Can I use dry-erase markers on the blackboard?

No, the blackboard is designed for chalk use only. Dry-erase markers may damage the surface.

Are the magnetic letters and numbers strong enough for a refrigerator?

The magnetic strength is designed for the included blackboard. They may adhere to some refrigerator doors, but performance can vary based on the refrigerator's magnetic surface.

What are the dimensions of the product?

The product dimensions are 27 x 34 x 27 cm.

Does it come with paper for drawing?

Yes, the playcentre includes 20 sheets of paper for drawing and creative activities.

Is it easy to store?

Yes, all the pieces fit into the handy carry case, making it easy to store and ensuring pieces don't get lost.

Troubleshooting

Magnetic pieces not sticking to the blackboard.

Ensure the blackboard surface is clean and dry. Check that the pieces are indeed magnetic; very thin layers of dust or residue can sometimes affect adhesion. Clean both the piece and the board lightly.

Chalk breaks easily.

Handle chalk gently. If chalk is consistently breaking, consider using a different brand of chalk that may be more durable.

Carry case latch is difficult to close.

Ensure all components are placed flat and securely within the case, without bulging. Rearrange items to allow the lid to close smoothly.

Parts are missing.

Double-check all compartments within the carry case, including any internal dividers. If parts are confirmed missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer for replacements.
