Even though many children hate school and homework, many come home and decide to play teacher. Still other children are visually oriented and love to create their own artwork. And, for the young entrepreneurs out there, giving presentations is likely to be a top form of entertainment. The Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel is ideal for all of these types of games.

Among other things, the chalk board comes with a tray that will accommodate all different color chalk to make a game of playing teacher all the more fun. The paper roller can deliver almost any length of paper. Irregardless of whether your child wants to create a finger paint banner, or some other type of artwork, this easel will make every project easier. Finally, few business executives can function without a dry erase board. If your son or daughter loves to work with graphs to explain why he/she needs a bigger allowance, this is bound to be the perfect toy.

For parents concerned about durability, the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel is an excellent purchase. The frame is made of wood, and designed so that the structure will not tip over. In addition, as your child gets taller, it is fairly easy to adjust the length of the easel legs.

While the easel is rated for ages 4 - 10, even older children may find themselves wanting to sit down with this easel and continue working with it. Today, the arts permeate almost every area of life. With a Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel, your child can occupy their play hours with everything from playing business executive to Renaissance artist.
