Blackboard and painting easel
It was my little girl's second birthday today and I'd made this easel for her. I knew I was going to do this one day since before her birth.
It's nothing particularly special...just colorful and a heck of a lot of fun to use. One side is a blackboard and the other is for clipping big sheets of paper to for painting (when she's older and not likely to wear/drink all the paint). It was also an excuse to play with a pocket hole jig I've had sitting around for months. There is a brace in the middle, held with loose dowel rods, to stop it closing and crushing fingers if she manages to pull it over.
...and she loves it

No Way - It's SPECIAL thru & thru
No Way "RedShirtGuy"- It's SPECIAL thru & thru...A dad made it for his little girl to have hours of fun & imagination.
Well done.....great colours and the little one surely approves by her attention to play.
Cheers, crowie

I like the safety feature, little hands are tender and they have to last a long time.
I was able to get "roll-ends" from a newspaper printer. My kids could paint and draw/color
as much as they liked.
The opportunity for creativity is certainly there in a better easel than I could ever make.
