Using this Hape Step - Up Bamboo Easel is super easy. First, assemble it following the included instructions. Once assembled, your child can choose between the blackboard, magnetic whiteboard, or paper side by flipping the board. They can use different drawing materials like chalk on the blackboard, magnets on the magnetic whiteboard, or crayons on the paper. When it comes to height adjustment, just loosen the adjustment mechanism and set it to the appropriate height for your child. For cleaning, use a damp cloth on the blackboard and whiteboard. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the surfaces. Keep the easel in a dry place to prevent the bamboo from warping. And always supervise young children while they are using the easel to ensure safety.
