If you want one MAGNA-TILES set that can handle “I’m building a castle,” “now it’s a garage,” and “actually it’s a dinosaur zoo” all in the same afternoon, this is the one. The MAGNA-TILES Classic 100-Piece Set is the workhorse starter set for open-ended building—big enough for serious creations, simple enough that kids can jump in fast, and sturdy enough to get used every single day.

What’s included: 100 magnetic tiles in a variety of shapes and sizes for classic construction. This is the set that gives kids the building basics—so they can make 2D designs, 3D structures, tall towers, long walls, and everything in between.

Why it’s great: This is screen-free STEM learning that doesn’t require you to teach a lesson. Kids naturally practice spatial reasoning, geometry, symmetry, engineering thinking, and problem-solving as they build and rebuild. Because play is open-ended, it lasts—there’s no “finished” point. You’ll see kids test ideas, tweak designs, and learn persistence in a way that feels like play (because it is). It’s also a strong foundation for any theme: animals, community helpers, seasons, vehicles, fairy tales—whatever your child is into, the tiles adapt. (And yes, it travels well for grandma’s house, too.)

Who it’s perfect for: Ages 3+ and ideal for kids who like to build, kids who like to create pretend-play worlds, and kids who need something hands-on to stay engaged. It’s a great choice for homeschool families because it works as a daily STEM center, a quiet-time option, or a “hands busy while you read” activity. It’s also a solid gift when you want something that will be played with for years, not weeks.

Practical parent note: cleanup is simple. Tiles stack neatly, and you’re not sorting 37 tiny accessories. This is the kind of toy that earns its spot in your homeschool rotation.

Additional Information: This set contains products not manufactured by the seller. Please be advised that crates may contain small parts that may not be suitable for children under 3 years. Do not consume crate contents.

This set comes loaded with translucent magnetic tiles in a mix of foundational shapes:

  • 50 small squares
  • 4 large squares
  • 15 isosceles triangles
  • 11 right triangles
  • 20 equilateral triangles

These pieces snap together magnetically, letting kids build 2D patterns or 3D structures with ease and flexibility.

Educational Benefits

  • Geometry & Spatial Reasoning
    Kids intuitively learn shapes, symmetry, angles, and 3D volume as they build.
  • Patterning & Early Math Concepts
    Building repeated structures supports understanding of sequences, ratios, and fractions in disguise.
  • Fine Motor & Hand-Eye Coordination
    Manipulating pieces into place strengthens finger control, alignment, and precision.
  • Problem Solving & Engineering Thinking
    When a tower tumbles or a wall wobbles, children adapt, redesign, and innovate.
  • STEAM Integration
    This is math, geometry, physics, and art all wrapped in one colorful open-play experience.
  • Social Skills & Collaboration
    Working together on structures encourages communication, planning, and sharing of ideas.
