I Tested the 14 Best Magnetic Tiles and Blocks

Magnetic tiles and blocks have become insanely popular recently, particularly for boosting STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) learning.

They come in all sorts of geometric shapes and bright colors, and they’re definitely a step up from traditional wooden building blocks and Legos.

The magnets inside allow toddlers and kids to snap them together much more easily and build all kinds of cool stuff!

Best Magnetic Tiles: Connetix

They are high-quality tiles with rivets to make them strong, and they also have very strong magnets.

Best Budget Magnetic Tiles: Picasso Tiles

They’re made of non-toxic soft foam, perfect for bathtime fun. They float in water, and the magnets will stick to your tub if it’s metal.

Best Magnetic Blocks: Blockaroo

Superspace tiles are jumbo magnetic panels you snap together to build life-sized formations. I mean, who doesn’t want to build a fort with huge magnetic tiles?
