Easel in a child's hands
A height adjustable easel with a board on each side, so two children work at once without either of them being the one waiting. That is most of its value: painting is a long activity, and a single-sided easel turns a class of twenty into a queue. Paper is held with clamps or tape, and a canvas can rest on the tray instead. Height adjustment means the same easel serves a three year old and a six year old in the same room. Plywood with metal hardware, 55 x 59 x 142 cm.
Fine Motor Development
Standing work position strengthens core muscles while promoting proper pencil grip and controlled arm movements essential for writing preparation.
Social Collaboration
Double-sided design encourages parallel play and collaborative projects, fostering communication skills and creative exchange between peers.
Creative Expression
Large work surfaces invite expansive artistic exploration, supporting children's natural desire to express ideas through drawing and mark-making.
Organization Skills
Integrated storage tray teaches material care and workspace management, reinforcing the Montessori cycle of work preparation and cleanup.
How to present it
Position the easel in an area with good natural light and enough space for children to move freely on both sides. Adjust height so the board's center aligns with children's chest level. Stock the storage tray with appropriate materials: chalk, erasers, paper clips for securing paper.
- 1Demonstrate how to clip paper to the board, starting at top corners and smoothing downward
- 2Show proper stance: feet hip-width apart, standing arm's length from the board
- 3Model large arm movements for drawing, emphasizing shoulder-initiated strokes
- 4Practice returning materials to the storage tray after each use
3 tips for parents
- Secure easel against a wall at home if space is limited, using just one board surface
- Start with large paper and chunky chalk to build confidence before smaller materials
- Display completed work at child's eye level to encourage reflection and discussion
