SmartMax, the brand behind the award-winning pre-school magnetic construction range, announces the arrival of Roboflex, two new toy sets that give children the chance to get creative to bend, extend and flex their bots into new forms.

Set to be a bestseller for the brand, Roboflex has already been given the nod from the toy industry, as it was selected as one of Toy Fair’s Hero Toy winners for 2022. This is a real coup for the brand, as the winners of this prestigious accolade have been picked from hundreds of entries by a judging panel of toy experts. Giving robots a magnetic makeover, the launch of Roboflex is a smart move for the brand.

Suitable for ages 3+, Roboflex proves robots can be flexible and lots of fun! Little ones can enjoy getting creative as they make their own colourful, crazy robots. The 12 piece set features new flexible, extendable magnetic bars that will add an extra dimension to the SmartMax playset. Budding robotics can choose their parts and then bend, extend, assemble and play!

The set includes an inspirational poster to follow, or little ones can create the crazy robot from their own imagination. Helping to develop fine motor skills and stimulate fantasy play – will your robot fly, jump, grab, wobble or drive? With Roboflex, littles ones decide!

For added robotic fun, Roboflex Plus allows you to make even more robofriends. The twenty-piece set offers budding creators even more parts to bend and flex to make a whole army of robots! The unique magnetic parts, bend and extend for hours of play and they work seamlessly with the core SmartMax range, to add an extra dimension to the wider construction toy.

Commenting on the launch of Roboflex, Karen Clarke, UK Brand Director for Smart Toys and Games said:

“We are so excited to launch Roboflex – having already been recognised by the toy industry as a hero toy for 2022, we are expecting this set to be another top-seller with our customers. Today’s generation of children have a growing interest in machines, so the SmartMax take on robots will give them a new dimension to play and discover – allowing them to get creative, building robofriends imagined from their own minds! Promising to have little ones engaged for hours, this set is so much fun and provides fantastic play value.”

Introducing young children to the world of magnetism, SmartMax also encourages logical thinking, motor skills and imaginative play from the very beginning. The simple, yet effective design of SmartMax engages young minds providing them with a platform to build their own unique constructions in a multitude of ways.
