Yeah but do others know what cow magnets are and why dairy farmers use them. So will send these images. GKids love playing with them. Spend endless hours looking for metal to attach to them.
But be sure the magnets don't get near your computerized machines. They can wreck havoc on the machines. Also, never get them near your computers. My computer teacher in college told us about the magnets. They will erase things.
Any magnet laid on a closed computer, any electronic tablet, anything electronic or phone, will mess up the screen.
Do not bundle any magnetic pinholders with any elctronics, when you are carrying them to a workshop because you can wreck the electronics!
A few minutes exposiure to a magnet can kill an e-thing dead!
It is better to take a poke-em-in-it old fashioned pincushion, than risk damage to your own or somebody elses e=stuff.
Not to worry ... I know the cautions and practice them!
