A few Christmases ago the kids got an easel. I can say it did not get nearly enough love when it was down in the playroom. I actually really disliked it in the play room. The chalk would get scattered all over and ground in the carpet or the lids would get left off the dry eraser markers and that would be their demise. It just didn't work. When we did our house shuffle we ran out of room in the girls' room and there was no way Titus was getting something he could use to mark on the walls with in his room. So I decided to bring it into our kitchen. (We had previously tried having the kids' little kitchen in my kitchen but it wasn't working out well either so I moved it down to the girls' room.)
I can officially say the easel has found a wonderful new home! The kids love drawing on it when I am cooking. Grace practices words. They draw. I occasionally leave Grace surprise notes while she is at school which she loves to see if she can read. Did I mention the draw for hours? Its wonderful. We also got some dry erase crayons which we are REALLY loving. (no lids to worry about!)
I LOVE when something old becomes new and wonderful again. This toy was in the danger zone of ending up in our next yard sale and now its our new favorite!

This happened to us recently too! I brought their kitchen down from upstairs to take a pic and put it on craigslist and now that it's down in the living room (where we don't have room for it!) they play with it all the time!
Love reorganizing! Now I want an easel :) haha
