Your Beka Easel

Paper Holder

The top mounted paper holder keeps paper handy and out of the

way, even when folding the easel for storage. Slide the wood rod

through your paper roll, orient the roll so it unwinds from it’s top

and passes behind the paper cutter. Secure the rod with bolts,

washers and wing nuts. (optional - pull paper down and behind the

easel’s storage tray; use the bottom of the tray as a cutter.)

Paper Cutter

Pass paper under this wood strip to hold paper

flat against the easel’s art surface and provide a

child-safe way to remove and save art.

Art Surfaces (2)

Choose from chalkboard, dry-erase markerboard, and

washable magnetboard (which is designed primarily

for use with magnets, but serves as a dry-ease

markerboard or washable art surface).

*See care and use information on reverse side.

Storage Trays

Wood and Red Plastic storage trays are available.

Both are sturdy and large, with all the storage space you’ll need.

Natural wood trays complete an all maple easel, while plastic trays

provide a more washable option.

To attach trays, pass bolts through each tray, then through holes in

the easel’s legs, secure them with washers and wing nuts on the

inside surface of each leg.

Large Creative Art Areas

The generous size accommodates a wide age range.

The sturdy “A” - frame and low tray position lets toddlers

safely lean on the easel during use. As children grow,

the entire art surface becomes available,

as do the easels other features.

WARNING—ADULT ASSEMBLY REQUIRED!

Assembly hardware (wing nuts, washers, bolts) are small, so are a

potential safety hazard to children prior to being used to assemble

the easel.

Once assembled, an adult should check hardware

periodically for tightness.

Dispose of plastic bags, packing material and extra hardware to

avoid potential choking hazards.

Pinch Proof “Hinges”

A unique system using durable delrin pins as pivot points in-

stead of metal hinges provides space between legs, eliminat-

ing pinching or a scissors effect when the easel is closed.

Delrin’s strength and flexibility adds longevity to your easel.

Center Storage Platform

This large storage space doubles as a locking system that

keeps the easel from accidentally folding during “heavy use”.

Open the easel; position the platform so its notches rest on

the dowel opposite it’s pivot point. Attach a storage tray over

the notches to lock platform in place. To fold the easel, sim-

ply remove that storage tray (attach the tray to the easel after

folding it to avoid loosing any hardware).

Care and Use of Your Beka Easel Art Surfaces Chalkboard: The green chalkboard is shipped ready to use, but will perform best when “seasoned” before general use. To reduce “ghosting”, use the edge of a piece of white chalk to cover the entire surface with chalk dust. Remove excess dust with a dry cloth or chalkboard eraser. The resulting surface is said to be “seasoned”. Use chalk intended for chalkboards, as harder versions like sidewalk chalk can scratch the board’s surface.
