I love the preschool Bunny girl goes to as the teachers make learning so much fun. They've created a warm environment that has dug deep into Bunny girl's being and have encouraged her to blossom and grow in areas, gifts and talents that God has blessed her with.

I love seeing her being creative on paper, in art, with her words and thoughts. Creativity is something that has to be nurtured and encouraged and there is one store that I've featured on my blog once earlier (Featured Post), that carries great aids and tools to help do just that.....Gummy Lump.


Gummy Lump has a wonderful collection of toys for kids of all ages. I especially love their huge collection of Melissa & Doug products. I personally think Melissa & Doug have some great educational toys and I was thrilled to learn that my little artist would be receiving this gorgeous, solid wood Melissa & Doug standing floor easel to review.


Now don't be fooled, this is not one of those flimsy easels but this standing floor easel is made of solid wood and yes, heavy!

Assembly was easy as the instructions were straight forward. (If I could set this up anyone can!)


The easel measures 25" x 25" x 45" in dimension and can be adjusted upto three heights, literally allowing your child to grow with it!

It comes with 4 large colorful paper clips, a large paint tray with 4 cup holders


and 2 segment compartments on the sides, a large storage tray, a paper roller holder and a paper cutting edge on top of the easel to tear sheets of paper off the roll.


The easel is tri-functional with a chalkboard on one side,


a dry erase board on the other side and the ability to load paper on the roller and use the dry erase board side to paint.


This is a great product especially if your child is into art (Like my Bunny girl) and though it stands large, it can be folded and stored away when not in use.

Note: This does not come with chalk, dry erase markers or even a small roll of paper, which I personally thought would have been a good idea to include.
