can we color on both sides of the easel? the magnetic side of it too? using the appropriate crayons?

Yes! Chalkboard on one side. You can use washable crayons on the magnetic side. I use the white board cleaner on a white sock to clean the crayon off. (I used this in my classroom when I was teaching. You can buy it anywhere. It comes in a spray bottle.) It's a little hard for my 2 1/2 yr. old granddaughter to clean the board adequately. She isn't old enough to use the erase markers properly. But I love this easel.

Both sides have large clips that you can clip paper to. I wouldn't recommend drawing on the magnetic side without paper.

Yes you can the "Dry erase markers" are the ones for the magnetic board, and of course chalk on the other side.
1031771
Yes. On the magnetic side you can use dry erase crayons and dry erase markers. And don't forget you can put up a piece of paper on both sides.

Yes! The magnetic side requires dry erase markers or dry erase crayons/pencils. Plus both sides have a clip up top to hold regular paper.

No, one side is for painting (compressed wood board) and the other is a dry erase board. Well made, wish it was magnetic.

If you want mechanical colored pencils, try Crayola Twistables (not the crayons, they also have colored pencils).

Yes, you can use both. There is a blackboard on one side and you can use the dry erase marker on the other

Use good quality chalk. I believe our grandchildren use Crayola Chalk. No I do not work for the Crayola company

Yes, you could. I printed on them and then wrote with pen, but they're the same texture as regular labels (kind of like regular paper), so colored pencils would work fine.

I'll keep my eye open and let you all know. I tried using different crayola markers from color explosion and they don't work very well. So if you have those try it out until you get the refills. Has anyone out there tried other markers or know where to purchase the refills.....

the Avery template for these allows you to print on both sides. i remember using the template without too much difficulty.

It won't work if you want it to be a standing easel. The clips would collapse the boards. You could use strong magnets to hold the paper on to the white board, though.

one side only, but on 90% of sheets the grid lines are heavy enough to seem to be printed on both sides. Even on other 10% grid is easily usable on reverse side.

Sorry I can't help with that. They have several different colors to choose from. I would ask at the paint store if they can mix whatever you want. Must likely they can

Yes, you can use magnets on the whiteboard side, the chalkboard sue is not magnetic, there is a roll of paper you can pull down for crayons, painting etc. it's a very complete board but we found it to be very unsturdy and the legs on the whiteboard side have broken

Absolutely!! I let my kids draw on it all the time using crayons..works great.

I've never tried that but you would need to iron it to the pattern and then you could use something like thin fabric or interfacing to fuse the other side. This is like double stick tape. It allows you to fuse two surfaces together. Does that help?

I completely agree! I'm having the same problem. The desk seems to be somewhat concave so I thought that might be a problem (faulty/defective). It does seem impossible. My husband is procrastinating on putting the easel on so I'll see what I can do.

You can but it also is difficult Since you'll have to determine how much of the actually drawing space is work area. That and its harder on your nibs getting pencil lead or ink on the tip of it can mess them up. Best thing would be to scan the paper and import it to the drawing program.

Resolved--as in did Crayola create a better, improved version of the Doodle Magi Color Mat? I don't know. We did, however, keep the mat and just used regular dry erase markers. It works ok. But I wouldn't purchase it until you know for sure it has been improved or you will be terribly disappointed. The concept is great; I really hope Crayola fixes it.
