Buy Rustoleum Chalk Board paint and paint a wall with it, or a cupboard door. You could also paint a board and then mount it to the wall with mirror clips.
You can use chalkboard paint on any piece of wood, Marguerite. I recently used an old ironing board as a menu board:

Frame it with metal and then decorate with kitchen magnets. You can either use paint on the wall, a board, a large pan, or a cookie sheet.
Here is one I made using chalkboard paint.

I would suggest framing a piece of sheet metal that you have primed and painted with chalkboard paint. This way it will be both chalkboard and magnetic.
