We're scrapping the kitchen and just buying Attila tiny magnetic lead balls to play with. This way, we know what we're getting, so no need to worry about pesky recalls. If only there were some way to give them some sharp edges too...

This post made tea come out my nose because of my laughter. Thanks for making my morning. Who needs the Chinese anyway when we can sufficiently hurt our children ourselves?
I still have the heirloom "splintery board with nails" my folks gave me for Christmas when I was three.
Excellent. Do they come in different sizes? It would be nice if there was a "dropped heavy object on toe" alternative. Or a slightly smaller option for nose/ear insertion?
Were you going to get her the one that has now been recalled?
Oh, a coworker suggested cut up pieces of plastic to go with the lead balls.
I wonder if Kashka's board was the regular one or the upgraded one. You know, the one with RUSTY nails. That one cost extra.
When I was a kid we just had the bag of rusty nails, I had no idea you could get a splintery board to go with it!
Pusher- that is a great idea about making some larger ones for throwing at others and dropping. Why only hurt yourself when you can share the pain?
Of course the nails were rusty -- we are talking an heirloom here. Ah, the days of near-yearly tetanus boosters...
Next year you can get her "jarts"!
(Lawn darts - or do I not need to explain things to midwesterners?)
So did you watch the last episode of Grey's Anatomy? That was the first thing to come to my mind when I saw those magnets.
