I’m constantly on the lookout for used Magna-Tiles and rarely see any. When I do, they go fast. This isn’t surprising because families like mine find new ways to play with Magna-Tiles as their children grow.Magna-Tiles helped my kids build problem-solving and STEM skills thanks to the basic engineering needed to build structures. They have used creativity and cooperation when they build together, which is often. Source: @magnatiles

Pediatric Occupational Therapist Laura Petix from the OT Butterfly agrees. Petix says that Magna-Tiles help with key skills like visual-motor integration (which is needed for handwriting), visual perception (which helps with learning to read and recognize letters), kinesthetic and body awareness, creativity, and motor planning (which helps with executive functioning skills). Another benefit of playing with Magna-Tiles is emotional regulation since kids learn to need to cope with frustrations when builds go wrong or when a tower topples, Petix adds. When children look at cards, arrange magnetic tiles and try to recreate the designs, they solve puzzles involving matching, counting, patterning, and general critical thinking skills.the printable cards come in two scales ( four cards on one sheet that is a convenient card size and one design on one sheet that is closer to full-scale and is easiest to replicate) The set includes tiles in 12 different sizes: 38 3-inch squares, two 6-inch squares, 12 3-inch window squares in three styles, 46 triangles, four rectangles, four battlement rectangles, and two four-wheel wagons. Made from non-toxic plastic, the pieces are recommended for ages three and up. While the display on the box shows pink and purple tiles, the colors are randomized, so there’s a chance you could end up without these colors despite them being advertised.

The magnetic power of these high-quality magnetic tiles connect to create the most amazing creations. There are a lot of magnetic tiles on the market, but there is only one Magna-Tiles. Magna-tiles are used and loved by schools, childcare centres, and homes in Australia and around the world. The benefits keep growing as kids get older. “As kids explore and progress in their building skills, they are secretly learning about engineering, geometry, spatial awareness, and visual perceptual skills,” says Brenda Chilstrom from That Makes Sense OT. Chilstrom also believes that Magna-Tiles are the perfect toy for siblings to play with together and for parents to play with alongside their children. Their open-ended qualities leave no room for a “right or wrong way to play” and put everyone on a “level playing field and create opportunities for bonding and exploration together,” she says.

My daughter, on the other hand, tended to include little animals and dolls into her games, so it’s mostly houses, castles, and barns. Some tiles are clear and not magnetic, which may be disappointing to some children. Additionally, 30 decorative window pieces are not magnetic. The set also includes 45 cut-out squares; 48 solid-colored squares; six window pane squares; 57 triangles; six battlement rectangles; 20 rectangles; four large squares; two large rectangles; four play people; and four wagons.
