Magnetic cards are formed by plural, coadjoining, generally planar, parallel layers. Outermost layers form outer sides of each card. At least a first visible image is provided on a first of the outer sides. The card includes a generally planar, permanently magnetized layer formed by one or more permanently magnetizable planar components that are fixedly positioned preferably within a frame between the opaque outer sides or a magnetizable material layer only -part of which has been selectively permanently magnetized. The permanently magnetized layer or permanently magnetized portion of a larger, magnetizable layer has a predetermined configuration which is related at least in informational content to the first visible image. A silhouette of the predetermined configuration can be magnetically reproduced by placing a card on a magnetically actuated fluid display panel. The permanently magnetized component(s) or magnetized portion(s) of the permanently magnetizable layer generates an image on the panel which has a silhouette identical in configuration to that of the permanently magnetized component(s) or portion(s). Two magnetic layers and two images on opposite outer sides of each card can be provided as well as visible images formed by depressions into the outer surface or cut-outs completely through a card.

A toy kit includes a ring base, a ring gem and/or a ring dome, and preferably a plurality of each component. A first work station for assembling a toy ring base with either a toy ring gem or a toy ring dome includes a base and an upright support structure attached to the base. A ram is movably mounted to the support structure so as to move between a most distal position with respect to the base and a most proximal position with respect to the base. The toy kit further includes a hollow, flexible tube having at least one open end, a particulate substance sized to pass within the open end of the tube and a liquid substance, and preferably a plurality of each. A second toy work station for assembling the tube with particulate or liquid substances includes a base and an upright support structure attached to the base and having a passage sized to accommodate particulates. A carriage is movably mounted to the support structure and has a holder configured to receive and retain the tube. A linkage is connected with the carriage so as to move the carriage to displace the holder alternately toward and away from the passage of the support structure. After particulates and/or liquids are inserted into the tube, a continuous loop simulating a piece of jewelry is formed by inserting a connector into both ends of the tube.
