This is the perfect gift for any young child on any occasion – a combined easel and chalk board which is just the right height for the young artist in your life. Not every child will become an artist, but all children have a fascination with drawing and painting which persists through early childhood and which develops their ability to express themselves.

This easy-to-build unit allows the child to be at the right height relative to the work surface without the need to perch on a chair, and has the advantage of having the working surface inclined at the correct angle for drawing. A built-in shelf provides storage space for drawing and painting supplies such as brushes, paints, erasers etc.

The plans for this project detail all you need to know to build the easel, and come with a complete materials list, step-by-step instructions and illustrations.
