I would like to get some sort of board to display our monthly themes ad I have three options and not sure which once to go for and am hoping some wiser CMers will help me out!

I could get some of these I can get them cheaper. Pro is that it's folded away at end of day. Con is that it's not very big - do you think it would be big enough? I have 6 children (work with another CMer)

Option 2 is a full on 2 meter long display board that would fill one entire wall. Pro nice big space. Probably would suit the children better (?) Con It's expensive. Maybe too big as in so much work to change every month. No room for any artwork in playroom. Can't take it down (main bug bear ad don't want house to be too businessy).

Option 3 is that I have a strip of space between the table and shelving playroom picture here am in process of reorganising!. I guess the strip is about 50cm high and 2m wide. My preference is to use this because pro less dominating in playroom and allows other pictures to go up on the wall on the right. con not sure of big enough. Children could reach it. Awkward crouching space for me to decorate. Was going to put another smaller shelf there.

So, my question is WWYD? In my hear I want to use the small strip in my head I think I should fill the wall on the right.

How about a big piece of metal from B&Q that you can stick things to with magnets? That's what I'd like to do, but it's not happening.

ikea do metal splashbacks for kitchens - could you get one there to fit?

Thanks both, sorry I posted and ran as friend was stuck in snow!

HSMM, I have a magnetic board in the porch that I use to hold parents stuff. I ideally wanted something I could staple into as I imagined doing displays with big rolls of craft paper etc and stapling them on to make backgrounds; if that makes sense? Do you think magnets would be better?

BALD - think I will use the small strip - do you think it'll be big enough? I like to get things right first time to avoid excess spending hence all the mooing around wondering. Sorry!
