You know that moment when your child finishes a rainforest book and immediately declares, “We need a jungle habitat… right now”? This set is for that kid (and for the parent who does not want to hot-glue cardboard at 9 PM). The MAGNA-TILES Jungle Animals 25-Piece Set lets kids build their own rainforest world and jump straight into imaginative play. It’s the kind of set that buys you a solid block of focused play time—without screens and without a complicated setup.

What’s included: 25 pieces total, including magnetic tiles plus jungle animal figures. The tiles click together easily for quick builds, and the animal figures turn a simple structure into a full pretend-play setup—treehouses, animal shelters, river crossings, and “explorer camps” are all fair game.

Why it’s great: Magnetic tile building supports STEM skills like spatial reasoning, geometry, problem-solving, and cause-and-effect (aka “why did my tower collapse?”). The jungle theme adds language-rich play: kids can sort animals, create habitats, and tell stories while they build. It’s open-ended, screen-free, and it grows with your child—today it’s a simple enclosure, next month it’s an entire rainforest with levels and bridges. The pieces are sturdy, easy to wipe clean, and big enough that you’re not hunting for tiny parts under the couch.

Who it’s perfect for: Ages 3+ and ideal for animal lovers, imaginative storytellers, and kids who like to build a scene and then play inside it. It’s also a great “quiet time” option that still feels active, especially for homeschool families who want learning to happen through play.

Unit study connection: Pairs perfectly with our Explore the Rainforest unit study. Use the set as a hands-on extension while you learn about rainforest layers and animal adaptations, or set up a jungle “story world” alongside your read-alouds. It’s an easy way to add themed, skill-building play to your homeschool day—no extra supplies required.
