Where did you find your magnet board?

Target, but I use one that is smaller than recommended. It is crowded (you can fit a-z across the top, we had to wrap it to the next line), but it is working.

Hmm...I looked on their website, but didn't find anything I thought would work. I'll look again.

In the past I have seen a lot of people post that they get them from Walmart. I just live in the city and the closest one is an hour drive one way.

I'll check locally. They didn't show anything online that I thought was affordable or useful. Odd things like magnetic headboards????

I planned on going there today, but had a kink thrown in my day. Bug broke out in hives. Not sure what caused that, but I doubt we are headed out now.

I was at the one by me yesterday and they had one with a nice wood frame, for $16. It was 24"x35"

Exactly what I want. Inexpensive, yet nice! I look there. Thanks.

We got ours at Walmart for around $15 or $16. It was made by "the Board Dudes" & is 2' X 3'. Sometimes I find things at the stores that the bigger companies don't have on their websites, not sure why.

Just got back from Wally-World, and they had one for $14.96. So, I'll get dh's approval of a spot before buying it, but I think it should work! Thanks everyone for your input!

Have you considered magnetic paint? Then you just need a smooth piece of material... something like the coroplast can work for it, or a large picture frame with an strong insert. There are lots of creative options. If you have a school room, you could even tape off a section of the wall and paint that! Or in a main room if you will be painting it, simply put the magnetic paint under your color.
