Connetix Magnetic Tiles 62 Piece Set | The Premium STEM Approved Educational Toy for Kids of All Ages | Stronger Magnets so You can Build Bigger | Encourage Learning and Development Through Play

These magnetic tiles are terrific! The magnets are really strong so very tall, stable structures can be built. These are new to the US market, which is why there are not many current reviews, but I am sure they will become a hit. I first came across them on several overseas Instagram handles and were amazed at all the awesome structures being built with these. I have done a lot of research into the different brands of magnetic tiles. These have thicker magnets than the popular (and expensive) Magna-tiles, but are still compatible with them. They are also more transparent than some of the other ones due to the beveled design in the center of the pieces. Overall, the 62 pieces are a perfect number to start with from the younger crowd. My toddler isn't at the point of building yet, but loves looking through the larger square pieces and shaking them to hear the magnets rattle. He also enjoys stacking the pieces and knocking down structures I build for him. I have built many "containers" for him to place small toys into. I also love the inclusion of windows and openings, which I have used to build "posting" boxes. I am not ashamed to say, I have spent time playing with this awesome set when my kid has gone to bed. I can't wait until they offer a larger set!After playing with these daily for nearly a month now, I'm convinced these are an excellent investment and will last us a long time. In fact, I purchased three more sets on Prime day to expand our collection and to give as gifts. These can build high towers! The image I included was a tower built with just one set and was only two sided; it's over 4.5 feet tall! As you can see the top of the tower even has triangles going every which way without issues. To say I'm thoroughly impressed by these tiles is an understatement.Since they are toys geared towards the 3+ crowd, I only allow my toddler to play with them under direct supervision. That being said, they have held up perfectly even with my toddler stepping all over them and knocking down countless tall tower builds. I have even stepped on them by accident a few times and they have not even a scratch, crack or, broken/bent at all. Of course, as with most toy, they aren't marketed to be indestructible; for that, stick with a tire swing or something. But with normal play (even kicking and knocking down high towers), these tiles hold up well and I can see them lasting us many years of play and being able to pass them down to other families afterwards too.Update (8/17/19): Still loving them! My toddler still loves stacking the tiles and pulling them apart. It has definitely strengthen his grip and improved his dexterity since it takes some muscles to pull apart the tiles (strong magnets!). We recently built a light table and the tiles look amazing on it (see pic). They make a striking sun catcher against a window too. The tiles really are so transparent and beautiful! This will be perfect to present the concept of color mixing in the future. I’m absolutely amazed at how versatile these tiles are!

The best tiles on the market! I’ve tried two other brands and these are the keepers. I’ve gone as far as donating my other brands because the magnets were so weak, it made it hard to do anything of size and picking up a small structure was not even an option with them collapsing. These tiles are smooth and nice to hold and just a great quality all around. The review on here about them being brittle is ridiculous. If I asked my husband to snap the giant tile in half, of course he could. He could also break every other toy in this house if he set out to do so. So they are not “husband asked to break” proof but they sure as heck are child proof in their intended use. My daughter has walked over them several times (she’s 18m) and we have had no issues. I guarantee you’ll be impressed by this wonderful company!

We've played with 2 other brand of tiles (Picasso Tiles and Magna tiles), but these are the first we've owned and they are the best! The magnets are the strongest. The color clarity is great. The structures you build are stable. My 2 years old got these for his birthday and LOVES them.

The strength of the magnets are amazing! I've not owned any other brand but am very satisfied with the ease the pieces click together. This makes it easy for the littles who are still developing their fine motor skills to build all sorts of structures. Plus with it being magnetic you can use them anywhere there is metal so there's loads of possible play variety. The clarity of the pieces are also amazing. Perfect for when the sun shines through them casting their lovely colours on the floor.Edit: Saw a previous review above and thought I should add my experience after some extended play. My kids are pretty rough with the pieces. They've been stepped on, thrown, tall structures crashing down, etc and we've not seen any obvious damage to the tiles. They're still relatively scratch free too surprisingly. I had expected them to be badly dinged by now.With regards to the packaging, they came in a sturdy cardboard box which we are still diligently using to keep the pieces everyday. Just a note the box was surprisingly really heavy when fully packed considering its size. I reckon it's the combined heft of the magnets and probably the material thickness of the tiles.

These are our first magnetic tiles whatsoever and we absolutely love them! Got them for my 2,5 year old son and he is very engaged in stacking and sorting or building a garage for his wooden trucks :-). Even our 1 year old likes to connect them. Not to mention how much I enjoy building myself. :-))Bought one set only but suggest buying at least two!

Great quality tiles. The color clarity is great and the magnets are stronger than other tiles we have gotten. Would definitely recommend them

We just purchased these tiles about a month ago and we have been loving them! The magnets are quite a bit stronger than the other 2 brands of tiles we have in our collection. A lot of times when we’re building with our other tiles and stick a triangle on top of a structure it’s hard to balance and it flips over, but with these it holds strong without wobbling. My 4 year old has played with these everyday since we’ve gotten them for her. We have been really impressed and plan to get more. The owner was also very helpful when I had questions.
