Dowling Magnets - 736606 Magnet Marbles (.63 inch in Diameter), Clear Dish, Small, Set of 20

These may look like the toy magnets on AMAZON and ebay.. but they are not! They are just multi colored dowel magnets. They are glass encased (like a marble) other reviewers have said they are plastic and fell apart...no they are in fact glass incased magnets (not very magnetic, which is for its actual purpose) These are not for children, they can break into sharp glass pieces. USE THESE AS INTENDED before you review it with ignorance.

Not very magnetic

I was hoping they would come packaged in that neat little disc, but they just came in a bag. I have since stored them in another box with my therapy supplies. They aren't super strong magnets, but they get the job done. I did not have any broken marbles upon arrival, as some other have stated. I assumed they would be plastic, so no surprises for me there.

These magnets are very weak. Not sure what is the use of it as it has very weak pull.

As a science teacher I used these for lessons on magnetism and to model atomic forces. Good strong magnetic attraction.

The magnets are extremely weak and do not hold together even under very little pressure.

I bought the marbles to use with my sons learning supplies. We have a small box with a variety of magnets, and this was a great addition. The picture showers 3 packs of marbles, but you only receive one. The shipping was super fast, and I recommend this product.Warning: these are small marbles, not the larger size magnets that you see in stores. These are the size of a reg marble. Please be careful when purchasing for small children.

The size of marbles, there not broken yet so pretty durable, but the strength of the magnet is weak. They hardly stick together or to other metal objects. I rated low because they were not cheap and the magnet strength was weak.
