There is no such thing as too young to express your artistic skills. In fact, I would even go as far to say that the younger you can get a child started, the better off they are going to be. Sure maybe there skills are not going to scream Rembrandt or Picasso, but giving your child the opportunity to express his or feelings on an art board can prove to be helpful in developing their mind through artistic creativity.
How Young?
The new Little Tikes Easel board was created specifically for…well, little tikes. Kids as young as 2 years old can now grab a paint brush and paint their own version of whatever they’d like. If you have more than one child, the easel itself is a two sided board so that two kids can work on their masterpieces and enjoy painting together at the same time.
I know what you are thinking. 2 year olds and paint inside your house sounds like a recipe for disaster. But there is no need to worry. The paint that you can purchase for your children to paint with is easily washable and will not stain the carpet, walls, ceiling, or wherever else your child can find to do his artistic work.
The Little Tikes Easel stands on its own just like a real easel so it makes it much easier for your kids to paint by standing up. It also folds up easily and can be stored away in small areas when it is not in use.
The easel comes included with chalk and eraser if you prefer your kids paint without paint. This way you can just wipe the easel clean once your children are done using it. Or as I mentioned earlier, you can also buy easel pads and washable paint. I would suggest sticking with the chalk for the younger ones, and then perhaps allowing your children over 4 to switch to real paint and real paper pads.
The Little Tikes Easel is safe for your kids and doesn’t have any small parts or protruding metal pieces. Its made entirely of plastic and stands just under 4 foot tall from top to bottom. The trays on the easel are easily removable so that you can clean them when your children are done.
