Pros:
As a former educator I believe this easel and chalk board is a phenomenal investment in a child’s educational development. Kids especially smaller children will quickly adapt to interactive-classroom style learning (at-home). This board also helps to enhance children’s eagerness to get up and learn by reducing shyness. Recreating or establishing a classroom setting at home/daycare is just what kids need to engage them in learning more.
Cons:
At the time of this review, I paid $60+ for this board. While it is a really adorable product that will see plenty of use—that sticker price is (way too high) perhaps $30-$45 seems much more reasonable. For adults with multiple and different gender kids a lesser cost would make purchasing different colors more affordable (especially as a gift).
But again, because I understand the benefits of “at the board learning style” I made the invest and am very happy.
The board and sides wipe down easily however the tray holder is constructed from a material not like the rest of the frame. Thusly, if your little one happens to write on the tray with markers be ur warned—it will not wipe off (this applies only to the tray). You also want to ensure adult supervision while smaller kids are using this board to ensure marker and chalk usage remains safe.
Final Thoughts:
Get this! Your child will enjoy so much as they discover their inner genius. This board helps to bring their creativity to life!
