Description
This wooden tabletop easel set gives children a blackboard on one side and a whiteboard on the other, held in an A-frame hinged at the top so it stands on a table or desk. It comes with a sheet of magnetic letters, numbers and shapes: the full alphabet from A to Z, numbers from 0 to 20, maths symbols for adding, taking away, multiplying, dividing and comparing, a question mark and a set of colourful tangram pieces. Sticks of chalk in a little box, an eraser and a whiteboard pen complete the set. The easel stands 32cm tall, 26.5cm wide and 23cm deep, and weighs 0.728KG.
Because it sits on a tabletop, it suits a kitchen table, a playroom desk or a corner of a child's bedroom, and it is easy to bring out for a rainy afternoon and tidy away afterwards. Children can draw pictures in chalk on the blackboard, practise their letters with the pen on the whiteboard, or spell out names and sums with the magnetic pieces. The tangram shapes add a puzzle to the mix, fitting together into pictures and patterns. It makes a thoughtful present for a child who loves to draw, write or play at being the teacher, and a cheerful start to a home learning corner.
The frame is wood with metal and plastic parts, and the letters, numbers and shapes are paperboard and plastic with magnets. The eraser is foam with a felt face, and the pen is plastic with a felt tip. For care, wipe the wooden frame with a damp cloth and dry it, clean the whiteboard with a soft dry cloth, and brush chalk dust from the blackboard with the eraser. Set the easel on a level table where small artists can reach both sides, and keep the magnetic pieces, chalk and pen together between sessions so the alphabet is there next time.
