For true artists, creativity and inspiration never wait. Luckily for kid creatives, Melissa & Doug has a brand new travel-friendly arts & crafts toy that delivers creative fun anyplace they want to take it.
In this edition of our Living Playfully blog, we’re shining the Toy Spotlight on our new Take-Along Activity Easel, a sturdy wooden tabletop easel that’s double-sided, with a chalkboard on one side, and a dry-erase board on the other. Kids can draw, write, trace, match, and measure with vibrant liquid chalk markers in a rainbow of colors on the whiteboard/dry-erase board, on the chalkboard, and with the included activity cards and borders.
Our Take-Along Activity Easel features a handle for easy transport, a built-in clip and ruler, and non-slip feet, and comes with six liquid chalk markers, a felt eraser, four double-sided activity borders, and five double-sided tracing cards. All the accessories store inside for convenient cleanup so kids, parents & caregivers can take creativity on the go.
When kids engage in arts & crafts play, they’re practicing real-life skills that will help them in school and beyond. The Take-Along Activity Easel is a great way for kids to practice their creative expression, while also developing fine motor skills, and boosting cognitive skills such as numbers, letters, matching, and sorting.
If your child enjoys arts & crafts fun, consider gifting them our Take-Along Activity Easel for the upcoming holiday season. Scroll on to get all the playful details, as we fire up the Toy Spotlight and shine it on this take-anywhere arts & craft set!
Why Kids Will Love This On-the-Go Arts & Crafts Set
Playful Details: Take creative play on the go anytime with the Melissa & Doug Take-Along Activity Easel! This sturdy wooden tabletop easel is double-sided, with a chalkboard on one side and a dry-erase board on the other. Use the six included liquid chalk markers in a rainbow of colors on both surfaces, and the felt eraser so kids can draw again and again! Four double-sided activity borders and five double-sided tracing cards clip on to the easel and are great for matching, counting, practicing letters and numbers, and measuring with the built-in ruler. Rubber grippy feet keep the easel steady on any surface, and a child-safe integrated locking device is easy for kids to open but stays tightly closed, keeping all the accessories in one place–stored conveniently inside!
