Does the paper just hang or can it be secured on the bottom? Is it difficult for a 3 1/2 year old to paint on this? Some of the other easels got bad reviews for painting. Thanks.

We tucked the paper back underneath the board and it worked great. My 2 year old got this tonight for Christmas from her Grammy and Pappy, and was in love. She played on it for about 3 hours tonight and did great! Fantastic product!

The paper just hangs from above from the roll. It is possible to release as much as you choose for each use. I just use a little tape to secure. No problem!

Nothing is missing. It's just an easel, so you need to buy supplies to use with it. But since it's double-sided, obviously two children can use it at the same and share the supplies (if you can get them to share!). Amazon has lots of interesting things you can buy to stimulate and add enjoyment while using the easel.

It is a great easel for the money. Very stable. I think it would be even more stable at a lower height. Using in a sitting position.

I have had the same section hanging in my background for quite some time & it was durable even in the wind. Are you using it as a background or will the parts be actually on the paper? If the parts are going to be on top of the paper I don't know if it will stand the duration of time as it would hanging in the background.

The board has small sockets in the back that allow it to hang off screws that have been screwed into the wall. I however do not know if it would be sturdy enough... we keep ours on the floor for our 17 mo to scribble on... I draw letters, numbers, pictures, etc. for game-time (pattern recognition, etc.).

My 3 year old does love it and has no problem putting together or taking projects apart. My 6 year old the same but she towers over the top of the back part so to play with it she has to bend over to do so although they both like to play with the pieces making things on the floor so no biggie. Once again hope this helps

Shawn, it was a bit difficult to get my things to hang at first. I find that slipping the paper in the opening then moving it slightly to one side helped. Once I "got the hang of it", it's become easier and I like the way it holds without my having to use push pins to hold paper as I have young grandchildren and wanted this to display their artwork. Hope this helps.

That's what my wall is. It isn't smooth really but it's not rough. It's slightly bumpy if that is any better at explaining. And well when you write on it wont have a smooth like paper line. But it's doable. My kids used it until it didn't stick to the wall anymore.

Its a little difficult. The art already on it is one big sticker. You will either have to have something printed with an adhesive backing or buy a plexi top.

No.. canvas only.. not framed or stretched.. nicely detailed painting.. depending on choice of frame... expect a couple hundred dollars expense prepping it to hang.. hope this helps

I've used other paint, but without the nice squeeze bottle it can make a mess. Might be worthwhile to get some empty squeeze bottles along with some Crayola paint. For other paper I just cut it the right size, doesn't really phase me to cut paper. I do it for a few other similar toys, in 5 minutes I can have a decent stack.

I used it to paint a plastic slide that has been out in the weather all year long. My grandchildren played on the slides again this weekend and I noticed that the paint had held up very nicely. However, there were some tiny places that the paint had come off but can easily be touched up.

Our easel doesn't wobble but we were concerned about the wood legs scratching our wood floors if our grandson leaned against the easel and moved it. I could not find rectangular rubber leg tips so I bought some vinyl bumpers and put two bumpers on each leg. Now the easel stays in place and will not scratch the floor.

it will be a little tall, but the child can still enjoy the lower half of both sides, and will soon grow into it! Wonderful easel. Takes a wee while to set up, but very sturdy.

Absolutely! If a child loves to paint and draw this is a very handy opportunity. A child that age would be able to organize the easel's compartments for his/her own needs. As young grade school children do not get much time for artwork in school, this is a definitely opportunity for creativity.

It is a sturdy cardboard, doubled for strength. I have colored art paper for grandchildren stored on it and it's held up for almost a year. However, the grandchildren are not visiting too often during the school year as they live out of town.

Yes, that's what we do. I attached a "lip" to the front at the bottom because the bottom would slide forward (and off the tray) while painting. A little lip at the bottom keeps the canvas in place. Go for it!
