The magnetic chalkboard is found in homes, schools, clubs, and offices everywhere, carrying notices, lists, reminders, sale tracking, catalogs, and price lists and other information. In recent years, it has migrated to the children's bedrooms, where it often appears with artwork featuring toys, cartoon characters, and cute animals. In fact, these boards have become as indispensable a feature of a child's room as the toy box.
