Tips for Choosing the Right Magnetic Tile Set

Looking for the perfect magnetic tiles for your child?

You are in the right place! Magnetic tiles are fantastic toys for children of all ages, but with so many options, choosing the right set can be challenging. Don't worry, we are here to help with some smart tips for selecting the best magnetic tile set for your family.

1. What Is Your Child's Age?

The first step is to consider your child's age. Most magnetic tile sets are designed for children aged 3 and up, but there are differences in the complexity of the sets. For children aged 3–5, it is often about simple shapes, colors, and building basic models like houses or vehicles.

Cleverclixx tip:
Our sets are perfect for children aged 3 and up and can grow with them, as the play possibilities expand as your child gets older. This means your set won't be quickly "outgrown"! This makes the toy sustainable and a good investment. You can always expand with extra or more challenging sets when one set is no longer sufficient.

2. How Many Pieces Do You Need?

Magnetic tile sets come in all sizes, from small sets of 20 tiles to giant sets with 100+ tiles. The choice depends on how much space you have to play and how much variety you're looking for in building possibilities.

If you're just starting, a smaller set is often a good choice. The Curved Packs or the Petite Pastel Pack are fun to start with. If you're starting with magnetic building and your child is already 4 or 5 years old, we recommend a slightly larger set of 100+ pieces, like the Inventive Pack. From that age, a ball run is also fun to add. They are a bit more challenging to assemble, and they need to have mastered the basics of magnetic building and spatial awareness.

Want to use magnetic building in the classroom? Then it is best to choose the Intense Packs. These contain tiles with primary colors.

Want to build really big? Then we definitely recommend our Mega or Large Packs.

Our unique race track:
Build your own race track with magnetic tiles. The Cleverclixx cars drive through the track of these specially developed tiles. Of course, you can combine them with our other sets. You can use the regular tiles to build tunnels or a parking lot along your race course.

Cleverclixx tip:
Our sets are easy to expand, so you can start with a small set and later expand as your child's interests and motor skills grow. Perfect for growing ideas!

3. Look at Quality and Safety

Safety is always the most important when it comes to children's toys. Cheaper brands may be attractive in terms of price, but pay close attention to the materials used. Cheaper tiles can be made of less durable plastic and sometimes even contain harmful substances.

Cleverclixx tip:
We use food-safe ABS plastic and ultrasonically welded magnets, ensuring our tiles are both safe and durable. We make no compromises when it comes to your child's health! Moreover, our products have the CE marking, meaning they meet the highest European safety standards.

4. What Are the Play and Learning Elements?

Magnetic tiles are not only fun to play with but also super educational. They help children develop motor skills, spatial awareness, hand-eye coordination, and even problem-solving thinking.

Look closely at the educational value of the set you're considering. Some sets are specifically aimed at promoting STEM skills (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), while other sets focus more on creative and open-ended play. Cleverclixx goes a step further than STEM. We proudly display the STEAM logo on our boxes.

What does the STEAM logo on Cleverclixx mean?
You may have seen it on our packaging or website: the STEAM logo. But what does it actually mean?
STEAM stands for:

  • Science

  • Technology

  • Engineering

  • Arts

  • Mathematics

Learning through play is at the core of STEAM. The idea is to encourage children to think like little researchers, makers, and problem solvers. They build, test, try again—all with a healthy dose of imagination.

Why is this important for Cleverclixx?
Our magnetic tiles fit perfectly within the STEAM principle. Children experiment with shapes, gravity, construction, and symmetry. They discover how things fit together (Engineering), how structures work (Mathematics), and use their creativity to make unique constructions (Arts). All without a manual—just pure curiosity and imagination.

By playing with Cleverclixx, children are not only "building" but also learning to think like real inventors.

5. Price vs. Value

Yes, price is of course an important factor! However, cheaper is not always better, especially when it comes to toys your child will use for years. Cheaper sets can wear out quickly, often have lower quality magnets, and are not always as safe, ultimately costing you more money. Choose a set that lasts, is safe, and grows with your child.

Cleverclixx tip:
We are proud of the high quality of our products and offer sets that are not only safe but also long-lasting. We want parents to know that with Cleverclixx, they are investing in long-term enjoyment. So you're not buying a temporary solution but a set that offers years of playtime for your child.

6. Unique Features of Cleverclixx

Why choose Cleverclixx? In addition to excellent quality and safety, we offer unique features that set our sets apart from the competition:

  • Strong magnets: This ensures that constructions stay together well, even with larger builds.

  • Unique figure in our tile: Each tile has a figure in the center, which helps prevent scratches and keeps the tiles looking nice longer.

  • Educational and fun: Our sets are designed to stimulate children's creativity and help them develop motor skills and problem-solving abilities in a playful way.

Conclusion

Choosing the right magnetic tile set for your child depends on several factors: your child's age, the number of tiles you need, the quality of the material, the play value, and of course, the price. At Cleverclixx, we believe in sustainable, educational, and safe toys that not only keep children engaged for hours but also contribute to their development.

So, whether you're just starting or looking to expand your set, at Cleverclixx, you'll find exactly what you need.
