PicassoTiles 101pc Magnetic Tiles vs PicassoTiles 72-Piece Magnetic Tiles Castle Set

Both are PicassoTiles magnetic tile sets with the same strong magnets, BPA-free plastic and compatibility with other full-sized sets. The 101-piece Classic is the better open-ended builder: more tiles, more squares and triangles, and no fixed theme, so it grows with the child. The 72-piece Winter Ice Castle trades raw piece count for a themed build with character figures, stairs, windows and doors, which suits kids who want a story to act out. Owners of both report the tiles hold up to daily play; the Classic is the safer pick for a first set or for multiple kids, the Castle for a child who already likes pretend play.

• Choose the PicassoTiles 101pc Classic if you want the most building options per set and a kit that works for toddlers through adults.
• Choose the PicassoTiles 72pc Winter Ice Castle if your child prefers themed pretend play with figures, stairs and doors over free building.
