8 Best Easels For Toddlers
Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel
The first easel on this list is the awesome Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel which is for kids aged 3 and up and stands at 3 feet 9 inches high.
We are really impressed with this easel as it has everything that your child will need.
One side features a chalkboard so they can make some cool chalk drawings and keep your driveway free from chalk!
The other side is a dry erase board where they can draw with pens. What we love about this is the way it is just so easy to clean both sides.
You just give them a wipe and they are ready for their next piece of art.
With the Melissa & Doug standing easel you also get some great bonuses like two trays that sit at the bottom of each side, where they can store pens, chalk, a drink and anything else they may need.
There is also some easy to use clips at the top so they can clip a piece of paper to the easel. You are going to love how easy it is to fold this up and put away once they have finished drawing.
Easel For Two with Bonus Magnetic Letters/Numbers by Step2
The Easel For Two by Step2 is the perfect easel for younger kids. It’s 3 feet 7 inches high and made from strong plastic, we feel this easel is made to take a bit of a beating from the kids.
One side features a good sized chalkboard and a tray to keep all their chalk nicely organized. The other side of the easel features a dry erase board which they can use pens on.
Now that’s not all as this dry erase board is also magnetic, so your child can have fun sticking the 77 included letters on it. This is an excellent way for them to learn how to make words. Just make sure dad does not think it is funny to put naughty words on here!
Both sides of this easel have clips which your child can use if they want to draw on paper. Once they are finished this easel can be easily folded away for storage. The Step2 is a great easel for toddlers it can be used solo or together with a friend and it will definitely keep your child entertained for hours.
Flip and Doodle Desk with Stool Easel by Step2
The Flip and Doodle Desk with Stool Easel by Step2 is one of the most adorable easels on this list! The idea of this easel is that your child will be sitting down while they work so it comes with a cool little stool.
The height of the easel is just over 2 feet, but as they will be sitting down this is fine. To create some amazing pieces of art there’s a large magnetic dry erase board which also has a paper clip to hold craft paper.
What we really love about the Step2 Flip and Doodle desk is the way it has so many places for storage. There are four large tubs, a tray and a paintbrush holder all on the front!
This means there is no more excuse for paper, pens and a ton of other art supplies being spread all over the house!
On the back of the easel you’ll find another storage section. They say that this is for books, but we feel this would also be a great place to keep a good supply of drawing paper.
Fold and Go Art Studio by Crayola
Next on our list for best easels for toddlers we find a product from Crayola. We love the strong, but still very cute design of the Fold and Go Art Studio and feel that for younger kids it would be a great little easel for all their artistic needs!
This is a sit down easel that’s 2 feet 4 inches high and it comes with a cute little stool for them to sit on and jump off when you are not there!
The Crayola is a two in one easel. With the board raised it has a large area that a piece of paper can be attached to for drawing and painting.
You can then flip the board down and use the other side which is a chalkboard. It is important to note that this easel does not come with a dry erase board.
One really smart design of this easel is how there’s storage at the front for when they are using the drawing board, but when it’s flipped down the storage is at the back.
This is a fun, quality easel for toddlers, especially if your child prefers to draw on paper so they can keep their art work.
