Mudpuppy magnetic puzzles come two to a box, with kid-popular themes such as outer space, unicorns and pets.
The workboard is a small magnetic portfolio that opens like a book, and your child can build one puzzle on each side of the open portfolio. Magnetized pieces hold easily to the workboard and stay joined together while a kid works to create two pictures. Introduce your child to puzzles that aren't babyish. One hundred pieces means there's enough to share between siblings and playdates, and every kid in the family can use these for years. It costs more than $100, but as noted in the many of the more than 9,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, families feel this toy is worth it for the play value and durability. This substantial set comes with 100 pieces, including squares (large and small) and triangles (equilateral, right and isosceles). Barbie can perform a concert on a Magna-Tiles stage, or a Magna-Tiles fort becomes the place for an epic Star Wars showdown. "My 7-year-old hasn't outgrown them, and she keeps finding new and interesting ways to play with them as she's gotten older." Indeed, once kids get past the preschool stage of just being thrilled to build anything, school-age kids use Magna-Tiles as a supporting player in their other pretend-play scenarios. "These have lasted us for years," says Marisa LaScala, our Senior Parenting and Relationships Editor. The editors at experts at Good Housekeeping are fans both professionally and personally. They're a staple of the modern toy box, a fun way for kids to experiment and build anything out of their imagination. Magna-Tiles were invented in Japan about 25 years ago and are the first of this kind of magnetic building toy with translucent, magnetized shapes that hold together. The following 11 magnetic toys all performed well both with our experts and families. We want to be sure a toy is engaging not just out of the box, but over time. Also, the magnets must be securely inside the toys. We check to be sure the magnetic parts are strong enough to hold together but not so strong that anything is difficult for a child to take apart and rearrange. Toys age-graded for children under 3 must have no parts that are so small they could pose a choking hazard.
Toys should have no sharp or hazardous pieces. When testing magnetic toys, we first look to be sure each passes federal toy safety standards. Good Housekeeping has a long history of testing all toys both in our Lab and at home with tester families. Aside from being less of a mess than many other playthings, magnetic toys provide rich learning experiences and are among our favorite STEM toys. Magnetic blocks hold together, so kid-built structures don't easily collapse, while magnetic puzzles and play sets can be used in the backseat of the car without pieces falling this way and that. Kids and parents count magnetic toys as among the least frustrating and most satisfying.
