I would have posted in Around the House but I'm needing some quick help and hoping for more traffic here in the Lounge. Does anyone know of an easel that has a chalkboard on one side and a magnetic dry erase board on the other?

Thanks!

Ikea has an easel that is magnetic. I bought our easel a few years back, so not sure if this is still the case......hth

We have a step 2 easel that has a chalkboard on one side and a magnetic dry erase on the other. It's plastic and easy to clean. :thumbsup:

We have one from years back and it's magnetic. I thought I remember reading on here that the new ones are not magnetic anymore.

Aaarggghhh!!!!

You're right. We just bought one last weekend and I just NOW checked it.

The Ikea easels currently in stock are definitely NOT magnetic. I can't believe I have to drive back out there to return it.

What a bummer. :(

for a magnetic surface, we use the back of a door. Works well! (I know that's not what you are asking, but I found that finding a large drawing surface plus the magnetic quality were hard to come by.) Also, you can use magnetic paint to make your own area. I have some but have not used it yet.

The Learning Tower Easel is magnetic on both sides also. It does come with hardware for hanging on the wall, but just be aware that it is pretty heavy.

I bought one for DD ages ago from Target. It's the Battat Parents Mini Monet easel. I'm not sure if they still make it or not. It's a smaller table top easel, but is a magnetic chalkboard on one side and a magnetic dry erase board on the other side. So magnetic on both sides. DD still plays with it several times a week at just about 5 years old. It's been a wonderful toy.

:yeahthat: DD loves hers and uses both sides. She also has the letters and numbers to use on the dry erase side.
