What it does

A 60 piece set of translucent plastic magnetic building tiles in squares and triangles, for kids aged 3 and up.

Mix of large and small squares plus three triangle shapes
Magnets sealed inside each tile, per the maker
BPA-free and lead-free plastic with rounded edges, per the maker
Connects with Magna-Tiles, according to two hands-on comparisons
Translucent colors that let light through

A good first set for families who want magnetic tiles without paying Magna-Tiles prices, and the pieces work with Magna-Tiles if the collection grows. The trade-off is durability: the tiles are glued rather than riveted, the plastic scratches more easily, and some parents report cracked tiles after years of play.
