HOT!! Step2 Pink Easel for Two for just $32.88 shipped (orig. $69.99)!

Wow!! You can get this Step2 Pink Easel for Two for just $32.88 (orig. $69.99)! Shipping is free!
This toy has great reviews.
See what one reviewer had to say:
This is an awesome easel, a must for your home or childcare (if you have the budget for one). I purchased this more than 6 years ago (in red) for my in-home childcare and it's still in perfect condition, no scratches, stains, or problems! The set back then came with plastic magnetic letters, so I was happy to see they are now foam ones when I purchased this for our church preschool. I have it in our art center and the kids are free to do what they want with it: chalk and painting on one side, dry erase crayons, dry erase markers and painting on the other. We put the magnets onto our large activity bus since it already had magnets, thus giving them more room for creativity on the easel. It is so versatile and much sturdier than the incredibly expensive 2 or 3-sided ones you buy from school supply stores. Each side has nifty storage areas for the art materials, more than they need, which is nice. Even paint cups fit perfectly on the little shelves. The area in the middle of the easel is an awesome bonus as it stores the easel paper and paintbrushes (I usually have the filled paintbrushes available to the kids and occasionally put out paint cups). The easel is impossible for the kids to fold up, so no worries about pinched fingers. 
As for ages, this is appropriate for ages 1+. The only reason it's labeled as 3+ is because of the foam magnets. Otherwise, there is nothing preventing your toddler from playing with this, as all of my kids have been playing with it since they were 10 months old and my 7-year olds have loved it, too! Step 2 makes wonderful, American-made products that withstand the use and abuse of the children who love playing with them. You can feel confident that this easel will last as long as you want it to.

Product Features

  • Includes 77 foam magnetic letters, numbers and signs to use on the magnetic surface

I would consider buying this easel along with the Melissa & Doug Easel Companion Set Bundle which is on sale as well.
