The Five Best Art Easels for Kids Under $100
Art Easels are a great place for kids – from toddlers to budding teens – to create their art. However, they will get messy and in some cases, kids will outgrow them – whether because of interest or height! So you don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars!
Here are some great art easels for kids that are under $100 but will still appeal to their artistic side!

Art Easel (KidKraft)
I’m adding the KidKraft Art Easel to the mix because despite the MSRP being above $100, you can often find it under $100 on Amazon. The espresso wood adds a sophisticated finish to an art easel that may appeal to the adults! The double-sided design features a dry-erase surface on one side and a chalkboard on the other. Art paper mounts on top of the easel and unrolls for seamless creativity. Easy-clean plastic trays and removable storage bins keep the artist’s supplies organized. This is a must-have for the little artists in your home.

Kids Dry Erase Board & Chalkboard Wooden Easel (Crayola)
This double-sided easel from Crayola features dry erase and chalkboard easel surfaces. A handy rollout dispenser lets kids create on paper as well. Storage on the shelf and in the pots helps keep art supplies organized, and the adjustable height allows the easel to grow as the kids do – up to age 8.

Art easels for kids are a great way to get them standing up and moving while they create art. It is also a great way for them to try different art mediums and to display their art.
How to Repurpose Art Easels
Even when kids outgrow the art easel, it can be used for other things – like welcome signs to a party. Put it at the entrance to your party space or at the front door welcoming guests or showcasing the birthday girl or boy. You can even clip balloons to the frame.
You can also use them for upscale yard sale signs! Or consider using them for candy announcements during Halloween or ways to inspire messages in the neighborhood! Paint the frame a preferred color, like a soft metallic, and leave it in your mudroom for daily announcements, reminders, shopping lists, and house schedules!
