– Magnetic Tiles Pastel Mega Pack, 202 Pieces

This is a really awesome toy which seamlessly blends outright fun with creativity, spatial / non verbal reasoning, geometry... I could go on, the applications for learning are particularly high with this kit, and the barrier to entry is particularly low, unlike with some more complex building toys. This makes this appropriate for kids of all ages really, with the possibility to create all sorts of complex structures without the hassle of small connectors or fixings. The pieces are robust and well made, the magnets strong enough to hold, but weak enough to easily separate. This is well balanced in that to create strong structures, kids must consider the tessellation of the shapes carefully. The look of the pieces is very good making the structures you can create very attractive. My only complaint is that this set costs £200 as reviewed, but just comes in a carboard box essentially. While this is somewhat eco friendly, there are a lot of parts in this set. They do snap together so it's not like other toys with small pieces where they just go everywhere and get lost, but at this price I'd have liked to have seen a proper container, especially as this is sort of the "master set". With that said though, the price is not a huge concern and if you think it's too expensive for your budget, there are smaller ones available to get started. What you get IS worth the money in terms of quality, in my opinion. Highly recommend this set.

This is a great quality set with so many open ended opportunities for play and creativity! With so many tiles and shapes to choose from, a great selection of colours, and a handy inspiration book, this pack provides hours of entertainment! The set is simply presented (I do agree with other reviewers that a container/storage box would have been nice to include, particularly at the price point) and the pieces nice and sturdy with strong magnets, yet still easy to take apart. If you are a fan of magnetic tiles, and you need a large set to fuel more creativity (or simply have 2 children that don't like to share haha) then this set is for you!

Absolutely LOVE this set. It's a bit pricey so I waited for a good sale, totally worth it. These are the most durable magnet-tiles on the market. Not only do they look great and work great but I feel confident that they are safe - now splitting apart and magnets falling out to he swallowed. I specifically love the pastel version of the regular colou.

Absolut ein Tolles Spielzeug für kleine Kinder. Wir lieben es zu bauen und durch die Magnete erst recht.

I'm SO pleased that I chose Connetix instead of continuing to buy Magna-Tiles. Such a difference between the two brands! Connetix tiles are made of a stronger material AND most importantly, the magnets are of a thicker width, AND those magnets are also run longer in length along the tiles. This means that the magnetic force in Connetix is much stronger. My son is able to build taller structures and stack them on in more complex designs without collapsing. The Magna-Tiles we have we just use for decoration and not for the actual building because they are so weak in comparison. The tiles are thicker because the tiles have a beveled design that is slightly raised. Besides being of better quality, the Connetix colors are so much more beautiful. I wouldn't say they are light enough to be pastel exactly, but the colors are much softer and lovelier to look at, and don't have the circus-vibe of the Magna set. This mega box has many more super large square tiles and more squares and larger triangle shapes at are much more useful to building. I would consider Connetix sets for the more, serious builds that your child wants to make and for kids that take their building to another level.

High quality, real thing, not a cheap ripoff. The tiles stick to gether and do not break easily.

brilliant quality
