Beka Adjustable Double-Sided Easel Combo #3, Magnetic and Chalkboard Surfaces, Top Paper Holder, Natural Wood Trays Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Everything you would want to write & draw is included (NOT erasers, paint or brush). I found a dry marker eraser easily but the chalk eraser was hiding at the third Office Depot that I went to. My 5yr old grandson loves the stick figures (of him) that I draw and leave for him to find. Soon he'll have the confidence of steady hands (that he's developing with video games) and he'll be tracing his ideas for me. This is a great investment product for young minds. Spend a little more now, and it lasts for a childhood of creative memories.

Quercetti Illumino Lighted Peg Art Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We gave this to my daughter on her 5th birthday. The idea is that you remove the "screen", and then place your completed masterpiece back onto the stand to display. Our 3 yo daughter also loves it. She is not an "oral" girl, so we have no concern about swallowing.
The construction is nice...no sharp edges, the pegs are well made, smooth, and good quality plastic. Doesn't feel cheap or cheesy in any way. My daughter has good tactile skills, so the small pieces are no problem for her. I think I read somewhere that the peg colors can vary. The six colors that came in her set were red, orange, yellow, green, blue and white. The red and orange are so close in color it is almost impossible to tell the difference until they are placed and the toy is lit...this is sometimes frustrating. There are 4 storage cups in the base; but with 6 colors, if you want to keep the colors separately, you need to combine two of the colors. We divide them as follows: yellow, blue and red, green and orange, white; this helps ease any color-confusion and frustration.
The design is sleek and modern. Per the previous comment regarding being made in China, I double-checked mine...mine was made in Italy.
It's become such a favorite in our home that every night, I (Mom) has to do a "surprise picture" to display for going-to-sleep. Oh yeah...there's a timer on the light, so it goes out after about 5 minutes, ensuring that it won't get left on, thereby wasting the batteries/light. We've done the whole alphabet -- uppercase letter, lowercase letter and a representative picture. We are now working on numbers 1 through 10, displaying the number, the word "one, two, etc.), how number looks on a domino, and groups of the number (5 groups of 3 pegs for the number 5, etc.)
We love ours. I wish we could find an adendum set of pegs to add the colors.
A few frustrations: 1) this is just a type-A picky mommy thing, the way the holes are grouped, you can't do perfect triangles, circles, etc....they look strange. It works best with wide-angled things and straight lines. 2) it is even a bit difficult for me to hang the screen onto the stand...it takes some finesse.

Melissa and Doug Deluxe Standing Easel & Companion Supply Set Bundle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have purchased many Melissa & Doug products for my grandchildren. This year, I ordered 2 of these easels: one shipped directly to an out-of-state granddaughter; the second for another granddaughter who would be at my house Christmas Day.
Grandpa and I began assembling the big "Santa-type" gifts Christmas Eve at 6:00 pm. We had completed 2 race track-train sets and table and chairs when Grandpa opened the easel box. We found no "hardware" and no clips in the box-this meant there would be "no assembly" tonight. Five grandchildren were expected Christmas morning and ALL five were to have a big gift under the tree!
I placed a call to the number at Melissa & Doug and left a message about the incomplete merchandise and my disappointment. Now I needed to find a store open to purchase a different "big" present for my granddaughter.
Granted, I should not have waited until the 11th hour to open and assemble. My past purchase history with Melissa & Doug have been flawless: their merchadise superior. I never expected anything less.
Christmas morning things were fine. "Santa" left a note on the unassembled box that an elf left the nuts and bolts and they would be mailed in 2 weeks. This was satisfactory to her.
Telephone communication began, and on Thursday January 10th, the package arrived. I opened it immediately and ALL the bolts, washers and screws were accounted for but not the "4 colorful clips". I called the Melissa & Doug store. I was not happy that the toy was still incomplete. The representative stated that the clips would be sent out. I remarked that my granddaughter would have to wait another 2 weeks for this Christmas gift and would I be compensated (I was thinking they could at least send an extra roll of paper for our trouble). I was told that "oh she can use it without the clips" and that it wasn't the fault of Melissa & Doug, but the vendor. She became very rude when I stated that the fault is with whomever forgot to pack the box with ALL parts.
This was the wrong attitude to take with a customer. I bought a new, deluxe set (not second-hand or as is) and I paid retail (not reduced, discount or clearance price). I paid, and I expect to get what I paid for when I receive the merchandise -not piece by piece, week by week. THIS WAS AN INCONVENIENCE-having to run around to buy a replacement gift on Christmas Eve, to make an excuse as to why the easel was not ready for her to take home, multiple phone calls had to be made and now I was told I had to wait again!
One mistake, I can overlook...but the second mistake accompanied with rudeness from the Melissa & Doug representative means it will be a cold day at the equator before I buy a product from this company again.

