What ages is the Store & Go Easel for?

Hape rates it for ages 3 and up. The chalk and small accessories mean younger children should be supervised.

What comes in the box?

One chalkboard eraser, two magnetic whiteboard markers with eraser tops, 12 colored chalks and a chalk holder. Everything fits inside the folded easel.

How big is the drawing area?

The easel measures 13 x 13.8 x 1.8 inches overall, so each board is roughly the size of a large sheet of paper. It is a tabletop easel, not a floor model.

Does it stand on its own?

It is designed as a tabletop easel, so it rests on a table, lap or floor rather than standing on legs. The handle is for carrying it folded.

Can it be used in the car?

The flat folding shape and handle make it easy to bring along, but the boards need a steady surface. It works better on a lap tray or at a table than on a moving lap.

How does it compare with a full-size floor easel?

It gives up drawing space for portability. A floor easel offers a bigger canvas and a standing height; this one folds shut, stores its accessories and travels.
