Magna-Tiles are colorful, magnetic building tiles that help students explore shapes, symmetry, and spatial relationships through hands-on play.
Ideal for open-ended STEM learning, students can design 2D and 3D structures while developing creativity, fine motor skills, and an early understanding of geometry and engineering concepts.

Tips
Introduce basic shapes first – Let students explore squares and triangles before moving to complex builds.
Demonstrate safe use – Show how to connect and separate tiles gently to avoid pinched fingers or tile damage.
Incorporate math vocabulary – Use terms like edge, vertex, symmetry, and angles during building activities.
Use challenge prompts – Ask students to build a bridge, tower, or a shape with a set number of tiles.
Encourage 3D thinking – Guide students to turn flat designs into standing structures like cubes and pyramids.
Tie into stories or science – Build habitats, vehicles, or landmarks connected to classroom themes.
Sort and count tiles – Great for early learners to practice sorting by color, shape, or size.
