Are these boards magnetically receptive, or magnetic? As in, do magnets attract to them, or is it a magnet itself?

They are magnetic. We use them in our preschool classroom for the kids to use with magnetic Alphabet Letters.

These boards are made of a metal that draws any item or device that has a magnet to the front blue surface. The back, however, is padded cardboard and therefore does not attract magnetic devices.

I don't know if it is magnetic, because I didn't keep the board. When I received the board it did not have a frame, so I returned it. I wanted a board with a frame.

These boards are not magnetic. I keep some in a box for student use and I hung a couple with push pins surrounding the outside.

I tested your idea with different weight magnets (not a scientific examination of the possibilities, of course!) but, what I found is that they will hold the a magnet equal or slightly heavier than they are. This is basically the same as all the business promotion ones you get from companies hoping you'll stick their advertising or phone number to your 'fridge... all of those types hold just fine.

The magnets are made of wood with the back side entirely magnetic. I'm not sure what the front is exactly - it doesn't say anywhere whether it's a coating or painted directly on the surface. However, I prefer these to the Melissa and Doug magnetic alphabet. Those are wood as well but I've found that the front of the magnets start to peel rather quickly, almost like the top is paper, especially if you have a kid who likes to stick things in their mouth. So far these Djeco ones have held up much better and still look nice and new.

These magnets are very STRONG! The adhesive is not flat on the magnet. There is a small amount of foam backing on the adhesive. If that doesn't interfere with your needs, then you may be confident that the magnets are strong enough for you.

I cannot recall if they are magnetized. But, they didn't work well for me. Got I screw out but not the other.

The board is not magnetic at all. It is just a sheet of stainless steel formed into a square. It has to be mounted with screws (not recommended for a fridge) or some kind of adhesive.

I'm chuckling. It's strong relative to what it is perhaps? Only the black side is magnetic. It's perfect for magnetic blackboards, filing cabinets etc. I can toss a 1 foot by one foot sheet at my blackboard and it sticks. I love the stuff. Great for teachers for sure. Hope this helps.

Yes, small magnets will stick to the boards. The dry erase marker has a magnet on the end so it sticks to the board, and I also use the small push pin magnets and they stick to it very well.

Eric, there are no magnets. I would be careful when buying products that have magnets because of quality. I would talk to people and get their input.

Yes, they have some felt on the bottom. The whole setup is with magnets. I like it :)

We just ordered the set and nothing is magnetic. Where are the magnets? If your set doesn't have the magnetic component it should be advertised as such. There isn't information stating the magnets are separate or where to purchase. Please give information regarding magnets soon or I'm returning.

It is a metallic board with magnetic properties, so it uses magnetic "pins" to hold items to the board. Pushpins would not work, and might scratch the board.

The size of the board is like sheet of paper A2. Big enough. All body parts are magnetic and yes they stick to a frige.

The individual bits are not magnetic. The 1/4' and 5/16" adapters, the bit extender, and of course the magnetic screw holder are. If you use any of these (except the 5/16" adapter) with the bits, then the bits will exhibit magnetic characteristics as well.

Hi, I am not 100% sure, but the bottom does attract magnets, if that helps. Chris
