They are made from \u003cspan\u003eRed Cedar\u003c\/span\u003e, fold flat for storage, and come with paper rolls and paint cups designed for a kitchen table or playroom. The ONP Double Sided Art Easel is built for outside. The frame is Western Red Cedar - the same rot-resistant, weather-stable material used across the full ONP outdoor range - and at 48\"H x 27\"W and approximately 30 lb, it stands firmly in a backyard, a childcare outdoor classroom, or a preschool garden through every season without needing to be brought in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOne side is a chalkboard. The other is a whiteboard with a plexiglass panel. Two children can work simultaneously, facing each other from opposite sides, each with a completely different surface and a completely different medium. We carry this across North America because that two-child format - one on chalk, one on markers, both creating at the same time - is one of the most consistently engaging outdoor creative stations we have seen in early years settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eKey Features of the ONP Double Sided Art Easel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eChalkboard on One Side\u003c\/em\u003e - A full chalkboard surface that children can draw, write, and mark on with chalk, then wipe clean and start again;
