Always look for the MAGNA-TILES name.
The MAGNA-TILES name is proudly displayed on every box and every tile we create. Our stamp provides peace of mind that decades of learning, care and craftsmanship went into your child’s toy.

(Over) Engineered for Safety
From our signature lattice that resists cracking, to extra press pins that keep pieces snug, every detail matters when it comes to your child's safety. We also pioneered the use of nickel-plated rivets for added security, and a unique "V-Lock design" to prevent chipping at the edges. Sometimes, it's the care and engineering you don’t see that gives you peace of mind.

Highest Quality Components
There’s a correlation between price and quality when it comes to premium toys like MAGNA-TILES sets. Our tiles are made with modified ABS plastic that’s free of BPA, phthalates, and toxic materials. Our magnets are also selected with little kids in mind, letting them build big, while also being able to easily pull them apart for safe, frustration-free building. Say no to icky stuff and to pinched fingers!
