The 4-sided design includes magnetic dry-erase, chalkboard, and paper roll, the height-adjustable frame accommodates 3-12 year olds, the wooden construction is dramatically more durable than plastic alternatives, the integrated paper roll holder enables continuous drawing, and the kid-safe paint colors are non-toxic.
