This Whiteboard Easel is a perfect place for kids to practice their artistic abilities without creating a mess. Unlike most drawing mediums like paints, crayons, and colored pencils, a dry-erase whiteboard can be erased easily, allowing kids to experiment and draw however they want without worrying about making mistakes. This makes it a much better learning tool for developing artists. However, if kids do want to try their hand at painting, there are convenient easel clips at the top which can be used to hold sheets of paper or canvas in place. These are also great for holding paintings up to dry. The bottom of the easel has a wide blue tray which can be used to hold markers, brushes, paints, and erasers at a comfortable height well within reach. The easel folds shut when not in use, making storage much easier.
