I bought this magnetic dry erase whiteboard withthe letters and markers for my autistic grandson for his birthday. The magnetic letters is how he communicates, and he loves to just draw. This way he can draw away and dad won't have a panic attack because they are "real" markers! These only really work on the white board. This also comes with round magnets which dad is going to keep so that he can use them on his fridge! So now they are both happy! I am ecstatic because this is a quality item, and it is educational for my grandson! His smile made this all worth it! Of course, if you just want to use it in your house for you, that is very doable too!
