No Limitations
PicassoTiles Magnet Building Tiles will let kids dream big and build big. There are basically no limitations here. The 100 pieces that come with the box are scalable, so kids can go as high as they want. With these tiles, they will learn to differentiate colors, geometrical shapes (including 3D forms), learn about numbers counts, magnetic polarities, and barebones architecture at an early age. There are enough blocks here to facilitate group play too, so you can bring these tiles to play dates and have 2-3 kids engage at the same time. The product does not include any how-tos/instructions though, so kids will have to figure things out themselves, which is something that's both good and bad, depending on your perspective.
They'll definitely have fun in the process though, with the tiles' smooth flat surface being comfortable, easy to stack, and pleasant to the touch. Plus, the figures come equipped with reinforced magnets, so kids won't need to apply any force to put them together.
Finally, all the pieces are whole, meaning that they have no cuts in the middle, meaning that they make the structures look glorious. With many different figures, kids will be able to create complex structures, with doors, windows, arcs, and more, making this product an absolute must-have for young but inventive minds.
Always Clicking
Magformers Basic Set is precisely what the name suggests. The 30 pieces that come with the package include 18 square figures and 12 triangular figures. Considering this quantity, some might find the set pretty overpriced but, crafted from high-quality ABS plastic with no BPA, these pieces are supposed to be relatively expensive. Plus, despite how few pieces come with this kit, the set is not as limiting as you'd think.
Kids will be able to use these squares and triangles to build different houses, towers, and even balls. The pieces will allow them to use combine, roll, and pull-up techniques as they build, letting the imagination run wild and creating various structures.
What also drives the price forward is the neodymium rare-earth magnets put inside the pieces, making sure that the figures never reject and that kids will always be hearing them click. Also, when playtime comes to an end, you can use these magnets to stack and store the pieces, ensuring that they take very little storage space.
Last but not least, when stuck, kids can consult the idea booklet that's supplied with the kit, providing inspiration and making sure that everyone is able to learn at the pace they're comfortable with, which also makes these magnetic toy blocks pretty versatile and easy to recommend to most parents.
More than Enough to Create
Dreambuildertoy Magnetic Tiles is the most comprehensive/complete set we've added to this lineup. The kit packs 120 pieces, including 30 triangles, 30 squares, 2 trapezes, 4 long triangles, 2 hexagons, 26 alphanumeric cards, 16 digital cards, 2 wheel sets, and a Ferris wheel set that's made from 8 components. Needless to say, with these many pieces, there's basically no limit to what kids are able to construct here.
The alphanumeric cards and digital cards come without magnets, so you can insert them into square magnetic blocks and use these cards to teach children spelling and rudimentary math. You can also leave the kids alone and have them build and play themselves, occasionally consulting the idea booklet when necessary.
The pieces incorporate rounded edges to ensure safe interactions, so you can leave the kids with no oversight. Plus, they're quite smooth, providing that pleasant hand-feel that makes kids want to grab and play with these figures. Thee colors are not as bright as advertised though, which is somewhat unfortunate given that kids are usually quite fond of bright colors.
Aside from that, Dreambuildertoy Magnetic Tiles provide excellent value, even without taking into account the beefy neodymium magnets inside these tiles with ~4,000-gauss strength.

They're also quite smooth and more than pleasant to the young touch, so kids will love interacting with these geometric tiles.

Toys ought to be fun and these are nothing if not fun, including a Ferris wheel, 20 triangles, 24 squares, 2 small rectangles, 2 semi-circles, 2 hexagons, and 2 wheel sets with magnetic titles. That being said, the kit also packs 26 alphanumeric cards and 16 digital cards, balancing the product's entertainment value with an educational one. Even setting these cards aside though, the pieces provide ample educational value, allowing the kids to develop creativity, problem-solving skills, manipulative abilities, teaching them basic architectural principles, and more.

Abundant Learning Opportunities
Playmags 3D Magnetic Blocks do not force kids to learn. These blocks simply make education fun, letting the kids learn as they play. What separates this set from most magnetic block kits is the sheer variety of pieces, including 26 squares, 14 windows, 4 four-sectional windows, 10 triangles, 8 x acute angle triangles, 12 equilateral triangles, 8 rectangles, 2 large squares, 13 colorful ABC and number Clickins, and 5 colorful windows Clickins. With these pieces, kids are not only encouraged to use imagination and creativity but also learn physics, geometry, mathematics, spatial reasoning, critical thinking, architecture, and more.
Equipped with strong magnets, the constructions remain stable, even when dropped from considerable heights. Besides that, fastened with rivers and supported by lattices, these tiles will last, even with multiple unruly kids using them daily. What's more, the rounded edges that these tiles adopt will make sure that kids do not injure themselves, while the smooth surface will make children want to pick up these pieces. The magnets sometimes rattle in the tiles but that normally does not affect the constructions' integrity.

What Are Magnetic Blocks?
Despite what some people might believe, kids like learning new things. What they don't like is when they're forced to learn at the pace they're uncomfortable with, using tools they do not care for and methods that do not engage them. These are not the words we would use to describe magnetic blocks though. On the contrary, these blocks are fun, engaging and captivating. More often than not, toddlers like playing with these blocks. While playing with them though, children are picking up valuable skills, from spatial thinking and math reasoning to rudimentary geometry and architecture. The learning opportunities are endless, limited only by the pieces that come with the sets. Usually, these sets are packing many varying pieces though, from basic squares and triangles to semi-circles, hexagons, wheels, even alphanumeric and digital cards. The best magnetic blocks include only rounded-edge pieces to eliminate injury risks and make sure the blocks' surface is smooth to make them pleasant to the touch.
When kids grow up, you can toss aside these blocks and buy them 3D wooden puzzles, LEGO train sets, and car model kits to facilitate even more education through entertainment.
