• Build with a range of resources.
• EYFS, Mathematics
• Talk about and explore 2D and 3D shapes.
• EYFS, Understanding the World
• Explore and investigate how things work.
• EYFS, Expressive Arts & Design
• Make simple models which express their ideas.
• EYFS, Physical Development
• Offer children activities to develop and further refine their small motor skills e.g., pouring, stirring, threading, dressing/undressing dolls, small world, and construction.
• A versatile set of magnetic bars and balls, ideal for easy and collaborative construction.
• This set encourages collaborative play and exploration of magnetism with magnetic blocks, suitable for children 10 months and up.
• The Smartmax school set meets educational needs by encouraging creativity and promoting collaborative play. This makes it ideal for early years construction and loose parts learning, aligning with EYFS goals.
• Children can develop small motor skills and gain an understanding of 2D and 3D shapes. Using this set, they can explore magnetic properties by connecting cold-coloured bars with warm-coloured bars while observing repulsion in same-colour combinations. The Smartmax balls are universally attracted to all bars.
Additionally, longer bars feature stronger magnets, enabling them to lift more weight or form stronger connections. The large pack size further promotes collaborative play for group activities. The set includes eighteen long bars, forty-eight short bars, eight curved bars, and twenty-six balls, providing ample resources for diverse constructions.
