- Chunky chalk with round ends works best for toddlers who tend to hold chalk in a fist grip. At this age, playing with chalk is a tactile and whole-hand experience. The Art Easel provides a firmly anchored, toddler-sized chalkboard for them color and smear to their heart’s content!
- Chalk sticks with a pointed-end is best for preschoolers who are trying to draw realistically (flowers, houses) rather than just abstractly. At this age, they enjoy drawing and coloring alongside friends. The Art Easel has a dry-erase board and chalkboard providing twice the fun for two!
- Soft pastels, chalk with more pigment, is a good choice for Kindergartners and up who are better able to work around chalk’s challenges (tendency to break and smear). At this age, with more control and patience, they are ready for mixed-media projects such as chalk over dried watercolor. The Art Easel is the perfect creative outlet for the K+ set!
