Educational Insights 3-in-1 Magnetic Whiteboard & Flannel Board Portable Easel - Perfect for Classroom, Homeschool & Kids Art Activities

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.W. Ramsey, Columbus, OH
