Note: Winner of the 2003 Seal Of Approval from the National Parenting Center. From The National Parenting Center: “We are all introduced to magnets early on in our lives; our Moms use them to proudly show off our art work on the refrigerator. Apart from being picture hangers there are a wealth of mysteries about magnets, their properties and abilities. Feeling the power of magnets attracting and repelling each other got a real rise out of our younger testers. Parents thought that the instructional booklet was a real treat, well written and illustrated.”
