The Magnet Wall is a large surface (3x5, 4’x6’ or 4x8’) of either chalkboard or whiteboard.

You can draw on the chalkboard with real (or fake) chalk! And on the whiteboard, you can use erasable markers, washable finger paint, or any other washable coloring medium.

AND, because both boards are metal, magnets of all kinds will stick to them, so you may want to consider purchasing the small and/or large magnetic loose parts packages which consist of several magnetic channels/ramps, funnels, and deflectors that kids can use to make paths for water, sand, balls, etc. (see descriptions below)

These big walls are another Must on a playground. 33% of children are visual learners, and children who make art read better and get better grades, so art should be an important activity outside as well, because the outdoor environment stimulates all kinds of sensations that children can’t get inside.

These are also great for an outdoor classroom, and can easily be installed in front of sitting stumps or slab or other benches spaced 6 safe feet apart.

It’s well-known that art develops hand and eye coordination, stimulates perception, allows exploration of ideas, encourages creative solutions, enhances critical thinking, provides a way to reflect on feelings, and allows children to be more self-aware and to express thoughts or emotions in new ways, so these write-on walls can play a critical role in your outdoor curriculum.

Both chalk and white panels are completely washable, which makes cleanup simple.

You have three choices for mounting: one is directly into the ground using provided posts. You can adjust the height of the wall by putting more or less of the posts in the ground.

Second, you can order the one mounted to a wall.

And third, you can order a portable/movable wall on wheels, or, if you don‘t want wheels, they can be removed so the wall sits on feet

PLEASE NOTE: if you order the wall with the wheels/feet, please be very cautious about taking it outside. The materials are made for outdoor use, but keep in mind that the big surface is like a big sail, so it might blow over or have a mind of its own if it gets windy. We don’t blame you for wanting to take it outside for a class, but we suggest you immediately move it inside when done or if the wind picks up.

All walls come with complete, easy installation instructions and all hardware.

Magnetic Loose Parts Packages: What would a magnet board be without the magnetic learning elements that stick to it? We have two differently sized packages available:

The small magnetic loose parts package contains three 18” channels/ramps, three 12” channels/ramps, 4 deflectors, 4 funnels, and 4 funnel holders, all with strong magnets.

The large magnetic loose parts package contains four 24” channels, four 18” channels/ramps, three 12” channels/ramps, 3 deflectors, 5 funnels, and 5 funnel holders, all with strong magnets.


NOTE: Also elsewhere in the store is our regular, freestanding art easel which measures 2 feet wide by 4 feet tall, and comes complete with a small shelf at the bottom. If you’re looking for something smaller than our chalk or white walls, please look at the Art Easel with chalk or white panels.
