I'm making some cribbage boards and I want to use small rare Earth magnets on the slidding panel (on the bottom) that contains the pegs. Does anyone have a good source for small ones? Thanks

Rockler has them. Maybe even Lowes (?). I've gotten mine from Lee Valley, and it's a good excuse to order something else. LV has good stuff, reasonable prices, and customer service that's second to none.

Lee Valley has 1/8"x1/8", 1/4"x1/10", and 1/4"x1/4".

Which ever, keep in mind that the larger and thicker they are, the stronger they will be... Considering your application at hand, you don't need much at all.

Hartville has a nice deal, mixed set of 100 for $16 (http://www.hartvilletool.com/product/13195), if you think you'll need more down the road.
