Art easel/table

DS hasn't showed much interest in coloring yet - someone gave him some of those "My First Crayola" crayons for his bday, but he just likes to hold them and doesn't get the coloring part yet.

However, I've been thinking about getting a little art table or easel for when he does like coloring/painting/etc. I have money from FIL to buy him a bday gift, and he doesn't need any more toys or clothes at the moment.

Do you have one for LO? And for those of you with older kids, how long do kids use these?

This is similar to the one I saw today: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Convertible-Art-Desk-And-Easel/8130750

    We have an easel that I originally bought for our goddaughter to use at our house.  I think it was $15 at Ikea.   I think the one you posted is great, I'm just not ready give my house over to yellow plastic furniture quite yet so I bought one that's natural wood colored :)

    I almost picked up one of the art desks similar to the one you linked last time I was at Costco, but changed my mind....I feel like we're running out of floor space for items that just sit.  I'm so happy to be finally packing up the exersaucer this weekend, I don't want to put something else in it's place!  I'm leaning towards one of the actual easels like PPs mentioned since they can fold flat and then I can slide it into a closet when not in use.  That said, I'll probably wait another year to get one like that for DD, because I think she's too little to use it just yet.

    Thanks, ladies. Sadly, we don't live near an Ikea.

    I think I've decided to wait and get an actual little table and chairs - that's what my brother has for my niece and it works really well for them.
