- A few different kinds of magnets. This wand magnet is safe and strong.
- Many paperclips, small ones are best but any will do.
Caution: Small, strong magnet spheres can seriously harm children when swallowed, so it’s a good idea to teach them not to put magnets in their mouth. Stick to buying magnets designed for children’s use. Magnets can also cause damage when they get near credit cards or electronics with magnetic parts.
