Amazon has cut the price of its 100-piece Magnetic Tiles STEM Building Toys Set by 21% in a limited-time Prime deal, bringing it down to £26.98 from £34.29. The set has been a hit with shoppers, earning an Amazon's Choice badge and selling over 600 units in the past month alone.
What's in the set?
The set includes 100 brightly coloured magnetic tiles in various shapes and sizes, allowing children to build everything from castles and houses to larger structures. It also comes with two magnetic cars, and the open-ended design encourages imaginative play. According to the listing, the tiles are made from 'safe and durable food-grade ABS plastic' with rounded and sealed edges for safety.
The tiles are compatible with other leading brands and are said to help develop 'a range of STEM-related skills, including pattern recognition, and problem-solving, while also providing sensory play experiences'.
Shopper reviews
The set has an average 4.7-star rating from over 1,500 reviews on Amazon. One shopper said: "We’re really pleased with this magnetic tile set. The pieces are colourful, sturdy, and easy to connect, making it simple to build a wide range of designs. With 100 tiles included, there's plenty to spark creativity while also supporting STEM learning. It’s kept us impressed with the quality and has provided hours of fun. A great value toy we’d happily recommend."
Another added: "These are brilliant and keep my granddaughter (and me!) amused for hours. I bought a very cheap set previously, and the magnets were weak, so anything built would collapse immediately. This set has large string magnets and makes construction fun. The colours are bright and are useful for teaching the young ones to recognise colours. A great buy overall."
A third reviewer commented: "A brilliant set. Both my sons love it, endlessly fun, loving the creativity and possibilities."
Alternatives and minor criticisms
Some shoppers had minor notes, with one saying: "We love these and our toddler plays with them regularly. I’d like if the magnets were a bit stronger so builds didn’t fall down so easily, but overall very happy." Another simply said: "Need more squares!"