Orb Factory Magnetic Mosaics Kids Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My two children, 3 and 5, love these mosaics. It keeps them occupied for a long time, and they have something beautiful to show everyone when they're finished. I highly recommend it, especially if your child likes to figure things out (e.g. puzzles or mazes).
If you're giving this as a present, you'll want to plan ahead, for the following reasons: 1) The cubes do not come already separated; they are in one block for each color, with the foam already cut but the magnetic backing only perforated. It takes quite a bit of time to carefully break them apart (remember, it's 600 cubes!). 2) The foam cubes had an overwhelming smell of volatile chemicals when we opened the box. This is normal with foam, but you don't want your children breathing it in. Just break the cubes up, arrange them on some trays, and let them outgas for a week or so in a very warm room that no one uses very much. When the smell is almost unnoticeable, they're ready to use.
Also, you can't complete 2 mosaics at the same time with the cubes provided. (The set only comes with one magnetic board, but we had an extra one, and my children of course want to work on these together.) For the mosaics that don't completely fill the paper with cubes, they have been able to just use different colors in some spots, but with most of the designs, even this won't compensate. I am probably going to buy another set since they love these so much.
Also, there are downloads of new designs available on the manufacturer's web site; just click the "Downloads" link on the bottom right corner of the home page. There are currently only 3 designs for the Magnetic Mosaics Kids available, and they are on letter size paper (much smaller than the designs that come with the set). But my kids didn't seem to mind!
Again, I highly recommend this toy. It has great educational and aesthetic value.

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3 with this fantastic Mosaic Kit...literally! Perfect for the little artist in your life, your child will love making bright and colorful mosaics. It's so easy to do, too.

Have your little one match up the right color with its corresponding number and TA-DA, the bright foam tiles bring the mosaics to life to create a vibrant work of art. A wonderful and FUN tool for learning numbers. Great in the classroom or as a gift.

Imaginarium Deluxe Wooden Art Easel - Toys R Us Exclusive Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was by far the best gift my kids received this Christmas! I bought this for my boys ages 5 & 7 and they use it nearly every day. Assembly was easy and we have not had any problems with the quality of this easel as of yet. I will update my review if we have any problems. The opening for the paper is 21" so it can accommodate several sizes of paper rolls. WE did have one of the plastic clips broken when we opened the box.
I was very pleased with the quality of the chalk board, it writes well and erases well. They have not used the dry erase board much so I really don't have much to review on that.

(More customer reviews)My kids are having a ball with this table.
The paper rolls out smoothly and is well held in place by the bar at the end.
The one disappointment is in ease of clean up. For a children's art table I would think the top would be easier to clean. It really stains easily.

Doodle Pro Cars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Our 5-year-old son had a school bus magna doodle that he just used and abused. It was on its last legs so we put this on his birthday list and he got it. He loves the Lightning McQueen car and the tracing stencils. The frame is very solid. There's a post to keep the car on the board but I wish there had been some place to put the stencils too. They keep getting separated.
A good choice for kids who like doodle pros and Cars.

Kids On the Go Art Lap Desk Review

(More customer reviews)My 4 year old broke his arm just below the shoulder and had to have his entire arm wrapped to his chest for over a month. I got him this for preschool to hold his papers still so he could still color and write. The elastic corners were perfect and it worked great so he could still do things one-handed. It is also light weight so it doesn't weigh down his back pack.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel W/Accessories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What a great easel. I had contemplated purchasing the IKEA model easel for like $14, but it couldn't stand up to the quality offered by Melissa and Doug. The M&D has a blackboard, whiteboard, paints, crayons, chalk and paper! It even includes a plastic clear mat to place on the floor so it catches spills etc. The paint is completely washable - my daughter got some on our wood floors and it came right off, without a trace.
Putting the easel together though, was slightly difficult. My husband said the average homeowner would need a little more time reading the complicated directions to get the jist of how to put the easel together. It could have been illustrated better. And who has time for directions when you have two little kids jumping around you, waiting in anticipation for their easel to be set up :)
All in all, at the end of it all, a great product that will last years and years and years. Thanks for making quality, M&D
