Why we love it
Arts and crafts are the perfect way for your child to express his/her creativity! We tested lots of easels and The Deluxe Tabletop Easel is the best! Your child will feel a real sense of pride as his or her paintings decorate your house. The other side of the easel & dry erase board is a chalkboard, which is fantastic for pretend play school scenarios.
Features and Skills
- Easels are a great way for children to begin to draw before they are able to better control their artistic motions while sitting at a desk. This Deluxe Tabletop Easel is a great space saver, while still offering your child all the benefits of an easel.
- Your child will begin with a few simple shapes, squiggles, then vertical lines. An easel is a great way to bond with your little one. Try adding leaves to his or her straight vertical line to make a tree.
- Next your child will move on to drawing horizontal lines and circles. Expand on this new skill by drawing a sun together.
- He or she may also have a favorite color. You willl find it is tough for your child to switch to a different color once he or she sees the impact of the one he or she is currently using.
- Soon your little Picasso will learn to copy or trace shapes. They will also graduate to a variety of colors. You can draw a rainbow to show your child what different colors look like next to each other.
- In no time your child will begin to use simple shapes to draw recognizable pictures with this toddler toy. Do not label the pictures for him/her. Instead ask your little one to tell you what he or she drew. You may be surprised at the answer you get.
