Easel Nika Kids: features and benefits

At the stage of preschool age, it is impossible to find such a kid who would not make regular attempts to draw on something, even despite the noticeable discontent of the parents. Perhaps in the future the child will resist attempts to draw regularly and under the dictation of the teacher, many will completely abandon their children's fascination, but now, at a very early stage of development, such an activity is small and exciting and very useful.

Fine motor skills and color perception, fantasy and perseverance - these are just some useful skills and abilities that the child acquires by drawing.

To speed up the acquisition of all these skills in full, as well as to save wallpapers and furniture not intended for such purposes, a special easel should be purchased for the kid, especially if the child gets the impression that the drawing will not be abandoned. If we talk about choosing a particular model, you should definitely pay attention to the products under the brand Nika Kids.

Children's easel Nika Kids, as befits a similar product, is in fact focused on broader developmental goals, rather than drawing alone. Moreover, great attention is paid to the manufacturer of the convenience of the baby, since the child is unlikely to make serious sacrifices in his own comfort, even for the greatest goals.

The first moment acutely disturbing parents is safety.. Easels of this brand, regardless of the model, do not incorporate any components capable of releasing toxic fumes into the environment. The main part of the design is made of a fairly light, but at the same time durable and reliable metal alloy, decorated with corners of safe plastic.

The design of each model without fail assumes the highest stability thanks to what the kid, being, as a rule, significantly lower than his easel, turns out to be simply unable to overturn the product. This ensures that the easel never falls on its master.

Although the name of such a product is designed solely for drawing, in fact it can be considered a full board for learning, which by its capabilities surpasses some school boards. Many models are two-sided: one of them is used as an ordinary board, available for drawing with crayons, while the second is made of metal in order to position magnetic letters and numbers on it.

If desired, you can also fasten classical art supplies, such as drawing paper, on an easel. A special pencil case located below the board is adapted for storage of any drawing accessories.

By the way, the side designed for using magnets is supposed to be used by the manufacturer to very active use: he himself specially completes many models with metal magnetic letters and numbers. Such an addition allows the kid to start learning to read and write little by little before he masters the mechanical side of the process. To speed up the mastering of the account, special accounts are also provided, located below, between the canister and the easel.

Naturally, it would be difficult to require the child to fully develop with the help of such an easel, if he had not anticipated comfortable use. The main problem of almost any children's furniture is that it usually does not know how to adapt to the constantly growing owner. However, Nika Kids easel is a pleasant exception to the rule, because its height can be adjusted from 75 to 110 centimeters.

One of these provisions is sure to be convenient not only for a child of preschool age, but also for a primary schoolchild who still has not abandoned drawing, having chosen him as his favorite occupation of his whole life. Such convenient height regulation prevents the occurrence of various diseases of the musculoskeletal system, primarily scoliosis.

As befits any self-respecting manufacturer, this brand offers a large assortment of easel models. However, in fairness it should be said that at first glance they are all almost the same - differences in colors are immediately apparent to the eyes. Moreover, the designation of names is usually an alphanumeric combination that is not very conducive to memorization, so the easiest way to focus on the characteristics.

The most popular model M2 in itself involves various modifications. Other designations, such as “Traffic Light” or “Ship,” are more concerned with colors, and to a lesser extent, certain design features.

It should be noted that traditionally easel Nika Kids - growing. This means that it allows you to adjust the height of the working surface as its small owner grows.

Parents are also accustomed to thinking that the easel of this company is always double-sided, but occasionally there is also a one-sided version. The first one, of course, is in priority, its second name is magnetic-marker, since the different sides of the board are designed to use the various means mentioned above for drawing and composing compositions.

At the same time, the board suggests fixing paper on it (the same magnetic letters and numbers from the kit are perfect for this), you can expand the range of drawing supplies by using watercolor with gouache. In order for everything you need to fit and always be at hand, you should choose models with a large canister - under such a description it fits all Nika Kids easels, but its dimensions are still slightly different.

If the easel is acquired with an orientation to the constant drawing with colors, it will be good to look for a model that is equipped with cup holders.

Most of the models of easels of this company involve the construction of accounts, but occasionally there are exceptions that do not contain such a bonus. On the one hand, an easel designed for artistic needs does not need such an addition, on the other hand, when it comes to children, parents would certainly want to make the most of developing furniture.

The materials used to make the Nika Kids easel are quite diverse - here you can find metal, plastic, magnet, and even laminated fiberboard. Such a variety allows the use of different creative and educational capabilities of the product, while leaving it quite light. Even fully packaged, such a purchase weighs no more than 5 kg, and at home its weight is altogether limited by a modest 2.5 kg, which allows you to freely transport such furniture around the house, even to take it with you.

Dimensions, in spite of seemingly large sizes in packed form, with proper packaging, also turn out to be quite compact - at least for transportation by private car. The height of the box is 78 cm, the width is 55, but the thickness is only 9 cm. Such a design will easily fit in the trunk.

The standard set of easels includes a large set of magnetic letters of the Russian alphabet, numbers, punctuation marks and even mosaics, which offers consumers another unusual drawing opportunity. It should be clarified that the kit does not include many components that would seem very logical for such an easel - for example, the same crayons for drawing or markers. However, to purchase them at any nearby store is not difficult.

