Q Toys Toddler Wooden Perspex Easel

The Q Toys Toddler Perspex Easel is a sturdy and solid easel for your budding artist. It is the perfect height for toddlers and children to stand and create masterpieces over and over again. Handmade from sustainably sourced plantation timber, it also offers a smaller ecological footprint. Why an easel? As painter and arts educator Kate Mangold explains, “The point of an easel is to get a child standing up and moving their marks," i.e., the squiggles, lines, and dots they make with whatever drawing instrument or paint they’re using—and “to engage large motor skills like shoulder rotation and core strength.” Using an easel can help kids develop hand-eye coordination and “expressive language, as well as social-emotional and cognitive skills."  Note: The acrylic pane comes with a adhesive that will need to be manually removed. The easiest way to do this without damage to the acrylic is by applying some heat, such as with a hairdryer. Instructions: Turn your hairdryer to high heat and hold
