You can make your own dry erase board like this https://www.hometalk.com/34419905/upcycle-an-old-frame-and-some-corks-into-a-diy-dry-erase-board or a magnetic board like this https://www.hometalk.com/18534477/huge-colorful-magnetic-board

A cheap piece of sheet metal can be used as a base and a wooden frame around it to dress it up was my first thought. They sell dry-erase paint that would cover the sheet metal. There also are metal paints that can be put on any surface to allow magnets to stick.
