Melissa & Doug Magnetic Chalkboard & Dry-Erase Board with 36 Magnets

Two boards in one compact frame

The Melissa & Doug Magnetic Chalkboard and Dry-Erase Board pairs a magnetic chalkboard with a smooth dry-erase surface inside a sturdy wooden frame. A convenient carry handle makes it easy for little ones to move from room to room, hang it up, or take it on the go. The combination invites kids to switch between chalk art and clean, erasable lines, keeping play fresh and interactive.

Every set includes three sticks of colored chalk, a dry-erase marker, an eraser, and 36 bold magnetic uppercase letters and numbers. This ready-to-use collection supports quick-start creativity and encourages hands-on exploration right away, making it a versatile hub for drawing, spelling, counting, and pretend play.

What kids can explore

• Draw bold scenes on the chalkboard side and wipe clean for new ideas
• Arrange magnets to spell words and tackle simple math challenges
• Practice color recognition and identify letters and numbers in playful contexts
• Share the board with friends for cooperative play and storytelling

Designed for ages three and up, the board measures 16 inches by 12 inches, delivering a substantial surface without overwhelming small hands. The natural wood frame offers a classic feel that fits both playrooms and classroom corners. While beautifully simple, the design also invites kids to experiment with sequencing, patterning, and storytelling as they switch between writing and magnet play.

Benefits you may notice in daily play

• Supports fine motor development through magnet placement and precise chalk drawing
• Promotes screen-free learning and imaginative exploration during family time
• Encourages early literacy, numerical recognition, and color identification in a hands-on way
• Offers a flexible, open-ended toy that adapts to a variety of activities

Storage and care are straightforward: the board’s carry handle makes it easy to bring along, and the wooden frame keeps surfaces smooth and durable. This item contains small parts, so adult supervision is advised for younger children. It also makes a thoughtful, gift-ready choice for kids who love hands-on exploration and creative play. Real-life sessions might include quick spelling challenges, counting games with the magnets, or a mini art show at the end of the day.

Real-life use ideas

Plan mini spelling races, count items around the house with magnet prompts, or design color-based sorting games. The dual surfaces support both word building and quick sketches, making it a practical centerpiece for family learning time or a classroom center.
