Aliens in our house!

April 21st, 2011

We have an easel with whiteboard set up in our kitchen. For the two years we’ve had it, it’s been an invaluable educational and social tool! We use it to explain things when helping out with homework, for playing Pictionary and just for fun! As Mrs ToysOnline is French, we’re a bilingual family, so the easel is also invaluable when it comes to teaching language, where daddy is usually the main beneficiary of its benefits. Have you any idea how humiliating it is to be taught stuff by a 4 year old?

Anyway, yesterday I thought it would be great fun if everyone drew an alien. There’s 4 of us in our family; mum, dad, big sis and little sis! Can you guess whose is whose? Looking at our aliens, I think each one is very consistent with our personalities, they eash say a lot about their respective creators.

Our easel is from the French toy company Janod. It’s height adjustable, has a paper roll holder, blackboard and white board and comes with paper and loads of accessories. You can get this Janod easel here.
