How easily does this clean up? My 2 year old daughter isn't so accurate with crayons and colored pencils and I wouldn't want the table stained...

My granddaughter is two and loves to colour. She also plays HARD for such a tiny child. The table seems strong and stable and still looks like new after half a year of tough treatment. My daughter in law also uses the magic eraser and it cleans up perfectly.

We had pencil and crayon, one mr clean magic eraser and it is completely gone.

This easel is really well made and it hasn't stained for us. My daughter will write on it and we can leave it and come back later and wipe it clean with no stains. She got this easel Christmas 2012. I would recommend this easel. I hope this helps.

My kids used them a few times and they spread paint all over the paint cups and the cup holder on the easel and days after it dried I washed it and it came right off. They haven't gotten their clothes stained with that paint yet but I'm pretty sure it will wash off.

Yes it should be fine. My daughter is 6 but she shares with her baby brother who is about to turn two. You just have to keep an eye on them so they don't put stuff in their mouths or color on the walls or furniture, of course. But it is suitable for them to color with it and they enjoy it.

I use something called Magic Eraser (Mr Clean), the crayon came right off walls and kitchen surfaces.

We have had our table for about 5 months and have not had any chips to either the chairs or table. We have had spills, dirt, crayon, and marker on it, but it has cleaned off with a moist towel or Lysol wipe. Our set still looks nice and I still love it. Our 3 year old daughter uses it, and as a girl, she is not as hard on it as some boys can be.

My granddaughter has snacked, colored, painted and used markers at this table...It's had lots of toddler activity that has included spills. We haven't had any issues with the finish, it wipes up nicely and no water stains Purchased as a 1st birthday gift and while other gifts have been outgrown or broken...She still uses this everyday... WE LOVE IT and so does she---Sometimes mom & dad also have to have dinner at this little table :) yep--it is sturdy enough

Marble is a naturally porus material, so it's just NOT stain resistant. Unfortunately, this table DOES take oil or hot/cold stains easily. Just try to wipe it up asap, and then if it's a colored or oil stain, I've found that squirting a small puddle of WINDEX on the stain and letting it sit for a while and then BLOTTING it up usually works. For stubborn stains, leave it longer, and repeat. And also stains will sink further down into the marble and fade as time goes on. It's a fancy dining table, so not good for kids or projects, unless you cover it up to protect the marble. Aside from that, it's an awesome table with a BEAUTIFUL natural surface, and I am extremely happy with it. Marble is a naturally porus material, so it's just NOT stain resistant.

no this version is not "washable" but should you child use them on your walls I have found the magic eraser works wonders on removing crayon marks from walls and toys ad tables the dollar store brand "magic eraser" works good

No easily I have found it to hold its color well and clean up is very easy. I imagine you may have that problem if you let it soak for along time or put it away damp but I have mine for about 6 months and I love it. I have recommended this to friends of mine and would recommend it to anyone.

My kids broke off a crayon in it. I could not remove the crayon piece so I put a pencil in there to sharpen to try and drive the crayon out. It took a while, and I kept cleaning the blades off, but it works again. The sharp pencil indicator light stopped working for several pencils after the crayon also.

It really depends on the child. My 4 year old daughter has done fine with this size crayon. My 3 year old son doesn't have an issue except that he doesn't push down on the paper hard enough and therfore barely leaves a mark. You could always buy these and give them a try and if they don't work for you yet, just set them aside for when your child is ready for them.

I happen to find one that was the perfect size at a garage sale. I only use it around Christmas (it's Christmas green) for our "fancy" tea parties. The table really does clean up well and I don't see a great need for a table cloth to keep it new longer. Knowing my children, they would pull the table cloth off while they were eating, and I would have a bigger mess on my hands!!

We haven't had any problems with it. I wipe the chalk off with a damp paper towel. The eraser kind of smears it.

I've found that 2 kids can color or do crafts comfortably. And 4 kids can eat comfortably. When extra stuff is needed on the table like crayons other toys and open coloring books, or glue and glitter, 2 kids work comfortably.

In my experience, these come off of hard surfaces (table tops, painted drywall, linoleum, finished hardwood, etc.) completely with some scrubbing. Essentially all crayons are pretty colored wax, so they won't bleed onto clothes or furniture or things like that unless intentionally colored upon--which is usually avoided because it isn't as easy or as satisfying as coloring on paper or a hard surface. Keep in mind that these won't wash off of unfinished (not painted or sealed) wood surfaces very well.

Yes, watch child's hands so they don't get pinched. It goes under my kitchen table perfectly. Cleans up well.
