $7-8 for 12 sticks!!. The markers have the same problem-they cost nearly as much as the boards. That just doesn't work for me.

Great gift for the price

We bought this for our 4 year old to take with us on a vacation and he loved it! So easy to take and it was like having the real thing with us :)

This is great for my 2 lil artist ages 1 & 6. nice compact & double sided with s built in place to keep the chalk & dry erase markets...BRILLIANT!

This is a practical item. A must have for traveling with kids. It is not a large table but decent enough to pack and go everywhere.
