Tiny Magnets Can Cause Kids Big Trouble

Both by direct swallowing and by using as imitation body piercings.

If I get around to drawing magnets again I will have to rejigger the magnets I use and the way I attach them to the substrate.

My magnets did come unstuck! I have them tucked in a drawer but since bb is coming in a couple of weeks I may forego regluing them and just swap them out for flat magnet sheets (I have a supply lying around in a drawer) because of the safety issues. (It will be a while before the baby is able to root around and find magnets but I don't want to forget.)

PS Hugs to you!
