Our young artists love and use it often! Not only does it provide yet another creative outlet for them, but they can also explore and practice a variety of fine-motor activities such as painting, drawing, coloring, stamping, etc., specifically on a vertical surface. These activities in turn support the development of essential fine-motor skills such as hand-eye coordination, arm and hand strength, correct wrist posture, a variety of hand grasps, and crossing the midline. The easel is well-built, durable, of an appropriate height for our students, easy to clean, and it has become a classroom staple, so to speak. \r\n\r\nThank you once again for your contribution helping us purchase a classroom easel to offer our students different ways to hone their fine motor skills on a vertical surface.
