Product
Will the Playwall damage my walls?
No, when applied to a suitable surface, it’s designed to be removable and renter-friendly. We recommend removing it slowly and carefully. Just be sure to follow the application steps and check your wall compatibility beforehand to avoid any potential damage.
Will all magnets work on the PlayWall?
Yes- most standard magnets work well. For best performance, use magnets that sit flat against the surface.
Can I apply my Playwall to any wall type?
Our Playwall is compatible across many surfaces, but it is not suitable for all wall types. It may not adhere properly to chalky walls, uneven or highly textured surfaces or wax-coated finishes, damp areas, or walls that are peeling or have been recently painted. For best results, the surface should be clean, dry, smooth, and in good condition before application.
What age are SmartyPals toys suitable for?
Most SmartyPals products are designed for ages 3+, but each product page includes specific age guidelines and safety notes to help you choose with confidence.
Are your products safe for kids?
Yes — all SmartyPals toys are made with safe, non-toxic materials and meet Australian safety standards and tests under the AS/NZS ISO 8124.1. Always supervise young children during play.
How do I care for my magnets?
Wipe magnets with a dry cloth and keep them away from moisture to preserve their quality.
Can I use the magnet sets in the bath?
Yes, our magnet sets are versatile and can be used in the bath, on the PlayWall, on the fridge, or any magnetic surface.
They’re designed for flexible, everyday play across different spaces.
