Hope loves getting creative but often this means that there is plenty of mess created. when I saw this mini easel from Crayola I became really interested as it appears to be a mess free way of children expressing their creative sides. I had great ideas for it, thought it would entertain Hope for hours on end and help me to crack on with some work whilst she explored her creative side with this exciting looking gadget. === What does it look like? === This easel looks like a little plastic easel, the picture Dooyoo has provided is very good and accurate. It stands upright and you can adjust how upright it is and also close it so it can be carried around ...  Read the complete review

My First Easel is a toy from the Crayola Beginnings range. The range is designed to "help develop toddler's motor skills and self-expression" and is aimed at 1-4 year olds. I first saw the easel in a magazine a few weeks before christmas and thought it looked quite good. When a family remember asked what my daughter would like for christmas I prompty pointed the easel out to them. My daughter was 20 months at the time and My First Easel is recommended for children 18 months and over. Our easel was brought from Boots for £15.00 but was also available at Toys R Us, Amazon.co.uk, Woolworths, John Lewis, Debenhams and Tesco Direct, ...  Read the complete review

I normally have great faith in the Crayola brand, their products are usually really good quality and they have a great range of different product ranges aimed at trying to ignite the create spark in your little ones. I always buy Crayola felt pens, as they seem to be the only ones that last for any length of time at all and I used their crayons when I was a child. I was therefore thrilled when my daughter recieved the Crayola Beginnings My First Easel as a Christmas present from a friend of mine. From looking at the box it looked like a great toy and I was sure she would get loads of fun from playing with it. I got the easel out from the box and ...  Read the complete review

I was really excited last Christmas when I found the Crayola Beginnings My First Easel on the Amazon website for the bargain price of £11.99. I had been searching for some kind of easel for her for a while, but because she was still little I didn't think that upright ones were such a good idea until she was a bit bigger. The easel is a table top easel and comes with four different activities and two ways of displaying the easel. It all sounded too good to be true, and from a trusted make such as Crayola I really couldn't go wrong. When the easel arrived I had a quick look at it before putting it away for Christmas. I remember when my daughter opened the ...  Read the complete review

My first easel was created for crayola beginnings. I was very excited for my daughter when she recieved this for her 2nd birthday. Being a Crayola product i believe it would be a quality product. But was was soon to find out this was not the case. Being only £14.99 it looked like a great product for the price. I am very dissapointed with it. The easel itself was packaged very well so there was no chance of it getting damaged. We set the easel up, and it was looking sturdy and a good toy for my daughter. First she started to use the gel pad which you can use the shapes from the shape sorter to inprint on the gel pad. You get three shapes, a circle, a triangle and a ...  Read the complete review
