How does it work?

The metal strip that surrounds each transparent disk is highly attractive when a magnet enters the scene. Try using our Magnetic Wand (WMWD-100) to collect the chips into a colorful pile.

Not magnitized - they are metal so they will stick to a magnet but that is not the point. Disappointing. Considering to use it as a craft.

we purchased the magnetic wands and color disks for party favors for son's 4th birthday. Most of the guests were between 3 yrs. and 6 yrs., and the kids immediately knew what the wands were and what they could do. I've heard from a few parents that their children enjoyed them all afternoon after the party.

Great fun for kids!

My daughter LOVES these counting chips. We have a magnetic wand, and she loves to organize the chips so that ALL of them get picked up in one swoop of the wand; she also likes to make chains of them. She plays with them alongside her Disney Fairies (the chips become cookies, or toys, or flowers in their garden) and we count them too. Lots of fun, and the colors are gorgeous. Definitely worth the $$$.
