I think magnets are really cool. I always have. My son Fisher does too, and somehow, I find it fascinating when this sort of coincidence happens. So when the Rocking Horse, a local toy store brought in Nanodots, these round, strong magnet sets, I pointed them out and didn't argue when he wanted to buy some (with saved up allowance).

The geometric possibilities are plentiful with these things, which could easily be mistaken for ball bearings. This shape started out as 24 nine-ball triangles. These triangles were joined into square-based pyramids, and the pyramids were joined to make this cube.

I'll post more images of the shapes we manage to make from the set, if only to keep an easily accessible record of our achievements.
