No, the Magnetic PlayWall™ is designed to be removable and renter-friendly. It sticks using micro-suction (thousands of tiny suction cups), so there's no glue and no sticky residue left behind.

Applied to a clean, smooth, compatible surface and removed slowly, it comes away cleanly. Every wall finish is a little different, so we always recommend checking your surface first and if you'd rather not stick anything to the wall, our board-backing option gives you the same play space without it.

The Magnetic PlayWall™ measures 95 cm high × 60 cm wide a generous, dedicated play space for building with magnetic tiles, learning letters and numbers, drawing, setting up daily routines and imaginative play. It's large enough to grow with your child, while still fitting neatly into a bedroom, playroom or living area.

Yes, the Magnetic PlayWall™ works beautifully with Connetix® tiles and other lightweight magnetic toys, turning a smooth wall into a vertical play space. It also works with magnetic ball runs, letters, numbers and shapes. For ball runs, build a flat base layer of tiles first for the best hold.

The Magnetic PlayWall™ works best on clean, smooth, non-porous surfaces - including cured painted plaster, painted timber, laminate, glass, mirrors, cupboards and smooth doors.

It's not suitable for textured, chalky, brick, uneven, wax-coated, peeling, damp or freshly painted walls (let new paint cure for around six months first). If you're unsure, check our Wall Compatibility Guide or send us a photo at hi@smartypals.com.au and we'll help.

A magnetic wall decal is a self-adhesive magnetic surface that turns an ordinary wall into an interactive play and learning space. The SmartyPals Magnetic PlayWall™ is one large, lightweight decal far bigger than a traditional magnetic whiteboard - that installs in minutes without drilling and encourages hands-on, screen-free play. Kids can build, learn and create on it, then everything wipes clean for next time.

A magnetic playwall is a dedicated wall space where children play and learn with magnets. On the SmartyPals Magnetic PlayWall™, kids can build words and numbers, do simple maths, create artwork, follow daily routines and enjoy imaginative play. Because it works with so many magnet sets and tiles, it grows with your child from the toddler years through school age.

If you're unsure whether your wall will work, send a photo to our team at hi@smartypals.com.au and we'll help you check before you buy. If your surface isn't ideal, our Magnetic Board and Board & Stand options give you the same play experience without sticking anything to the wall.

Yes, you can. The Magnetic PlayWall™ is renter-friendly. It uses micro-suction to stick (no glue, screws or drilling) and removes cleanly from compatible surfaces, so it's a great fit for rentals. If you'd prefer a completely non-permanent option, our Magnetic Board Bundle or Board & Stand lets you set up the same play space anywhere.

The SmartyPals Magnetic PlayWall™ is designed right here for Australian families, with a renter-friendly, peel-and-stick design and compatibility with magnetic tiles, letters, numbers and liquid chalk markers. It's beautifully designed to suit modern Aussie homes, backed by local support, and built around our promise of Less Screens, More Play™.

The Magnetic PlayWall™ is designed for children aged 3 years and up, with adult supervision. It's made to grow with your child, from early letter and number play through to more complex building, drawing and storytelling as they get older. It's for indoor use only.

On the Magnetic PlayWall™, kids can build with magnetic tiles, learn letters, numbers, colours and shapes, practise drawing and writing, act out role-play scenes, follow visual routines and proudly display their artwork. Paired with our magnet sets and dustless chalk crayons, it becomes an ever-changing space for hands-on, screen-free play.

The Magnetic PlayWall™ is a large, lightweight wall decal that installs without drilling or mounting, while a magnetic whiteboard is usually smaller, heavier, needs hardware to hang and is designed mainly for writing. The PlayWall gives kids a much bigger, more versatile space for building, learning and imaginative play and you can still write on it with liquid chalk or whiteboard markers.

Yes, you can write and draw on the Magnetic PlayWall™ with liquid chalk markers or whiteboard markers, and it wipes clean for next time. Our dustless chalk crayons are made to work on it too, so kids can colour and create without the mess.

The Magnetic PlayWall™ starts at $89, and you receive the magnetic wall decal itself (95 cm × 60 cm), ready to install in minutes without drilling. Magnet sets and dustless chalk crayons are sold separately so you can choose the themes your child will love most — many families start with the PlayWall plus an Alphabet or Number set.

No, the Magnetic PlayWall™ is the magnetic wall surface, and magnets are sold separately so you can pick the sets that suit your child. Our magnet sets start at $25 and include options like Alphabet, Numbers, Shapes, Dino Discovery and Little Chef, and they all work on the PlayWall as well as your fridge.

Yes, because the Magnetic PlayWall™ uses micro-suction rather than glue, you can gently peel it back and reposition it if you get a bubble or want to adjust the placement. It's reusable around 3–4 times when the backing is kept clean and dust-free. If it stops gripping, wipe the back with a little water, let it dry fully, then reapply to a clean, smooth surface.

To clean the Magnetic PlayWall™, wipe the front gently with a slightly damp cloth. Liquid chalk marker, whiteboard marker and our dustless chalk crayons all wipe away easily, so it's ready for the next creation. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking it, and let it dry before adding magnets again.

Yes — the Magnetic PlayWall™ is designed for open-ended, hands-on play, which many families find lovely for independent playtime and tactile, sensory exploration. Children can build, sort, draw and create at their own pace, standing and moving as they play. As always, it's best enjoyed with supervision for ages 3 and up.

Magnetic PlayWall™ wall decals aren't covered by our 30-day change-of-mind guarantee, because a good result depends on your specific wall surface. That's why we recommend checking our Wall Compatibility Guide first, or sending us a photo before you buy.
