Easels

Children painting together at a Play'n'Learn aluminium easel outdoors
Aluminium Easels · Made in NZ

Easels built for the playground, not just the classroom.

Use them inside the studio or out in the yard, and leave them outside overnight. Fully welded aluminium frames won’t rust, swell or warp, so they stay where the children paint.

From $645 + GST · 5-year warranty · Stocked in Melbourne, shipping Australia-wide
Designed for shared play

One easel. Two or three little artists. Side by side.

Group easels turn painting into a social activity, supporting turn-taking, conversation and cooperative art the way ELC educators want.

  • Two to three children share one easel, no need to buy separate stations
  • Clear acrylic panels let kids see each other’s work and learn through imitation
  • Built-in EnduraPanel paint-pot tray sits at child height for independent access
  • Children can paint directly on the acrylic, then wipe it clean, or clip on paper
2 to 3 kids

Indoors. Outdoors. Stay outside overnight. Won’t rust in rain · Won’t fade in UV · Won’t warp like timber
Why aluminium

The easel that earns its place outdoors.

Most preschool easels are timber. They swell, warp and need to come in every night. Aluminium doesn’t.

Leave them out overnight

Welded aluminium frame, powdercoated and UV-stable. No need to drag easels in at the end of the day, they live where the children paint, rain or shine.

Light to reposition

One teacher can move it between the deck, the yard or the studio.

Built for group play

Two or three children painting at the same easel, side by side.

Commercial-grade for ELCs

Scratch and UV-stable acrylic panels. Wipe clean between sessions.

The range

Three easels. One promise: they won’t rust.

Choose the format that fits your space and the way your children paint. All three share the same welded aluminium frame, EnduraPanel trays and clear acrylic panels.

Built to last

The frame outlives the timber easels you’ve replaced twice.

Timber easels go to the tip when the legs swell. Steel easels rust through where the paint chips. Aluminium does neither. That’s the whole point.

Won’t rust, won’t swell

Aluminium frame is fully welded and powdercoated. Acrylic panels are UV-stable. Leave them on the deck.

Replaceable panels

If a panel ever scratches beyond cleaning, swap it. The frame keeps going.

5-year warranty

Made in our Wellington factory and stocked in Melbourne. Backed for the long haul.
