Enhancing teaching with magnetic boards: an effective tool for school education



Magnetic boards can become valuable tools in the field of children's education, facilitating learning processes and lesson organisation.

But how can a simple steel board be so helpful in the classroom, particularly in primary and nursery schools?

Let's find out together in this article.

Magnetic boards for children: a visual learning tool

First of all, the magnetic board is an ideal tool for visual learning. 

It is a well-known fact that children assimilate information presented visually better and faster. 

With a magnetic board, teachers can illustrate complex concepts in a simpler way, create diagrams, concept maps or drawings that help concretise abstract ideas, thus making lessons more engaging and comprehensible.



In addition, with the help of magnetic pins, it is possible to hang educational posters to supplement the conventional teacher's explanation. 

The magnetic board can be used even as a projection surface for the latest generation of interactive projectors. For this purpose, KalaMitica has created large boards, which can become a real touch screen where you can click, write and draw with the special pen or, more simply, with your fingers. 

Stimulating active participation with the magnetic board

The magnetic board is also an excellent tool for encouraging children to actively participate in lessons.

For example, magnets in the shape of letters and numbers can be used to make up words and mathematical operations, or magnets with various designs and colours can be used to label parts of a diagram, order events in a time sequence, or participate in interactive learning games.



This direct interaction helps keep children's attention and interest high, as well as reinforcing understanding of the concepts explained.

Organising and planning with a magnetic board

The magnetic board can also be used for organising and planning school life.

Teachers can use it to display lesson times, homework and projects, making it easy for children to understand what is expected of them.



This can help develop awareness of time, time management skills and personal responsibility in children.

Magnetic board for promoting and teaching collaboration

Finally, the magnetic board can be a catalyst for group work. 



Children can work together on a problem or project, using the board as a shared space to present their ideas and collaborate.

This helps develop communication, listening and cooperation, all essential skills in everyday life as well.

KalaMitica products for school and teaching

At KalaMitica, we offer different types of magnetic boards for schools, with standard or customisable sizes up to 145x100 cm and with various types of finish, to meet every need.



  1. The anthracite magnetic board (as an alternative or replacement for the classic slate board), writable with chalk or liquid chalk markers.
  2. The glossy white magnetic board, writable with whiteboard markers and dry-eraseable.
  3. The matte white magnetic panel, non-writable but ideal for use with interactive video projectors: the matte surface does not create reflections and allows perfect legibility of the projected images.
  4. The magnetic whiteboard with a slightly rough surface, writable with chalk or liquid chalk markers, also excellent for use with video projectors.

In addition, KalaMitica's range includes a series of magnetic containers in various shapes, colours and sizes, which can be sticked to the boards themselves to store chalk, markers, erasers, magnetic toys, etc.

Finally, with magnetic pins, it is possible to hang notices and posters where and when needed: unlike classic drawing pins, magnetic pins do not have an iron tip, so children will not run the risk of getting pricked!

In conclusion...

For all the reasons we have listed above, the magnetic board is much more than a simple presentation tool. 

It is a powerful teaching tool that can stimulate visual learning, encourage active participation, facilitate organisation and planning and promote collaboration.

The adoption of this tool in classrooms can lead to better learning outcomes and a more engaging and rewarding learning experience for our children.
