SmartMax® stimulates: • Hand-eye Coordination • Logical Thinking • Colour Recognition • Form Recognition in 2D & 3D • Collaborative Play • Counting • Fantasy • Creativity Maximum Fun With Magnets: North - South Magnets have a magnetic north and south pole. The cold colors (green, blue, purple and white) have their north poles directed outwards. The warm colors (red, orange, yellow and pink) have their south poles directed outwards. Attract - Repel Unlike poles attract, like poles repel. All bars with a cold color can be connected to all bars with a warm color. All other combinations repel. Balls SmartMax balls are attracted by all bars, regardless of their color. More than 20 bars can be connected to one ball. Different Strengths The magnets of the long bars are stronger than those of the short bars. Long bars can lift more weight or make stronger connections. Safety: Don't worry about your toddler chewing or swallowing a SmartMax part. All our parts are bigger than 3cm and thereby don't fit a child's throat. SmartMax is made from high quality materials, which make the parts really strong. SmartMax parts are glued together and ultrasonically welded for final assembly. This makes it impossible for toddlers to tear them apart. Recommended Age Ages 1 and up
