I had this on order/hold for Natalie's birthday last 1/26 but can't get it now...with the purchase of a new rug (that's a whole other issue). I called the store today and they said that they can hold on to it or get the item back in stock for Jos' birthday in June. ~sigh~

P.S. - Kim I would love to hear your suggestions on other easel items. I wanted something to use with magnetic letters and numbers. Drawing on the white board would be great too, if and when the girls can manage ink markers reasonably (ie when mommy won't spaz about it - lol)...otherwise I can put paper up for crayons. :-)

Mia there are LOTS of easels out there that are in the $50 range, but I'm not sure if any of them can take magnetic letters. Is that the big part that you want? I have had several that were paper on one side and chalk on the other. I'm not really sure if they were white board or not, I'll have to look.

I'll send you some links.

Hi Kim, yes the magnetic thing is a big for me. And the one above is magnetic white board on both sides, so one side for Jos and the other for Nat.

Thanks for looking. You're always so helpful!

We are planning to do a wall in our playroom with the magnetic paint so they can play with the magnets on the wall. We thought about doing chalkboard paint too, but decided that we'd rather not teach them that it's ok to draw on the walls. There are a lot of really nice easels out there for 1/3 of the price. We have this one http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3170205 and I love that both girls can use it at the same time.
