painting board

So far, so good. We bought the smaller board for my daughter's painting projects, to protect the tabletop. It seems to do the job. It is smooth and has no sharp edges. I'm looking forward to taking it on road trips for coloring projects in the car.

These boards are so multi-purpose in our home. My 3 year old has done many puzzles on them and we use them for painting outside and inside too. They are sturdy for block towers and great for play scene construction. Glad I bought them:)

looks nice but a little bit pricey for a sanded piece of plywood.

Highest quality.

Nice board and size large is big. I just wish solid wood

We purchased two of the large painting boards to use for wet-on-wet watercolor painting for our daughters. As another reviewer noted, it does seem a little pricey for a piece of wood, but the boards do a good job of holding the paper in place while the girls paint. The large would be too large to use as a lap board on the go (our girls are 3 and 5), but they can easily fit the paper, paint jars, and sponge. After the first use, they were very stained by the watercolor paint, but maybe it would have been a little more resistant to staining if we had treated it with a beeswax polish first.

I bought two of these boards when my children (now adults) were small. We have used them for a variety of purposes not just art!
