Each corner piece has a little round metal rivet securing the plastic tiles. Magna Tiles and Playmags seem to be the most sturdily connected. They always seem to be first! So I would say their Metropolis 110 piece set is the best for size and shape options, and Picasso Tiles’ 180 piece set is a close second based on quantity and having some more unique shapes then their standard sets! Durability & Safety Magna-Tiles really has a handle on what kids want and are building and playing and it seems like other brands are doing more copying than creating. Winner based on SIZE and SHAPE OPTIONS: TIE Magna-Tiles & Picasso Tiles. So some added fun are also having things like windows, hollow squares, gates or swinging doors, stairs, wheel chassis, arches etc. Including large squares (“baseplates”), small squares, small equilateral triangles, right triangles, and tall isosceles triangles. Almost all magnetic tile sets come with the basics now. This can be a fun STEM option for other types of play and imagination.Īfter the sheer number of tiles offered, the shapes are another deciding factor. Magna Tiles has come out with a lot of different shapes and building options that are more architectural. Which can lead them to quit playing with the item and do something else. However, by around two or three years old (depending on the kid), they need to have around 80-100 pieces to really build and play without being frustrated from not having enough pieces. From around 18 months to around 3 years old for one child. We’ve found that the small sets (30 pieces etc) can be fun for toddlers. Kids quickly scale up the amount of tiles they can use at a time. If you are on a budget and/or have slightly older children, and really want to be able to purchase enough tiles to build large structures. Picasso Tiles are the more affordable option. So I would prefer they just called it an 82 piece set with bonus pieces or something. Most kids don’t really care about these click-in pieces and don’t consider them “tiles” to build with. And then 18 window clickins and ABCs to attach to the pieces. The 100 piece set includes 82 magnetic buildable tiles, not 100: 2 large baseplate squares, 26 small squares, 12 small equilateral triangles, 10 right triangles, 8 tall isosceles triangles, 8 small rectangles, 14 hollow squares, 2 window squares. But you have to be careful of their tricky marketing. I consider them a cross between Connetix and Picasso Tiles. Playmags Tiles are another newer option to the magnetic tiles market.
