About

Stretch your magnetic construction possibilities even further!

SmartMax spheres and bars connect to each other in seemingly endless configuration possibilities to provide little ones with a creative construction experience that's easy and fun. Add in the special clamps, extendable bars, and screw-mounted metal spheres and suddenly the construction fun is stretched beyond belief! Use the clamps to hang your brilliant structures perilously from tables and chairs. Grab the two extendable bars to push your creations to new levels of size and stability. Never let gravity inhibit your creativity again!

And... Just in case you were a little low on creativity in the first place, there's a special idea guide included helping you get inspired.

Lightweight, bulky, strong, and still fully compatible with all other SmartMax sets - Little creators never want to stop building and exploring once they get their hands on the SmartMax Build and Connect set.

Writer's block

Ours is about 3 feet by 3 feet, and on our left is the account's block. The marketing block is down the hall.

We're joking. Obviously.

Ours is at least 5 by 5, and on Wednesdays we're allowed to write in coffee shops to maintain the illusion that we're "successful" and "writerly".

Coming up with a write up for the simple sake of a write up does, however, become difficult when we're staring complete lack of creativity right in the face. But apparently asking management to cancel all the deals for the day isn't a viable fix.

As they so delicately put it, it'd be like a comedian having the option to suddenly cancel a show if they're not feeling up to it. Not on our watch, they said. You'll do a write up whether you like it or not, they said. And be funny, they said.

So here we are, doing a write up and being funny.
