Art is all around us and when we look at a piece of art it resonates with us all in unique and very personal ways. When it comes to a child’s piece of art, whether it is simply an abstract display of random splashes of colour or is a more intricate design of proportion and perspective, each child’s piece of artwork is as unique and individual as they are.
Easels for kids are a fundamental piece of equipment for any primary school and nursery setting. Art easels for kids provide a vehicle for allowing children to express themselves, free from the constraints of more formal teaching.
A stroke of genius
Painting helps develop a child’s arm muscles, enhancing both their gross and fine motor skills as well as improving their hand to eye coordination. Easels for kids also support the development of other skills such as working collaboratively, learning to take turns to share the brushes and the paint. Children also learn how to engage in conversation, sharing their thoughts and ideas with each other. The pictures and drawings children create on an art easel enable teachers to understand and track how a child is developing emotionally, physically and cognitively. As children work with paint and begin to understand its properties, they learn how to move from a brush stroke that exhibits wild abandon to more controlled, refined movement.
Heart for Art
Our range of easels for kids come in a wide variety of sizes and materials and are both versatile and flexible, with a number being suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Our range of see thru art easels which can be used indoors or outside, come in a range of sizes including 3 sided easels, 4 sided easels and 6 sided easels as well as space saving and desk top easels. Each easel has a sturdy aluminium frame, stainless steel hardware and plastic coated wire trays to store paint pots and brushes. Designed to be wiped clean or hosed down after use, this range of easels can be folded together to save space.
We also have a range of robust wooden easels which include whiteboard and chalkboard surfaces along with storage trays for paints and crafts. This range features a double sided table top wooden easel, a 2 person easel, 4 person easel and even an attractive 2 person giraffe easel plus many more.
Our fence easels, both single hanging and double hanging are perfect for a spot of painting outdoors. Designed for hanging on a chain link fence, these easels are the perfect alternative to the more typical wooden or perspex easels. Complete with S hooks and clips to secure paper in place, plus trays and base extenders to hold the easel away from the fence.
Our 5 station art easel and fusion art station are perfect for children’s group art play. By painting and drawing in close proximity to each other, children are able to bounce ideas off each other helping nurture imagination and creativity!
And finally within this range is our easel with dryer – A perfect combination of art easel and drying rack for group activity.
Whichever art easel for kids you choose, you will be encouraging children of all ages and abilities to have fun in an educational yet carefree and expressive way.
