The basic construction of this easel is simple: Hinged, square-cut boards make up the legs, while cross braces and side brackets hold it together. All the materials to make it can be found at a home center and a home goods or stationery store. But since the easel is made from a hardwood, parents will need to do the cutting and drilling. Kids can help out by measuring and marking the parts
and, if they are comfortable holding a drill, by driving the screws into pilot holes.
