Enjoying Ikea’s Easel

Posted on January 3, 2011 by Angeline
A couple of months ago we bought an easel from Ikea for Alicia as she started to show a keen interest in drawing. 
The easel comes with a whiteboard (unfortunately it’s non-magnetic!) and a blackboard and there’s only one tray – which we found to be insufficient for two boards since the tray can only be attached to either board. We improvised by buying a cutlery holder (yes, from Ikea too!) and attaching it to the side of the easel where the whiteboard is to hold the whiteboard markers. 🙂
It’s a wonderful investment since it can be used for a long long time!!! haha…

Just look at that smile! 🙂

and that intense concentration

so happy that she takes so much pride in holding her marker correctly before she starts drawing

Build a letter (lower case)

This was done sooo long ago but I thought I should still put it up on my blog. 🙂
This activity was made possible by downloading and printing the template for building the lower case alphabets.
