MAGNA-TILES are magnetic building tiles that click together on every side so children can build both flat designs and 3D structures. Parents, educators and families love them because they are easy to start with, hard to outgrow and durable enough to stay in the playroom or classroom for many years. If you are choosing your first set, our Best Sellers highlight the most-loved options, and the Building Basics collection is a simple place to start.

To build with MAGNA-TILES, children can start by laying shapes flat to make patterns or simple houses, then begin lifting walls to create cubes, towers, animals or small worlds. There are no instructions to follow, so the easiest way to get started is to explore how the magnets connect and then keep adding pieces to see what else is possible.

With MAGNA-TILES, children can build almost anything they can imagine, from basic shapes and color patterns to castles, rockets, zoos, racetracks and cities. 

The same tiles can be used for open-ended play, storytelling scenes, school projects and even light and shadow play on a sunny window or light table. For story-led builds and themed worlds, families and classrooms often choose our Adventure sets; animal lovers enjoy scenes built with the Animal
collection; and children who like ramps, tracks and movement explore our Cars & Vehicles sets.

MAGNA-TILES sets are ideal for children aged 3 and above. They are also enjoyed by older children and adults with a playful heart and big imagination, so the same tiles can stay in use for many years of play.

Younger children can start with sets from our New Builders collection and then add more shapes, themes and characters as their skills and interests grow.

Yes, MAGNA-TILES are often used as a simple way to bring STEAM learning into everyday play.

Children practice early math, explore shapes and symmetry, think about balance
and structure, and use creative problem solving as they design and rebuild their ideas.
