I'm looking at other comments and I know this sounds like a dumb question, but are these the type of beads for stringing like jewelry?

There's are called NEOBALLS and they are 2.5mm magnetic sphere balls. They are NOT for small children, and it requires skill and patience to build stuff with the magnets. It's really cool what you can do with them. You can make cubes, jewelry, etc. Recommend for kids 12+, teenagers and adults!

These are illegal to sell in the U.S. as toys! Children have died due to the magnets being swallowed and sticking to each other in the digestive track and perforating the stomach wall.

Obviously I wouldn't give these to kids that are so young they're going to try and eat them. It's a choking hazard just like any other toy. These are more for teenagers as it requires skills and patience to build stuff! :)

Yes I am serious. It was on 20/20. I was going to buy some last year and then saw the show. The magnets were sticking on two sides of the digestive track and wore through causing the children to die.

They didn't give them to the kids. They managed to find them around the house that were dropped by the parent.

I found out they're called neoballs and there is a warning on their webside that says to be responsible with them and keep away from children and pets.

They are rare earth magnets. wonderful for scientific and artistic pursuits. "neodymium" is the material. (hence the "Neo"balls)

There are warnings on them, but I do not believe they are illegal... I have bought magnets from sites that only sell them, (to Adults) with warnings...

As with anything you give your children use common sense, and teach your children to not play with the adult items in your house...

With that said enjoy the world of magnets... It is the future of clean energy!
