Great Introductory STEM Toy
I purchased these magnet tiles a month ago for my 2-year old for Christmas. She loves to stack things, build, and knock things down so I thought this would be a great addition to our building toys. I was so surprised at what good quality these tiles are as soon as we opened the box! Contained inside are:
4 large squares
24 small squares
18 small equilateral triangles
8 right-angle triangles
6 large isosceles triangles
This 60 piece set has allowed us to build a number of designs and is the perfect size for our 2-year old to play with. She has been able to easily attach the magnetic tiles to eachother to make designs and detach the tiles with ease. These have no pieces that I worry about her eating since all of the magnets are fully enclosed in the plastic shells. My family has played with these magnetic tiles daily, if not multiple times a day for the last month and they have held up well to a toddler flinging them around. They don’t seem to scratch easily or become dull in color. This set comes in a sturdy cardboard box that can be used to store the pieces easily.
I understand why this toy has been nominated for so many awards. It is an excellent introduction to STEM programs and is able to teach small children about shapes, colors, and spacial concepts for building. While our towers aren’t always structurally sound, my child is learning cause and effect and problem solving skills while playing with these. As an adult, I also find myself enjoying desiging homes and buildings with these Picasso tiles. I am very happy with this purchase and plan to buy a second set in order to expand our set in the future!
