It wasn’t long after I purchased this toy set for my boys that I heard a news story about a child dying after sucking on the toys and digesting a couple of the magnets. It seems the magnets come out of the plastic molding easily. Swallowing one magnet would not be a problem but if two of the magnets were swallowed they could get into the intestine and pinch it causing a blockage. Well, this was enough for me. The magnets were “top shelved.” Well, the kids started school and as a reward, they received “rainbow stones.” Great idea, but what do I do with all these glass beads? Ahh, the magnets. I simply cracked open the plastic molding (though some didn’t need to be provoked), used the handy glue gun and glued the magnets to the backs of the rainbow stones. Now, all my magnets match, no odds and ends, and the kids can enjoy seeing their "rewards" on the fridge or white board.
