Oidz - what do they do and where can I get one from?

[TwoToTango]

Latest christmas request from my ds - can't see them on the woolies or the toys r us site. Help.

oidz info

Argos, brightminds.co.uk and im sure lots of other places!
Not really sure what they do but DS2 has asked for some. I think you chuck them in the air to make a noice as the magnets attract together!

Thanks for that - might be a bit old for ds - hes only 5.

My ds2 is 7. Recommended for 8+ so yes he probably is too young at 5.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

I repeat NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

My parents got DS1 some of these and one of the DDs stroked them across the TV screen and left green steaks across it when the colour 'followed' the oid

Thanks all - I think thats a definite NO NO
