A travel tray having a flexible magnetically receptive, dry erase play surface permitting a child user to “stick” magnetic pieces to the play surface as desired as well as write or draw on the play surface using non-toxic dry erase markers is described. Variations include side pockets to store play items, such as markers, magnets, small toys and snacks. The side pockets typically include a mesh outer layer permitting a child or caretaker to see what is contained in the pockets at a glance without having to reach therein. In one variation a side pocket having a solid waterproof fabric outer layer is provided wherein the pocket is sized to receive a beverage container and includes an opening lined with an elastic band to assist in holding the container in place in an upright orientation.
