A great product for portable programming . I am a librarian who conducts storytimes in classrooms on a daily basis, conducting 80+ programs each month. I have been searching for a portable flannelboard to take into classrooms. It is harder to find than I thought it would be. I found this product when searching the Amazon site and ordered one to try. The size is slightly smaller than the previous board I had been using but I have been able to adapt to the size. I am pleased with the product overall and would say that it's the nicest feltboard I have used in my 30+ years in the field. Two suggestions for improvement would be to make the felt part of the board on the inside when the case if folded to protect the felt from rain, etc. and also to reinforce the seams of the product. I have had to reinforce the seam that holds the board together with black electrical tape because the one edge that isn't reinforced with fabric is starting to rip. I realize that most people won't give this product the heavy use that I do but feel that a potential buyer needs to be aware of this. After my initial purchase I ordered 3 more for the rest of my programming team. I also took the product to a meeting to share with the other librarians in my system. I have had many teachers inquire about how to purchase one as well. Previously I had used a feltboard that I had modified to fit over a chair in a classroom. This product, because it folds into a triangle shape sits directly on the chair and provides a small space for me to store my flannel pieces when I am presenting a storytime.

Flannel Board and More . I ordered these boards so my grandchildren can tell flannel board stories for FHE. The fact that they can write on one side and it's also magnetic are great bonus features. It is also very portable and stores easily.

Nice to play with could have better design . We bought this for our 3 year old. He loves drawing on it with the dry erase markers. We also play with magnetic letters on the boards as well as felt pieces on the flannel board side. It works as it is intended to. My only complaint is that to switch it to the various sides the flap that is supposed to secure the baord in place isn't very sturdy. The design could be better. Overall though, this is a fun product for kids. Great way to engage your child's imagination.

A solution . Although this is a toy, it is a great office solution. We have all wood workstations and no place for whiteboards. This is a great solution. It has its own easel and two nice sized white board surfaces. It folds away into a slim space that can be stored anywhere.
great board! . This board is great and exactly what I was looking for. I use it at home with my preschooler and she loves to act out.different stories on it. Nice quality and portable.
