My 3.5 year old son barely lifted a crayon until we bought this desk- now all of his art supplies are right in front of him in his playroom. He draws, uses stickers, paints and even does crafts at this desk now! We couldnt be happier- thanks Step2 for bringing out the budding artist in our son!

Comments about Step2 Art Master Activity Desk:

Our three year old and five year old love it! Combined with washable crayons and washable markers and you can't go wrong. Our only complaint is that there is not quite enough room to store all the kids coloring and art books. The obvious solution is just to buy another, of course.

Comments about Step2 Art Master Activity Desk:

This Activity Desk was purchased for my daughter for her second birthday and what a hit!!
The top shelf will not be able to be used until she is a bit taller but there is plenty of space and storage on the desk. And she will grow into it nicely.
It is fun, easy to clean and provides excellent storage for the Art Work and Supplies!
I would have liked the little stool to match the desk but that is a minor flaw.

Would definitely recommend

My 18month old daughter loves her desk and spends lots of time coloring and reading there. The only thing we don't like is that the stool is way too tall for her and we've had to use a different chair with it for now till she gets a bit bigger and taller.

Pleased with purchase.

Comments about Step2 Art Master Activity Desk:

I bought the previous model of this desk 8 years ago for my son because he loved to color and draw. Mine came with a chair instead of the stool. He loved this desk and spent hours coloring at it. Recently I gave it to my 3 year old twins to use and they love it. It's been in my home for 8 years and expect for the places he colored on and the stickers he put all over it, it looks brand new. This desk will last a long time, it's a great investment.

Comments about Step2 Art Master Activity Desk:

My oldest son loves arts and craft and we bought the desk for him. He set his desk up all by himself and sits and works on it everyday. He loves the fact that he has a light and loves the stool. He's pretty big for his age (5) but can still sit comfortable on the stool. The desk is durable and attractive. However, my son used washable markers on the top part of the desk and although it cleans, you have to really scrub it. All in all, it is an excellent desk for youngsters.

Kids love it!

This is a great product. My 3 year old loves it. It has so much storage, it keeps all her art supplies neat and organized. The size is great, she has ample room to do her projects, but it's not so huge it overwhelms the room. It is very well constructed and it cleans up easily. I am very glad I made this purchase.

My 4 year old daughter received this as a birthday present and LOVES it!!!! There is tons of storage space for coloring books, paint books, play-doh, markers, etc. She sits there all by herself and makes different art "projects". Best of all, it wipes clean easily after she is done, and it was easy to put together! She loves her "big girl" desk!

Comments about Step2 Art Master Activity Desk:

this is a great desk. i set up my basement with centers, and i used the other step 2 art desk as an art desk for both kids, and i set up this desk as a kind of discovery/science center. my 5 year old is into experiments and stuff like that. i love this desk, it has lots of room and it will grow with them, will probably serve as a homework desk for a few years. i love the compartment under the desktop, its like a secret and even better, the 1 year old doesnt get into it. i like this better than the double desk, more compartments, but the double is great for the 5 and 3 year olds to work together. all in all, a great desk.

Comments about Step2 Art Master Activity Desk:

This was a gift for our daughter for her birthday and it was by far the best thing that we have gotten her. She uses it everyday, its very handy for storage and easy to clean up. I would highly suggest this item to anyone looking for a desk. We looked on line for a while till we found this. We love the special slots and holes for all of the art supplies to go, I think it's a good way to teach the kids to be organized. Our daughter is 4 and loves it, not to mention that our son is 9 and would like something like it as well.

Great for my six and three year old.
