Great toy - child age 4 and up

This is a great board. My son is learning letters and can practice on this board. We currently use only the white board side. We also use it for painting with a large sheet of paper. Less mess than when done on the table.

Terrible chalkboard, overall just okay

I like the fact that the easel is wood, but I have to confess, I am very disappointed with the product, particularly the chalkboard. My daughter can barely get a piece of chalk to make a mark on it. My husband gauged scratches in it when he tried to force a chalk mark on it. It simply doesn't work.

The assembly, though not too difficult, seemed overly cumbersome with too many little pieces that everyone is tempted to unscrew after it is assembled. The colored knobs simply beg to be twisted.

I used to be a preschool teacher and we had those big plastic little tikes easels, and I have to say, they were much easier to clean and manage. You could just take them outside and hose them off. They were extremely durable too. With the particle board backing, I don't think the M&D easel will withstand that kind of clean-up.

Overall, I think Melissa & Doug could have done a much better job with the product.

THIS IS AN IDEAL GIFT FOR TWO CHILDREN!

My grandchildren just love this easel! Because it has two sides, two children can play with it at the same time...so no fighting! It keeps them quiet and happy for hours! As one side is for painting & the other side is a blackboard...they can just trade sides when they are ready for a change.
It would be nice if erasers came with this, but they were simple & inexpensive to find at an office supply store.
You need to buy your colored chalk, paper & paints, but some people already have this before they even buy the easel. Melissa & Doug do sell these accessories. Love the colored clips that fasten your pages to the easel board. All in all, a great gift at an affordable price! I was able to get a sale price of almost half off the store price through Amazon.com. The easel came within days! I am a very happy grandmother! Susan Allman-Carlo~~Boston

another 5 star review

We bought it for Christmas and it has been in daily use for the last 2 months. We just clip individual pieces of paper to each side instead of using the roll. Construction is solid enough, a little wobbly but acceptable. No problem putting it together from Amazon package version. My wife did it in 10 minutes.

Good One!

My 5yr old daughter loves to write and draw so we bought her this. She goes through notebooks like crazy. She uses this, but still likes her notebooks. I really thought she would use it more. We have yet to put the paper for painting on it, doesn't look hard to do though and so far we are enjoying the other features! I do think it is a good easel. We have only had it for a few months, but did have to move it due to being with family for Christmas. It survived the move! Seems durable, and I hope it is as we hope it lasts for her younger sisters!

great paper

Paper is good quality and best price I found online. We paint, use markers, crayons, chalk and other methods and the paper withstands it all well.

Melissa and Doug paper

Bought the grandkids the Melissa and Doug Easel and they adore it. The paper rolls are easy to use, last quite a while, and are a better quality for painting than cheaper rolls. We had less expensive paper originally and it got soggy quickly. Recommend this highly.

rolls of paper

Goes great w the melissa and doug easel. Make sure you order the 3 pk bundle when you order the easel because the kids go through the paper fast!

Rating :

Probably can find paper at a better price

Have been told that one can purchase a much larger roll of butcher type paper and use instead of these refills. If your children are anything like mine - they will go through these rolls of paper very quickly - better to go with the cheaper industrial size - you may want to check your local grocery store or Sam's.

Needs Improvement, but fun

The thread that came with this kit is horrible--it unravels, tangles easily. I can't imagine a child using it. When using the square looms, the most important step in the directions (pulling the cross threads tight) is in the hints section. I have had the round looms for several months and figure out patterns by trial-and-error then try to remember what I did; it is so much easier drawing them out on the grid that came with the squares. Is there anything like that for the round ones? The square looms work well with round cording--the patterns are much easier to discern. I use these bracelets as incentives for improved classroom behavior, recognition for a great job, excellence, and thank-yous.

This helps so much! My eight yr old can make cool bracelets with very little help from me. All the other kits required my almost constant assistance. With this i set up the looms and let her weave away and only assist when she doesn't remember where she stopped or wants to add beads etc.

Fun for Girls age 6+

My daughter received this kit for Christmas, and has really enjoyed making bracelets. The kits comes with a full rainbox of colors, and the instructions are easy to follow. The addition of beads makes things a little more messy and complicated, but the end result is worth it. A great gift for girls between the ages of 6-15.

A Fun Gift for the Grandchildren

This is a well made and well thought out product. Our granddaughters have a great time making bracelets.

Wonderful toy!

This is a really great bracelet-making kit. My 6 year old picked it up very quickly, and it makes some really amazing patterns (hearts, flowers, several variety of stripes and checkerboards). It takes about 5-10 minutes to get a new bracelet "set up" on the loom (that's the only somewhat hard part) but then once you get going on the weaving it's very quick and easy. My daughter had tried some other bracelet making kits (the kinds with only string and instructions) but she would forget where she was in the pattern, get knots in the string, etc. This kit makes it much easier for her make very intricate patterns. She loves it! Can't tell how durable it will be yet, but I think it will be fine. It's worth it to spend the money for the kit with 2 square looms and 2 round looms to get a wider variety of patterns.

Fun Quality Product

I bought this for my niece for Christmas and it was an immediate hit. I like the simple but useful packaging and the terrific price. My niece wasn't supposed to open the packaging on gifts until she got back home (to avoid messes at Grandma's house), but we found her hiding behind the tree coloring with her new stamp set! She's very happy with it, and the box it came with means she hasn't lost all of the pieces.

Melissa & Doug Friendship Stamp Set

Was extremely dissapointed with this product....Only two ink colors that were dry. No matter how hard my grand daughter pressed down, you could barely see the print. Pencil's were cheap & barely showed color.....It went in the garbage & I will never buy from this seller again.
