Instead of Easter baskets this year, we picked up these easels from Amazon and some drawing pencils. DH and I got one as well. 🙂 Everyone is really enjoying them, and we liked that they are portable for nature study. I was suprised how easy it is to draw on…I had previously only used the ones that sit straight up and down…these are adjustable so it is easier to use. We can also fit them around the school table for art lessons. I thought I would share if anyone is looking for something similar…it seemed like a reasonable price. It is a lightweight wood, but that makes it easy for the younger ones to carry around. http://www.amazon.com/Marquis-Artists-Desk-Easel-13-1/dp/B002Y6CWCM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429401025&sr=8-1&keywords=desk+easel
This is GREAT! We just started a new art series and have been having trouble going back and forth from our online session to our drawing/art pages. Thanks for the pass along!
