We stock Magna-Tiles because they are the gold standard for magnetic architectural play. The internal lattice structure (the 'X' inside the tile) and the metal rivets provide superior durability and magnet security. This structural integrity allows children to build taller, more ambitious towers that hold together, fostering persistence and planning skills.
The visual feedback of Magna-Tiles is unique. The translucency means they work beautifully with light—whether on a light table or in a sunny window. We see children exploring colour mixing by overlapping tiles, turning a building session into a lesson in optics and colour theory.
Magna-Tiles also support open-ended play without a 'right' answer. Because the edges are flat and the magnets align automatically, children can focus entirely on their design rather than the mechanics of connection. From garages for cars to castles for dolls, the tiles become the medium for whatever narrative the child creates.
