Magnetic Fridge Whiteboard Calendar by Smart Panda - Perfect Month Planner, Memo or Event Reminder for Adults and Children - Notice Board - Monthly

This is a really nice product and I would recommend it to anyone who needs to organise themselves or a family. It is just the right size for a fridge and really easy to use. It arrives flat, not rolled or folded. The boxes for the days of the week are a good size to write in. The 4 pens are great as they are magnetic so stick to the fridge door. This means they won't get lost. I chose this particular product as I could see it could be used not just just as a tool for adults to keep track of days and activities but to teach a small child (in this case just about four years old) about the days of the week and the pattern of school and weekends; holidays and other activities. The child was developing an idea of what is meant by 'the number of sleeps' to a favourite activity or anticipated special day. Using this visual calendar has really helped move them on in their understanding of the patterns their days fall into. The small child for whom it was bought, loved it so much and wanted to write on it too, that I bought another one for them to have at their own level on the fridge door. So now they draw on it and practise their letters as they talk about their activities and what they are going to be doing. It makes counting 'the number of sleeps' really visual and gives a sense of purpose to learning the days of the week. It also teaches the child to learn about months of the year. The child it was bought for likes arranging all the pens on the door. I also bought one for a friend with a small child the same age. He is really pleased with it too.

I ordered a cheaper one off temu and it was half the size and flimsy. My son kept taking it off the fridge to draw on it so I figured I'd just order myself a new one and let him have that. This one is more more durable, and well made. Feels good quality and worth the money like it will last many years. It's a very good size and cleans really well, without leaving marks behind. The pens work absolutely fine, but I bought a bigger pack with more colours from home bargains for £3. The layout is perfect and it's large enough to not miss what's happening on what day. Sticks to the fridge very well too, the magnet is strong

This is a nice sized monthly planner for the front or side of an average family fridge, simple but effective and well designed. The dates are pre-printed, while each month you enter the days of the week as appropriate - which is my preferred system. The magneticism is just right, and I didn't find it hard to peel off at all (unlike a review I read). The pens allow for useful colour coding and are in attractive colours. The only downsides I can see are that I personally would prefer finer nibs on the pens - I find that if I try to write more than 1-2 words in each 'line' then I can't read it very well anymore - and the 'erasers', although very useful, often come off the pen, so it can get a little bit fiddly. The former point is more important because if you add an appointment (which is sometimes more than one word or it's not enough info), time and venue, then there's not much else you can add for that day else you risk illegibility. The option of purchasing a magnetic fine liner pen would appeal to me! Still, I can already see that this will be a very useful planner. Overall, I highly recommend it. It's the kind of thing where I wonder why I didn't buy one years ago! Well done, SmartPanda!

My son loves it, visualise what we are going to do, he is austisic and this planner gives him a prediction! Nice

Excellent item !

Excellent quality, thick and arrived well packaged (lay straight on foam so it didn't get bent in the post). The 4 coloured whiteboard pens work well and a nice strong colour. Stuck to my fridge with ease and it doesn't slide down.

Great size, useful for scheduling. Good quality and easily sticks to fridges

Bad PointsWas initially disappointed, as if you go by the sellers picture’s, especially the first one you see, it appears to be a solid item with a metal magnetic backing. It even says in the information that it’s wall mountable, it would only be wall mountable, if you fastened it to a piece of wood or other hard backing. It’s really ONLY fridge or other metal surface mountable. Also I’m guessing just my bad luck, that two of the pens provided were dried out on arrival of item.But still a decent purchase, just let down by the slightly confusing picture and information, which should really say “flexible magnetic calendar for fridge” and picture should show that it’s only a few mm thick.Good PointsIt’s a good size and very easy to put on your fridge or other metal surface, would advise that you take measurements from description and then measure where you plan to put it.Luckily it just fit on my fridge (which wasn’t where I was initially going to put it), but it works well where it is.The fact that the pens have magnetic strips on them, is really handy, as it keeps them from being misplaced. There’s enough space on each day, for you to write a couple of appointments & it’s easy to correct what you have written in that particular day, as the pens have a felt top.So would still recommend the item, all I would ask, is that the seller show’s exactly what it is and that it’s “Just” Fridge mountable and doesn’t have a hard backing.Sorry but I dropped a star due to the misleading picture and another star because the description say’s wall mountable (which was initially why I bought it, as it was going to be fastened to my kitchen wall). If these were changed I would gladly give it 5 stars.Thanks 👍
