Product Information

Our favorite way to use Magna-Tiles is on our garage! It is magnetic, so it’s the perfect canvas for my kids to create and make designs on. If you have a magnetic door in your house, you could use that, too! (We don’t have one, but I’ve noticed some doors that connect to the garage are also magnetic.)

Boat By JD’s Curious Company If you end up with water inside while you are cleaning, try to drain the water out by standing the tile(s) up vertically and resting on its side. Also, you could try shaking the water out or use a blow dryer but make sure to use the warm or cool setting as the plastic could get hot. How to Dry Magnatiles This idea to use the tiles on a Magna-doodle board is genius! It makes marks where the magnets are. What a great way to work on math skills or just create designs!

Let's be friends

Let your kids build a playground for their toys. Encourage them to think about the equipment they enjoy and let them replicate it. A 2D sailboat design is ideal for younger kids. It allows them to understand how they can put shapes together to create a picture. Then they can try and turn that picture into a 3D model. For example, it could be a sailboat, speed boat, pirate ship, or submarine. 7. Train By Little Toy Tribe You could make some mix-and-match creatures! Just draw on the tiles and make some fun looking creatures! Smaller kids can start with a simple 3D structure and make a village of little houses. By Happy Learning Moments

Using magnetic tiles to create faces is a fun way to introduce shapes to little learners. They will have to think about the elements of their face and shape. Then they will have to consider how best to create those shapes. After your Magnatiles are clean, you have few options for drying them, depending on how much time is needed until they are used again.

If you need something to keep your kids busy while you are cooking dinner, a Magna Tile ball run is for you. Most surfaces are fine for Magnatiles! Light table, carpet, magnet boards, metal baking sheets, refrigerator, and tables are great ideas for play. Lay your Magna Tiles on the light table and add water beads and scoops. Then turn out the light. The light shines through the tiles, making the water beads change color as they move around. Don’t have a set yet?
