Real talk
The easel that doesn't end up in landfill
Every family with young kids knows the cycle: bright plastic toy arrives, breaks in weeks, guilt sets in as it heads to the bin. We built this easel the opposite way. Solid wood frame, magnetic whiteboard on one side, chalkboard on the other, and it arrives ready to play,paint pots, chalk, wipers, all in the box.
Your living room gets fewer things, but better ones. And you get those quiet creative hours where they're actually focused on something real.
Joe Jaques, Jaques of London

While they play
What they quietly pick up while playing
Looks like play. Works like a lesson.
Colour mixing
Empty pots mean they blend and experiment. That's how they learn red and yellow make orange, without a worksheet in sight.
Fine motor control
Holding a brush or chalk, making intentional marks,small muscles get stronger each time they draw.
Self-expression
No right answer, no wrong way. They learn their ideas matter and they can make them real.
Focus time
Real creative play beats screen time. Kids who draw or paint stay absorbed longer and finish what they start.

Questions & answers
Questions parents actually ask
Is this the right easel for my child's age?
Yes, if they're between 3 and 7. The height works for the whole range,at 3 they'll reach the lower half comfortably, at 6 or 7 they'll use the full board. Buying for a 5th birthday? This is the one. It's also a favourite gift from grandparents because it works for multiple children at once.
What if they don't like it?
Send it back within 30 days for a full refund,no questions. Order by 31 January 2027 to keep that window open. We also offer Klarna so you can spread the cost across payments if that helps the decision.
How long will it actually last?
Solid wood, hand-finished frame doesn't splinter or warp. Families tell us they've played with theirs for 5+ years, then passed it on to cousins or siblings. It's worth every penny full price because the cost per year drops fast. That's the opposite of cheap plastic that costs nothing and lasts weeks.
What's included and what do I need to buy?
The box includes everything to start today: 3 paint pots, 1 pack of chalk, 2 wipers, and a pen. You'll add your own paints and marker pens over time, but the easel itself needs nothing else. It arrives with a protective film on both boards,peel that off before the first use.
How much does it cost?
The Kids Art Easel - Wooden Easel & Stand is £70.99 today (down from £91.99). Klarna is available at checkout if you prefer to spread the cost.
What's your returns policy?
30 days, full refund, no conditions. Return it for any reason and we refund in full. We've been standing behind what we make since 1795.

Our story
Making toys worth keeping since 1795.
Jaques of London was founded in 1795. We invented croquet, table tennis, and the Staunton chess set. For 230 years, we've been making things that pull children away from passive entertainment and into active, curious, hands-on play.
In 1795, our founders built toys for British children the way they built their own,to last. Nearly 231 years later, we still make fewer things better. This easel carries that same belief: solid wood that won't snap, boards that stay magnetic, and a frame steady enough for real play. It's not about the fanciest features or the cheapest price. It's about the one your child reaches for again, the one cousins still want to borrow, and the one you can put away knowing it'll be fine. That's what Jaques has always made.
Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
