Looking for something that R can use to paint & color, and I would like it to have a chalkboard as well as some even just basic storage for crayons, markers, etc.
If you don't want to spend a fortune I HIGHLY recommend the easel from IKEA. It was $19.99 and its awesome. It can fold flat to be slid behind or under something for storage. It has a dry erase board on one side and a chalk board on the other side as well as a spindle for one of those big rolls of paper (which IKEA also sells for cheap). There is a little shelf on the front for crayons, etc. DD loves hers and I didn't have to break the bank on it.
We have this desk and love it so far- DS uses it EVERY day.
The desktop flips up to become an easel, with a clip and its a white board. No chalkboard. It has SIX little bins for crayons, supplies, etc. The stool is easy for DS to sit himself on. I found it at Target for cheaper than this.
I haven't tried painting on the desk though. I don't trust DS to paint anywhere but strapped into his booster seat, pulled up to the dining room table. I would be afraid of paint on the walls, on the furniture, etc..
