Abstract: A magnetic writable/erasable mat is comprised of at least one magnetically active layer and a writable/erasable surface. The magnetic mat may also include a writable/erasable layer, a backing layer, and an opaque layer. The magnetic mat may also include pre-printed markings for use in organizing, measuring, or instructional applications. The magnetic mat with the writable/erasable surface provides for magnetically attracted items to be secured on the mat while additionally providing for writable annotation or other organizational markings.
