She plays with these Magna-Tiles every single day — the math on the 100-piece set works out

The 100-piece clear colors set is the kind of purchase you hem and haw over before finally hitting “buy” — and then immediately wish you’d bought sooner. My daughter plays with these every single day, sometimes for hours at a stretch, building everything from simple towers to elaborate houses with rooms and windows. The clear colors are particularly nice because the pieces catch the light in a way that keeps pulling her back, and the sheer volume of the 100-piece set means she never runs out of what she needs to realize an idea. The only downside is cleanup — a hundred magnetic tiles spread across the living room floor is a sight — but the trade-off is hours of quiet, creative, screen-free play that I’d pay far more for per hour.
