A lot of people struggle trying to keep their kids engrossed in creative play.  Not because parents aren’t creative but they simply have simply forgotten how to encourage it in young children.  This has always been my problem, and despite all of my coloring book purchases and my large stake in the Crayola Corporation I can’t seem to get my kids interested in artistic activity.  The most creative things my kids do with crayons and markers is devise new ways to use them as weapons or figure out how to stuff them into electronic devices.

So, I got a couple of kids easels, and ever since my kids have been completely engrossed in a world of creativity and creation.  It’s affordable, good quality and both kids can use them at the same time.  The best part is that they are too big to fit in the DVD player!
