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.
Caroline: Sometimes, it's easier/cheaper! just to buy than to DYI... here's a rather large one:

Thanks Nan W I think I’ll go this route it does look like it’ll be cheaper and less work 😂😊
there was at one time blackboard paint that would go over metal.
Thank you all for the suggestions and great ideas 😊
