Playmags Magnetic Tiles for Kids – 100pcs Magnet Building Set for Toddlers Ages 1-5 | Stem Montessori Toy for 2 3 4 Year Old Boys & Girls | Toys for Toddlers, Preschool & Middle School Children

Let me first say I am not getting compensated in any way for this review. I am writing this because I had such a hard time deciding what to by because of all the mixed reviews for the various brands. I hope this will help some parents with their decision. I currently have 4 different sets of magnet tile toys: - 32 piece set Shape Mags (Purchased Dec 2016) - 2 Shape Mags 12X12 stabilizers .(Purchased March 2017) - 100 + 18 piece set Playmags .(Purchased March 2017) - 8 piece polygons Magna-Tiles .(Purchased March 2017) Our first set was the 32 piece Shape Mags. I put it on the kids' (ages 4 and 2) Christmas wish list. They loved it! Even after 3 months, they still loved playing with it, when most other Christmas presents were forgotten. The only problem was the 32 piece set is too small for 2 kids to share. After lots of research, I decided to buy the other 3 sets at the same time. Playmags had mixed reviews so I opened the set and examined the pieces before showing them to the kids. They were great! The plastic is sturdy and the magnets are strong. Maybe they fixed the problems that got them the negative reviews. Price Playmags 100 piece set + 18 click-ins (not magnetic) sells for $69.99 Shape Mags 120 piece set, including 16 fences and 2 people figures sells for $69.99 Magna-Tiles 100 piece set sells for $119.99 Magnet Strength Playmags, wins, hands down. One of the reviews said the magnets are too strong and caused pinching. Even my 2-year-old didn't have any problems with that. Magna-Tiles and Shape Mags have similar magnet strengths. Both are fine for building tall structures. Playmags just hold together better. Color Playmags and Shape Mags have the same vibrant colors. Magna-Tiles colors are a bit muted. I prefer the more vibrant colors, but it's just my opinion. Compatibility The sets mix and fit together perfectly. Conclusion 1st place: Playmags The price is comparable to Shape Mags. The magnets are stronger, which makes for sturdier structures. I prefer the more vibrant colors. 2nd place: Shape Mags The magnets are not as strong, but still strong enough to make whatever your child imagines. The stabilizers are a great addition. I highly recommend them to complete any set. If you really want the originals and you're willing to pay the extra $50 for a set of 100 pieces, then by all means, buy the Magna-Tiles. Other than that, I see no reason to pay more. Shape Mags are of the same quality and magnet strength. Playmags' magnets are significantly stronger. I plan to keep all 4 sets. If I buy another set for a gift, I would buy Playmags.

Great toys for children. My nephew loves these magnetic tiles.

My three kids and I absolutely love these Playmags tiles. This is our second purchase of 100 tiles. They have quickly become one of our favorite things to play with together. The kids come up with the most creative ideas, building houses, towers, and entire little worlds. I enjoy watching their imaginations grow and seeing how proud they are when their creations come to life. The magnets are strong, the colors are bright, and the tiles hold up well even with lots of playtime. I also appreciate how they encourage problem solving and patience while still being fun. It is such a great way for the kids to learn, explore, and build confidence without realizing it. I highly recommend these for any family looking for a fun and meaningful activity that keeps kids engaged and off screens.

We have 3 different brands for a total of 5x 100+ piece sets. I thought a comparative right up would be helpful for anyone looking to buy a set, and having a hard time deciding. We have 3 boys, ages 7, 4 & 4. 3-4 sets is what they need to be able to build big structures and not fight over pieces. Magnatiles: Pros: Super expensive, quality is great, but the magnets sometimes clash Cons: $$$$$$ Playmags: Pros: Half the cost of the Magnatiles, super durable, works with all sets, strong magnets, and the quality is great, Great value for the price-point Cons: When you buy a 118+ piece set, there are a lot of those letter pieces + inserts (18) that are included in the count, which really means the kids are getting fewer magnetic pieces Children's Hub - Pros: Lots of pieces, good price point Cons: Super thin pieces, I can already see that pieces have cracked and the kids are bound to break more. Magnets are nowhere near as strong. I don't think it was worth it. I would rather 3-4 sets of the Playmags, and buy a few larger support pieces/sets - and the kids will be thrilled. UPDATE: we received a newer set from children’s hub to try out, in response I believe to this post. They told me that they updated them and would like for us to try them out. Kids say: they’re great, they love how many pieces they got with the set. The tiles are still thinner in the center that the Magnatiles and Playmag’s, but they have held up to some rough play. The magnets are ok, but I still find that they don’t always stick as well to the other tiles. Maybe they’re not meant to be combined?!? In any event, we appreciate trying the newer set - and I definitely think take buying this set is worth it. At the $50 price point, you can’t go wrong. Buy 2 sets... they should hold up for normal play. BUT, they are definitely not Magnatiles and are not the same quality.

Very entertaining, the kids love it. I was playing with it. Good job whoever came up with this one.

J’ai acheté ces blocs de construction magnétiques pour mes enfants et je suis vraiment ravi ! Les pièces sont solides, bien finies et les aimants tiennent parfaitement. Les couleurs sont vives et attirent tout de suite l’attention des enfants. Ils passent des heures à construire, inventer et développer leur imagination tout en s’amusant. C’est à la fois éducatif et ludique, parfait pour stimuler la créativité et la motricité fine. Très bon rapport qualité/prix, je recommande vivement ce jouet !
