Smart Toys and Games Adds Lights to SmartMax

SMX_505 Build&Light (pack)[1]

Smart Toys and Games, Inc., producer of the SmartMax magnetic construction system, has introduced 13 new SmartMax sets that will allow children to create structures that light up, vehicles that move on their own, and new items to help create construction masterpieces.

In addition to multiple bars and magnetic balls, the new SmartMax Lighthouse and Build & Light sets each include two LED-lit bars for building houses, towers, and other structures that light up and blink. The accompanying instruction guides will help model construction ideas so children can learn how to create designs of varying shapes and heights.

All SmartMax vehicle sets complement and work with the SmartMax construction sets. The new pull back vehicle sets include Loading Luke the dump truck; Speedy Sam & Stan, two racecars in red and blue; Tommy Train, a train with hopper cars; and Rob & Ringo, a sports car and flatbed truck just waiting to race. An additional vehicle set, Pip & Pete Plane, features Pip a compact car and Pete the yellow plane. All vehicle sets allow children ages 3 and up to build various vehicles. Magnetic bars, wheels, cockpits, propellers, and friendly eyes are just a few parts that can be used to personalize each vehicle.

Tommy Train can stretch up to 35 cm in length and is perfect for transporting loads of magnetic bars or balls included in the packaging, or even small items found around the house. Pip & Pete Plane, Rob & Ringo, and Speedy Sam & Stan are perfect to share with friends because children can easily create two separate vehicles.

New add on component sets come in transparent containers and include: six long bars, eight metal balls, eight medium bars, eight curved bars, six mixed medium and large glow- in-the-dark bars, and four flowers. All SmartMax items can be used with all other SmartMax sets.

The entire 2013 SmartMax product line will be available online here in June.
