After a magnet for the nipper

Looking for a simple magnet, a horse shoe type would be perfect for a little one who loves science :-) I had a look on eBay and some of those can cause bodily harm to the unsuspecting:o
postscript...one of those pyramid type magnetic toys that you build would be nice if i can't find my first choice.

Thanks

    £1.25 from Hawkin - if you have a shop near you. Otherwise you'll just have to place an order to make it worthwhile - shouldn't be hard, in my experience! They also do a magnetic experiments kit for £6.99 and an 8 piece magnet set for £2.99. http://www.hawkin.com/

    Also see HERE for geomag and similar toys at good prices.

    Just like to add my endorsement to the post about https://www.hawkin.com.

    Bought my stocking-fillers from there - great range, pretty good prices and delivery so quick you'll think they teleport their stuff!
    Life should be a little nuts; otherwise it's just a bunch of Thursdays strung together.
