This is a great educational tool for children who are not writing well on paper yet. My three year old picked a piece of chalk and started writing her name and now even does well with paper.
I bought the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Easel Companion Set for my daughter's 3rd birthday and the Melissa & Doug Easel. I opened the paints and poured in all of the corresponding cups and she started painting and I started to smell thermaldahyde. The smell was horrible. This was the same smell of when I was in cadaver lab in college and I wore double gloves since it smelled so bad. I threw all of the paints away and the paintings into the outside garbage. I could still smell the thermaldahyde on the kitchen table where I put her painting after she was down. I washed the table with wood polish and kitchen cleaner and still smelled of thermaldahyde. I definitely would not recommend the paint from Melissa & Doug. The box says non ... Read More:

This product was shown (picture) and stated as "Easel Paper (3 pack bundle)" with a price. I ordered it with expectations of 3 rolls. I received one. I called the company and was told it was only one roll that I paid for. I protested saying what was stated "Easel Paper (3 pack bundle)" and price I paid. They mailed me the other two rolls. I Question, why is it being advertised as a 3 pack bundle with the price I paid if that is not true. The man I talked with said is was not 3 rolls, that it was only for 1 roll. I was very uncomfortable with this whole transaction even with the other two rolls being sent to me, with a reluctant attitude, without cost.
I ordered this paper to go with the Froggy easel, but it was the wrong size, so be careful when you order this. I was confused because it was featured with a statement that "people who purchased this easel also bought this item."
I bought this for my daughter's 5th birthday and she absolutely loves it! She usually has an attention span of only 10-15 minutes and moves on to the next toy, but she'll sit and paint for two hours! My 2 year old son likes the chalkboard side.
It is easy to assemble and easy to re-adjust the height for older or younger children. The frame is smooth, solid wood and very sturdy. The plastic trays and wing nuts are also good quality and seem like they will hold up well. I read some reviews before I bought it that the chalkboard was kind of hard to write on unless painted over with special chalkboard paint, but we haven't had any problems with that- the chalk that comes with it writes well and shows up clearly.
easel was a gift for a six year old girl. she loves it and uses it very often. helps with creativity. very well made and as the picture and description stated.

I bought this for my 3yr son this summer. I came here to shop for paper refills. I saw lots of other parents weren't able to easily find refills. I went to RoseArt website & got their number. Customer service sent me an order form. Seems Walmart was to carry refills but they are not in all their stores. 30ft roll costs $3.99 plus $3.50 s&h for EACH roll. A bit pricey but much better than nothing. Hope this helps the other parents looking. !

This paper pad works well with pencils, markers and crayons, but it is a little too thin for paints. We've tried finger paints, tempera and watercolors, but it just doesn't hold up well to any of them. I put individual sheets of paper on the easel for my 3 year old to use, but if I needed to readjust the painting while it was wet it often ripped (and if I waited to move it after it was dry, the paper always curled up).
If you are looking for a good sized pad of paper for drawing, this is a great product. However, if you need paper for your child to paint on, you'd be better off buying something else.

I researched many easels before purchasing this one. It includes a chalkboard, white board, and a paper roll at the top, which can be pulled down for drawing. I bought this for my twins' 3rd birthday. Now, they are 4-1/2 and they and their friends continue to get a lot of use out of this. The only problem is that I regularly have to tighten the screws to hold parts of the easel together. Also, the cups which hold paint are not really necessary and I would have preferred that there were not holes in the trays for the cups. Otherwise, I am very happy with this purchase.
