Crayola Double Sided Wooden Easel vs Costway Double-Sided Kids Easel

Buy the Crayola if you want a ready-to-use easel with supplies in the box and a magnetic whiteboard for letters and numbers. Buy the Costway if storage and a paper roll matter more than included accessories. Both are plastic or MDF frames around a whiteboard and chalkboard, and both are aimed at ages 3 and up. Owners rate the Crayola well at 4.4 from about 800 ratings; the Costway leans on its bins, paint cups and paper roll rather than build quality.

• Choose the Crayola if you want an easel that works the moment it comes out of the box, with markers, chalk, an eraser, magnets and 77 magnetic letters included.
• Choose the Costway if you want a paper roll holder, paint cups and fabric bins so two kids can draw and paint side by side with supplies organized.
