My boys love crafts. They love writing, chalkboards, and markers too! The Step 2 Double Easel that their Nanny got the oldest one a couple years back is  perfect for them to use and play together with. It sits right beside my desk. The Step 2 double easel is also very sturdy and of good quality since we have had it for almost 4 years and it is as good as new. I’m thinking this easel will last through 1 or 2 more kids. At only $39.00 it’s a great deal if you have kids that adore arts & crafts time like mine.
