DS is about to turn two and my mother really wants to get him an easel. If your child has an easel, which one did you buy/get as a gift? My mother is looking at the Alex easel which retails (without art supplies) for about $80. Something in me cringes at that number--maybe the part of me that saw one at IKEA for $20? Is the Alex that much better? Is it a better deal to get the $100 version with the paper, paint, markers and chalk?
TIA for your input!
