The board


Magna Doodle

In 1974, four engineers at Pilot Pen Corporation of Japan began searching for a dustless chalkboard.

What they found would eventually become one of the world's most popular drawing toys - Magna Doodle, the magnetic drawing board.

Over 40 million have been sold to date and they are still popular with children today.