Certain discrepancies arise when it comes to the age for which such easels are relevant. You can find opinions that the minimum age for use is both one and a half years, and as many as three. There are also indications of the maximum age - it is logical to use such easels for child development up to the age of six.

In this regard, the age of one and a half years seems too early to start (it’s not a fact that the kid will reach the board), but it’s not limited to six years if the child likes to paint and it will be convenient to continue using Nika Kids exclusively for artistic purposes.

At the same time, the use of such an easel as the main one for serious painting classes, even at a junior school age, is considered not the best move - and the tablet position adjustment is insufficient here, and the aesthetic effect of too childish accessory can repel a child from creativity.

To interest the kids, the manufacturer made sure that its products have a bright and attractive design. Most models assume a single color, for example, blue, orange or lilac.

Easels, produced by the Nika Kidsc brand, are by no means the only ones of their kind - even among Russian companies there are competitors who produce very similar products. In this regard, it is of paramount importance for parents to choose the right choice in favor of a particular brand, so that the money would not be wasted.

It should be noted that according to its main characteristics the Nika Kids easel can be called a great purchase, because All models have very thoughtful creative possibilities., allowing the child to master the techniques of drawing with different artistic means, simultaneously improving his mathematical abilities and learning to read.

Safety and convenience of this manufacturer are also at the level, and adults may not be afraid for their baby, because neither the structure’s fall from above nor the development of any diseases of the musculoskeletal system is threatened. Among other things the product is light and compact, thanks to which it can be used not only at home, but also at a party, and even in nature. The variety of colors only complements the list of advantages of such a purchase that can fit into absolutely any interior.

It would seem that with such a list of advantages there is no point in doubting - any thinking parents should immediately acquire such educational furniture for their child.However, not everything is so simple, because other manufacturers, including the main Russian competitor "DEMI", offer approximately similar properties of their products. In this situation, the parents have no choice but to compare prices and quality.

At first glance, the cost of Nika Kids products seems quite affordable - at least compared to foreign analogues, it remains only to find out the quality level of such a product.

Perhaps you should not be too categorical in criticizing this brand, but there are reviews that clearly indicate: the Nika Kids easel is still not the best thing you could buy for your own children. Some consumers who have experience buying such products mercilessly criticize it, pointing to the incompatibility of the average cost with a very mediocre quality.

First of all, the quality of that work surface, which is designed for drawing with crayons, causes complaints. The manufacturer himself does not include any specific “recommended for use” crayons in the package, but even soft varieties of chalk leave scratches on the surface of such a board. Obviously, any surface wears out over time, but critics say: negative phenomena are noticeable within a few days after purchase!

Moreover, there may be problems with the occurrence of the stains remaining after using the chalk - removing them with an ordinary sponge can be difficult.

A similar problem is observed with the other side - a whiteboard designed for the use of markers. Even water-based markers, which imply the simplest removal from any surface, wipe off such a board very badly, leaving numerous stains. You can wipe them off by increasing the pressure on the sponge, but this approach accelerates the damage of the board.which is literally wiped in places of particularly intense friction.

However, consumers themselves offer a solution to this problem, which consists in not using new, just purchased markers for drawing on such a board. On the other hand, it is not always convenient to acquire a marker in order to first paint it on paper for a long time before the child can draw it on a specially purchased easel.

Consumer disappointment is also caused by the lack of care on the part of the manufacturer who did not want to complete their products with the necessary drawing tools to at least set an example of which crayons or markers are suitable for the coating used. Moreover, although the kit includes magnetic letters, numbers and a mosaic, they are initially sold in the form of separate figures and magnets, and parents themselves must already insert magnetic cores inside the figures.

Although this procedure can not be called complicated, it still takes a lot of time, given the number of proposed components, while the manufacturer could use the machine method for such an assembly.

Buying any children's easel, be it Nika Kids or any other company, should be a reasonable step on the part of the parents. When choosing such an easel, you need to consider several important factors, including:

• How suitable is such a gift to the kid. Many parents at this moment urgently begin to look in the instructions for mentioning the recommended age, but it is worth thinking more about convenience. It must be remembered that the easel in no case should contribute to the development of diseases of the musculoskeletal system in the child, which means that the baby must grow at least to the minimum height of the easel (which is 75 centimeters) was convenient for him.

• Whether this easel is the best of its kind should be taken into account not so objective point of view, as the pursuit of their own subjective goals. As a rule, easels like Nika Kids are acquired by those parents who assume its full use, but none of the purchases for the child should have duplicate or unnecessary functions. In particular, if the baby already has abacus in one form or another, they may simply be unnecessary on the easel, in vain adding weight and cost to the product. When choosing Nika Kids, consumers should clearly understand why they preferred this option, rather than their counterparts.

• As mentioned above, most parents are satisfied as a result of making this purchase, but there are also those who are completely disappointed. It is possible that the damage of the new easel in a matter of days is the result of completely incorrectly chosen means for drawing, and then only the consumer is guilty. Parents will not be able to be sure in advance that nothing like this will happen to them. There are cases when the easel from Nika Kids irreversibly came into disrepair a few days after the purchase, so you should reserve yourself in advance with confidence in your own ability to properly exploit it.
