I read somewhere that Einstein was fascinated with magnets. I can honestly say that I share his fascination. There is just something cool about them. Buzz Balls and Chatter Stones are super strong and shiny magnets that are fun to play with. The concept is simple enough: you toss them up separately, and when they collide they make a funny noise. I am not gifted enough to tell you if the Buzz Balls sound like they are "buzzing" or the Chatter Stones sound like they are "chattering," but they both make a cool sound.
The instructions do say that you are supposed to "play above a soft durable surface." I agree. One of our boys dropped one, from a goodly height, and it did break. It was a Chatter Stone, by the way. So, we couldn't really chatter with it, but it still serves as a really powerful magnet. I think the Buzz Ball would survive a higher drop, but I haven't had the urge to do an expirement to see.
Let me just remind you that these magnets are too powerful for the little kids, but you probably already knew that. Check out the magnetic wonderment at Town Square Toys.
