New Magnetic Board

I went to IKEA the other day...dream....I love that place. I forgot to bring a list (bad idea) but I came across this magnetic board and I remembered a simple idea that I had a while back. We have a stainless steal refridgerator and they are not magnetic. I have always wanted to provide my kids with a place to play with magnetic letters and numbers, so I thought I'd add one somewhere in my house. I finally took the trip (4 hours) to IKEA and bought this great magnetic board. I odered these letters from amazon.com. Now I'm just waiting for them to come in. Yeah! So excited that I get to she gets to play with them!

To be safe I replaced the outlet with an outlet cover.
The item in the top right corner is the magnetic board in white.



Ran into a snag. The wall is bowed.

What shall I do?

I found these in my misc hardware drawer and thought I'd give them a try.
They are these 1 inch round spongy black washers. They work like a charm. I just placed them between the screws and the wall and it made up for the space on either end of the board.

All up and ready for the fun letters. I just hung up some random large magnets that I had.

She'll figure it out.
(Sorry for the terrible picture. Playing in action)
