SmartMax Mega Ball Run – A Toy for EVERYONE!

April 18, 2016 by Tiffany 77 Comments

Disclosure review

Would it be completely out of sorts to start my review by saying that toys can be for adults too? When I saw the SmartMax Mega Ball Run, sure I knew that my kids would like it because of course they would… but how many toys can I really say that I’ll have a blast getting on the floor and playing with them? Not many. So yes, I was excited to receive the SmartMax Mega Ball Run.

DSC_4515

Construction toys are not only fun for the kids (and me!) but they’re so good for the mind.  Smart Toys & Games, Inc. brings us this awesome magnetic ball run where your children construct their own path for the balls. They develop strategies and challenge their cognitive skills as they snap and click pieces together. You have to determine which sizes pieces will fit where and how sturdy your base pieces have to be to maintain the structure you’ve built on top of them. They’ll go wild with creativity but also increase their skills with the more they build. The recommended age is 3+ and I can see the buildings grow as your children do, from small slides to large, intricate tracks!

DSC_4574

On the topic of the age, I’d like to mention that unlike most of the magnetic building toys out there, SmartMax Mega Ball Run balls are 1.8-inches in diameter, meaning that those of us with babies don’t have to worry that a piece will be swallowed! We’ve kept little toys out of my home for years because we almost always have a baby and without supervision, we were really concerned. I am completely in love with the fact that we can play with the baby around with no trouble! Plus, she enjoys watching the ball fly down the slides! The team at Smart Toys & Games, Inc. who made the decision to use balls that were non-swallowable are geniuses, someone tell them I said that.

DSC_4567

Once your children have put together the tunnels, tubes, and structures, they drop the ball into one for it to slide through and roll onto the floor. It reminds me of one of those obstacle courses that people make on television! There are infinite ways to create it, whether you go big or go small. Like I said, this is something that will have me on the floor bonding with my kids so I already foresee having races with them. I create a structure and they create one, then we see whose ball gets to the finish line faster.

DSC_4569

We’ve played with magnetic toys in the past but with the balls incorporated with this, SmartMax Mega Ball Run will be the one that stays with us. It will work for boys or girls and it’s not something I really think they’d ever be too old for. We will probably purchase several other SmartMax toys to use with it, increasing the already in-numerous ways to play!

DSC_4572

Buy:

You can purchase the SmartMax Mega Ball Run for $119.99 online and at Toys R Us, Target, Learning Express and other specialty toy stores nationwide.
