Seeing your child create wonderful masterpieces and be lost in their creative world is rewarding, right? That’s the magic of a drawing easel—it turns everyday moments into colorful times.

But which easel can ignite the creativity in your child?

Don’t worry; with Little Partners®, you can choose one that suits your little artist.

Let’s look at different easels that can be your little artist’s partner in their creative moments.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Art Easel

Can’t find a suitable easel for your child? Here’s how to find the perfect one for your little artist.

  • Age matters. Keep it simple and small for younger kids, and go the extra mile with magnetic boards or paper rolls as they grow.
  • Safe and sturdy. Children often get hurt during playtime, and your easel can cause little accidents if they aren’t careful, so pick a children’s art easel with smooth edges, a solid small easel stand, and non-toxic materials to keep them safe.
  • Durability. Kids can be rough on their toys, including their easel—choose one that can last through all their mess and fun.
  • Easy to use. Excited children always like to get straight to the fun, so pick an easel that is easy to set up and use—and watch them draw their world.

These factors help you find a suitable easel for your child quickly.
