Smartmax Smart Toys And Games ® Magnetic Set, Grades Pre-K - 3 SMX501

Embark on a construction adventure at home or in the classroom! Children can use the guide to build projects or dream up their very own structures using the magnetic bars. Construction discovery set teaches children building concepts and lets them explore magnetism. SmartMax bars are coded by color for easy building. Bars in "cold" colors like blue, green and purple attract bars in "warm" colors like red, orange and yellow. Plus, larger bars have stronger magnets than the shorter ones. Generously sized pieces are easy for little hands to manipulate and hold up to 60x their own weight. Booklet with colorful illustrations guides you through projects and offers tips along the way. Includes information on the basics of magnetism, tips to strengthen structures, steps in building towers and bridges and presents construction projects in sequences that vary in skill level. Suitable for children in preschool through 3rd grade.
