Great option for allowing coloring

C.B. · 23 July 2025

Simply Magic Jumbo Magnetic Draw and Write Paper promises to transform any magnetic surface into an instant, reusable whiteboard. Marketed as a versatile tool for classrooms, homes, and offices, its core appeal lies in its magnetic adhesion and dry-erase functionality.Important Note on Size: The given dimensions of "18' x 23'" are almost certainly a typo for 18" x 23" (inches). If it were genuinely 18 by 23 feet, it would be an enormous, unwieldy wall-sized product impractical for most users. This review assumes the more logical and common dimensions of 18 x 23 inches.Key Features & Performance:Magnetic Adhesion (Excellent): This is where the Simply Magic paper truly shines. The magnetic backing is strong and reliable, allowing the sheet to adhere firmly to whiteboards, refrigerators, filing cabinets, or any other receptive magnetic surface. It stays put, even with vigorous writing or drawing, yet is incredibly easy to reposition or remove without leaving any residue or damage. This flexibility is a huge advantage over adhesive-backed dry-erase sheets.Dry Erase Surface (Very Good): The surface is smooth and responsive to dry-erase markers. Writing glides on easily, and the ink shows up clearly. When it comes to erasing, the material performs admirably. With quality dry-erase markers and a proper eraser, it wipes clean with very minimal, if any, ghosting, even after extended periods. As with all dry-erase surfaces, using good quality markers and cleaning promptly contributes to its longevity.Size (18" x 23" - Generous & Usable): Assuming the 18" x 23" dimensions, this size hits a sweet spot. It's large enough to offer ample writing or drawing space for group activities, brainstorming sessions, or detailed drawings, without being so cumbersome that it's difficult to handle or store. It effectively expands the usable surface of a standard small whiteboard or provides a dedicated magnetic writing area on a fridge.Durability (Good): The material feels robust and designed for repeated use. The edges are clean, and the sheet resists curling or creasing when handled reasonably. It appears capable of withstanding the rigors of a busy classroom or a creative home environment.Versatility (High):Classrooms: Ideal for small group work, individual learning stations, displaying daily agendas, word walls, math problems, or collaborative drawing exercises. Teachers can easily move these sheets between different areas or groups.Home: Perfect for chore charts, grocery lists, homeschooling lessons, kids' art projects, or simply as a family message center on the refrigerator.Office: Useful for quick brainstorming, project timelines, agile stand-up notes, or temporary displays in meeting rooms.Pros:Strong, reliable magnetic hold: Stays put, no slipping.Clean dry-erase and easy erasing: Minimizes ghosting.Generous and practical size (assuming 18" x 23"): Offers ample space without being unwieldy.Highly versatile: Suitable for multiple environments and uses.Easy to reposition and remove: No sticky residue.Durable construction: Designed for repeated use.Cons:Confusing Product Description (Size): The "18' x 23'" dimension is a major point of confusion and needs clarification from the manufacturer. It strongly implies feet, which is unrealistic.Requires a Magnetic Surface: It won't stick directly to non-magnetic walls or surfaces, which might be a limitation for some users hoping for a truly portable stick-anywhere solution.Marker Quality Dependent: Like all dry-erase surfaces, performance is best with good quality markers and proper cleaning.Who is it for?Teachers: Looking to expand their whiteboard space, facilitate group activities, or create flexible learning stations.Parents: For homeschooling, creative play, organizing household tasks, or a family communication hub.Small Office Teams: For agile workflows, quick brainstorming, or temporary visual aids.Anyone needing a flexible, reusable, and easily repositionable writing or drawing surface on a magnetic area.Overall Recommendation:Assuming the Simply Magic Jumbo Magnetic Draw and Write Paper is indeed 18 inches by 23 inches, it is an excellent product that delivers on its promises. Its strong magnetic adhesion and clean dry-erase surface make it a highly practical and versatile tool for expanding creative and organizational space in various settings. Just be sure to double-check the actual dimensions upon purchase if there's any lingering doubt about the "feet" vs. "inches" discrepancy. For its intended use, it's a "Simply Magic" addition to any classroom, home, or office!

Dry erase great for kids writing practice

Great size, comes with multiple colored dry erase pens, the entire mat is a magnet so it stays put on the fridge and wipes down easily.Easy to write on and love that it has one mat with lines and one without. For both drawling and writing practice.

Great homeschool tool, minor flaw

Very sturdy magnetic dry erase pieces. The size is nice especially for handwriting in the preschool years. I was surprised to find it had the cursive alphabet in both upper and lowercase and d'nealian numerals for reference at the bottom. I didn't see the images closely enough to notice that, so it was a nice perk.The supplied markers both write and erase clean. All magnetic parts function well.The only thing that I found somewhat bothersome is the dashed line at the x-height begins to blend into a solid line toward the end of the top two rows as shown in the image, hence the removal of one star.

Great set for kids learning to write and draw

This is a great set, and I’d say it’s certainly worth the price. They are a good size and my grandkids immediately took to them. The magnets are strong on the mats. It’s nice that the markers are also magnetic, but those magnets are significantly weaker so they can be knocked off easily. Overall, very pleased with this set.

Will be great.

I have not actually used it yet, but it looks great. It is a nice size, the magnets are decent and it comes with a tone of small dry erase markers in different colors. I can't wait to use it with my kids next year to model the writing process.
