How to choose classroom art equipment

Plan the activity

Start with the media and techniques you need to support, such as painting, drawing, chalk, collage or mark making. Check whether tools, consumables and protective clothing need to be ordered separately.

Measure the space

Check available floor and wall space, doorway access and storage. Compare assembled dimensions for easels, cupboards, trolleys and drying racks before ordering.

Estimate capacity

For shared settings, consider class size and project format. Drying-rack shelf counts, paper sizes, tray capacity and storage compartments should suit the work your group produces.

Check care requirements

Cleaning and maintenance vary by material and product. Review the manufacturer’s instructions for painted surfaces, boards, fabrics, trays, brushes and mobile equipment.

Quick buying checklist

  • Measure the intended floor, wall and storage space.
  • Check paper size and shelf capacity for drying racks.
  • Review unit dimensions, weight and assembly requirements.
  • Confirm what accessories or consumables are included.
  • Check recommended ages and product-specific warnings.
  • Follow care, cleaning, fixing and mobility instructions.

Easels, paint and mark making

Browse children’s easels, children’s paint and mark-making resources. Compare working height, board type, included accessories, paint format and cleaning guidance.

Drying and storing artwork

Explore art drying racks and art storage. Consider artwork size, shelf quantity, ventilation, footprint and whether a wall-mounted, tabletop or mobile design best fits the room.

Wider classroom storage

For larger organisation projects, compare classroom storage and school storage trolleys. Check tray formats, access height, castors, brakes and assembly information on each listing.

What classroom art equipment do I need?

The right equipment depends on the activities, age group, class size and available space. Common requirements include easels or work surfaces, paint and mark-making tools, protective clothing, drying space and accessible storage.

How do I choose an art drying rack?

Check the largest paper size you use, the number and spacing of shelves, overall dimensions and whether you need a wall-mounted, tabletop or mobile rack. Follow the product’s loading and installation guidance.

What should I check when buying a children’s easel?

Compare the working height, board surfaces, footprint, stability, age guidance, included accessories and assembly requirements. Check whether the easel is intended for indoor or outdoor use.

Suitability varies. Check the individual product’s recommended age, dimensions, materials, warnings and intended setting before selecting it for nursery use.

Contents vary between products. Read the listing carefully to confirm whether paint, paper, brushes, trays, pots, fixings or storage containers are included or need to be purchased separately.

Use the manufacturer’s care instructions because cleaning methods vary by material. Remove spills promptly where directed, avoid unsuitable chemicals and inspect surfaces, fixings and castors regularly.
