Why it works

The tiles cling together by their magnets, so at 3 they can already put up a house without it falling down at the first attempt and without asking for help. There are squares, several kinds of triangle and pieces with a window, for building flat or in 3D. It is from Educa, a long-established Spanish brand.

Our verdict

A good first building toy between the ages of 3 and 5. If there are already magnetic tiles of another brand at home, check the size before adding to them.

They will like it if

  • they are not yet strong enough to push bricks together

  • from 6 or 7 they want something more complex
