Our poor little man has so many magnets and nowhere to put them. Our refrigerator isn’t magnetic, so he’s out of luck there. I made him a great chalkboard wall in his playroom last year using chalkboard paint. That stuff is great! Do you know what isn’t? The magnetic paint that I put underneath. That stuff is junk and garbage. Don’t waste your money on it. It barely holds up dollar store letters. So, I was all over this pin.
Apparently, oil drip pans make great magnet boards. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t know because it was impossible to find one. I was able to improvise though. I found pre-cut sheet metal at Ace that I was able to use instead.
The corners were a little sharp, so I sanded them slightly with some sandpaper. I drilled four holes in the corners and screwed it to the wall. Bam – magnet board!

I wonder…if you painted the sheet metal with chalkboard paint & framed it, it would work as a magnetic chalkboard, no? Great idea! xo
I was wondering if that would work too. You might need to prime the metal first to make sure the paint sticks, but I think it could work.
where did you get your letter magnets, I cant find them anywhere!
They are Melissa and Doug. I think I found them on Amazon, but if you Google Melissa and Doug magnets they should come right up.
ITA! That magnetic paint under the chalk board paint sucked!!!
