Would these easels be sturdy enough for children to use in art class?

These easels are quite sturdy, and as long as the children are using them for drawing or painting boards, I think they should hold up nicely.

I believe so- we use them for handfuls of crayons. You could put pencils in also.

I don't think so. My daughter is also 8 and this is still a perfect size easel for her. The primary colors of the trays and the clips may make it seem slightly more "kiddie", but it's very sturdy and tall enough. I still paint/draw with my daughter on it :-). It's also survived a couple of moves. Hope that helps!

No I don't think they are sturdy enough. In fact, I would even view them as fragile for a 6 year old. I'm sure the pieces would come off and could be swallowed or be used to poke someone. It is a beautiful set and looks great in a dollhouse. I believe the quality is also very nice.

Yes, they are sturdy, but are not difficult to remove. This has provided hours of entertainment for my grandchildren.

I suppose they would be big enough for kindergarten age kids, as long as they sit still and don't move around. However, you would not be able to have solid edgings on each tile.

I don't know whether they would work. I suspect they would, but these are meant for fine art. You can probably find much cheaper pastel colored chalks in a store that sells crayons and other art materials for kids. Wal-Mart or Target for example.

The easel is for holding a stationary painting. I would think maybe writing on a white board that size might make it collapse or move around a little unless you permanently brace it with another board. Good luck. Sorry I couldn't give you a definitive answer, being a primary teacher myself.

I bought 2 of these for our twin grandsons. They were about a year and a half when I gave them to them so they didn't chew on them much. I think they would hold up some, but moisture would get in where you put the photos.

Yeah I would say so ... They are very light in weight and small in size ( meant for a small wall space) so it may feel cheap but they are nice pieces if u ask me. They will be hanging on the wall anyway. The art itself is very cool and accurate to photo online.

Depends on the size of the painting since the bolts move close together at the highest setting. Overall this easel is prabably too lightweight to paint against. It is very lightweight.

They are very sturdy. I use them in my preschool classroom with four year olds. I also leave them out at play time and they are holding up magnificently.

I know it is sturdy, but I use it for blankets.Perhaps, if you put some heavy cardboard on the bottom, then the supplies, with extra padding on the top,It might work. As to matted paintings, I would not want to risk it. I hope this helps, I am an artist myself.

These are pretty sturdy. I bought a set for my parents approx. 2 yrs ago. They still look brand new. You should be able to get a few years even if the kids are hard on them. These are Commercial Grade. Good luck.

They would easily be sturdy enough for third graders to sit on, perhaps even larger and heavier than them. Probably any weight up to about 45 or 50 pounds. I doubt if any of your third graders are that heavy. They are really first class, heavy duty crates. We are really pleased with them. We have very heavy items stored in them and they are holding up beautifully.

Probably. My toddler uses them everyday to pull her toys in and out and they have held up pretty well. They are deep so you could fit a lot of silverware in them. The fabric is somewhat thin so not sure if you need thick fabric with forks and knives, but I would think they would hold up.

I wouldn't use them for textbooks but for paperbacks they should be sturdy enough.
