SmartMax My First Stacking Rings – Magnetic Discovery & Building Set (1.5+ Years)

Introduce your toddler to the fascinating world of magnetism with the SmartMax My First Stacking Rings. Designed in Belgium, this award-winning early learning toy reimagines the classic stacking tower by incorporating magnetic science. It is specifically engineered for small hands, providing a tactile and educational experience that grows with your child’s curiosity. Whether they are exploring how pieces "click" together or building gravity-defying structures, this set offers a safe and engaging introduction to STEM concepts through open-ended play.

Key Benefits

Magnetic Physics Enlightenment:** Unlike traditional wooden or plastic stackers, these rings utilize magnetic poles. Children will intuitively learn the principles of "opposites attract and likes repel" as they feel the magnetic force pulling pieces together or pushing them apart.

Multisensory Skill Development:** This set is a powerhouse for early childhood development. It promotes color perception through its vibrant palette, enhances hand-eye coordination during assembly, and builds a foundational sense of balance and spatial awareness.

Safe for Exploration:** Constructed from premium, high-grade ABS material, every piece is designed to be durable and impact-resistant. The smooth, oversized parts are specifically crafted to be safe for curious toddlers who often explore toys with their mouths.

Creative Construction:** The magnetic rod and ring system encourages more than just vertical stacking. Children can experiment with different combinations, fostering imagination and creative problem-solving as they build unique shapes and structures.

Key Specs

Recommended Age:** 1.5 years and up (1.5+)

Total Components:** 10 pieces

Material:** High-quality, non-toxic ABS material

Packaging Dimensions:** Approximately 17 cm x 24 cm

Compatibility:** Fully compatible with all other SmartMax magnetic sets

How to Use

To begin, place the magnetic rod on a flat surface. Encourage your child to slide the colorful rings over the rod. They will feel the satisfying "click" as the magnets engage. Show them how some rings might resist each other depending on which way they are flipped, introducing the concept of magnetic polarity. Beyond simple stacking, the rings can be used to create patterns or sorted by color to help develop early language and categorization skills.

Care & Safety

To maintain the hygiene of the toy, simply wipe the magnetic rod and rings with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not submerge the pieces in water for extended periods to protect the internal magnetic components. Always inspect toys before play to ensure they are in good condition.

Notes

"My First Stacking Rings" is designed to be a child's very first introduction to the "magnetic principles" of attraction and repulsion.
