Is There a Magnetic Wall Sticker My Child Can Draw On With Chalk?

Yes. The Magnimoo magnetic wall is one arch-shaped, peel-and-stick wall decal that holds magnets and that your child can draw on with chalk. It measures 95 × 75 cm and comes in six colours, so one sticker gives your child a magnet board and a chalkboard in the same spot.

Below are the plain facts, how drawing and erasing works, how the wall goes up, and short answers to the questions parents ask most.

Why chalk and magnets on one wall

Most surfaces in a child's room do one job. A magnet board holds letters and animals. A chalkboard takes drawings. A magnetic wall decal that also takes chalk lets your child do both in the same place. Draw a road with chalk, then line up vehicle magnets beside it. Sketch a house, then add animal magnets around the garden.

On the wall it works like a big fridge door at child height: letters, numbers, animals and vehicles stay where little hands put them. Because it is always up and always visible, it is easy to come back to for five minutes or for a whole afternoon.

How drawing with chalk works

1. Wait after fitting. Let the wall sit for at least 5 hours after you put it up before anyone uses it.
2. Pick up the chalk. The Magnimoo chalk set has 12 colours and an easy-to-grip holder. The holder helps keep fingers clean and gives small hands better grip and control.
3. Draw. Letters, roads, faces, a weather chart for the week: the whole surface is there to be drawn on.
4. Erase and start again. Our instructions say the surface is covered with a protective film that you can write on and erase as needed, so yesterday's picture does not have to stay.

If your child prefers pens, the surface also takes the Magnimoo washable pen set (8 colours).

Stay nearby while your child draws.

How it goes on the wall

First, check your wall. Magnimoo needs a smooth, dry, painted surface. It works on smooth painted walls (paint dry for 30 days or more), glass, metal and smooth wood. It won't hold well on textured paint or stucco, brick, wallpaper, bare unpainted plaster or fresh paint. Our 10-second wall check shows what to look for.

Then follow the steps from our instructions:

1. Unroll the wall and lay it flat with the blue protective film facing up. Press the edges down with books for at least 8 hours, until it no longer curls.
2. Peel back a small section of the blue release film at the top and stick that part to the wall where you want it. Press firmly with your palm.
3. Slowly peel away the rest of the film while pressing the wall down evenly.
4. Smooth it with your palm or a cloth, from top to bottom and left to right, to push out air bubbles.
5. Wait at least 5 hours before play.

The glue works by pressure, so press firmly all over, and stick it on in one go.

Questions parents ask

Can my child draw on a magnetic wall sticker with chalk?

Yes. The Magnimoo magnetic wall takes chalk, and washable pens too. Your child can draw, erase and draw again.

Does the wall come with chalk?

The wall on its own comes without magnets or chalk. The starter bundles include the wall, 62 magnets, chalk and a pen holder. You can also add the chalk set (12 colours with a holder) on its own.

What size is it, and which colours can I choose?

One arch-shaped piece, 95 × 75 cm (37.4 × 29.5 inches). There are six colours: Black Onyx, Grey Slate, Blue Mist, Pink Blush, Brown Mocha and White Ivory.

What age is it for?

The wall is for ages 1 to 6; magnet sets are for ages 3+, with a grown-up nearby.

Is it safe?

The wall is CE marked, tested to EN 71-1/2/3. Magnet sets are for ages 3+, so stay nearby while your child plays with them.

Will it stick to my wall?

It needs a smooth, dry, painted wall, or glass, metal or smooth wood. Textured paint, brick, wallpaper, bare plaster and fresh paint are not a good match. Try the 10-second wall check before you order.
