Maximum fun with magnetism! SmartMax is a brilliant range of magnetic toys for younger kids. The basic component is the magnetic bars, which come in a variety of colours - opposite colour combinations will attract, and similar colours will repel. To these you can connect metal bars, animal pieces or a number of other exciting pieces across the range. This Start set contains all your child needs to explore magnetism and create designs of their own. It comes with 23 pieces - 12 short bars, 3 long bars and 8 metal balls. Suitable for ages 1 year and up.
