FAQs
What age is the SmartMax Start Magnetic Set recommended for?
This set is recommended for children aged 1 year and older.
How do the magnets work?
The magnets work based on a color system. Warm colors (Red, Orange, Yellow) attract cold colors (Green, Blue, Purple). Magnets within the same color group will repel each other.
Can I combine pieces from different SmartMax sets?
Yes, the SmartMax system is designed to be compatible across different sets, allowing for expanded creativity.
Are the magnets safe for toddlers?
Yes, the magnets are securely enclosed within the large, durable plastic pieces, making them safe for toddlers. The pieces are designed to be non-toxic.
How should I clean the magnetic pieces?
Wipe the pieces with a slightly damp cloth. Do not immerse them in water or use harsh cleaning chemicals.
What are the benefits of playing with this set?
It helps develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, spatial reasoning, and introduces basic concepts of magnetism and color theory through play.
What if a piece is missing or broken?
Please check the packaging thoroughly. If a piece is indeed missing or broken, contact the retailer or SmartMax customer support for assistance.
Troubleshooting
Pieces are not connecting
Ensure you are trying to connect a 'warm' colored bar (Red, Orange, Yellow) with a 'cold' colored bar (Green, Blue, Purple). Magnets of the same color group will repel each other.
Magnets seem weak
Check that the pieces are clean and free from debris. Ensure there are no strong magnetic fields nearby that could interfere with the set's magnets.
A piece is damaged
Contact the manufacturer or retailer for warranty information or replacement options. Avoid trying to repair damaged pieces yourself.
