Kids love magnetic toys.  I actually have a vivid memory of back when I was in preschool about them even.  (Well, that and the time I kissed a boy and he told on me…….lol.)  Anyway, one day, the teacher had a variety of magnets and materials that we got to test out.  She even showed us some metal filings that she could move from underneath the pan by utilizing a magnet.  It was a really fun day and I always wished I could have my very own magnets to play with.  While that didn’t happen, I did make sure to buy a magnet set for our kids when I started homeschooling.  These days, though, there are some really great toy options that are safe for even younger kids and I’m thrilled to work with SmartMax and showcase some great options for you as well as host a giveaway!

If you’re new to SmartMax, a great starter set to introduce them to your family would be the SmartMax Start+.   Geared for ages 1 and up, this 30 piece building set comes with a variety of sizes, shapes, and connectors as well as a colorful building guide to get kids going.

Because of the basic straight and curved bars in this set, they are easy to manage and create with.  SmartMax also uses a color-coded cold and warm theme so kids can learn about magnets that attract and repel.  The “Cold”-colored bars (blue, green, purple) attract “warm” colored bars (red, orange, yellow) while two of the like colors will repel.

The building possibilities are endless with this fun set and the kids have been busy building, tearing apart, and rebuilding constantly since these arrived!

SmartMax also recently introduced their brand new “My First” Magnetic Discovery Sets that engage and enthrall the youngest members of the family while safely exploring magnetic play and STEM learning. The SmartMax My First Animal Train features a magnetic moveable train, conductor, and three fun animals.

Geared for ages 18 months through 5 years, there really is no age limit on magnetic play as all five of our kids (with three being over the age of 5) love utilizing these pieces.

Kids of all ages can easily build this animal train as the over-sized pieces are chunky and easy to use.  Pieces simply click on the bars so kids won’t get frustrated!

Brightly colored, the My First Animal Train includes 25 eye-catching pieces that are compatible with all SmartMax sets so kids can continue building their collection.

Overall, we are really impressed with both of the SmartMax sets we received.  They are easy to use and the kids have created all kinds of unique creations as the possibilities are truly endless.  Our four year old even separated the train cars to accommodate their long lion, which was an idea he came up with himself to solve the problem.  We love the bright colors and fun that both sets offer as they really compliment each other and expand the possibilities.
