When Aaron turned 2 years old his parents got him an easel. He liked it and always wanted Morgan to have one. I found this one at the yard sale for $4. The other side is a dry erase marker board. Morgan already loves it.
I also found and Elmo doll. It was only a buck and since Morgan loves Elmo I bought it. He was very excited when I brought it home. It's not very cuddly, as there is a large battery pack inside it. I don't even know if it would work with fresh batteries.
I also got 8 books for Morgan and the game Catch Phrase. In all I spent $11. I'm a yard sale convert.

Good deals! We just bought Clara an easel for Christmas from Ikea. I thought we got a pretty good deal but yours was better! And I love catch phrase. You also got a better deal on that one.
You are doing the right thing to give him a creative outlet. Chalk, easels, crayons, clay, finger paint--the building blocks of childhood fun.
Cheap fun.
small word of advice: monitor the pencil, marker, crayon situation vigilantly or art will appear NOT on the easel.

Oh, the artwork has been appearing all over. Walls, bedspreads, books, (some from the library!)and the couch.
You know how when a dog does something bad you are supposed to rub their noses in the pittle or someething and shout "bad!"? Well, when Morgan took green ink to the bedspread made by the Nelson grandparents I pointed to the mark and said "naughty". Now he calls that mark naughty.
Yes yes yes, hurray for yard sales. We love bargain shopping lately. We are always doing yard sales and Savers etc. in search of good books or just anything of cheap worth. Hee hee, cheep worth...
