PicassoTiles 100-Piece Magnetic Tiles vs PicassoTiles 101pc Magnetic Tiles

Both are PicassoTiles classic magnetic tile sets for ages 3 and up, and both are compatible with full-sized PicassoTiles sets. The PT100 is the better starter set: its 100 pieces include 8 large squares and a balanced mix of squares and triangles, which makes it easier to build tall, stable structures right away. The PT101 has 101 pieces but only 2 large squares and leans on small triangles and right triangles, so it suits kids who already build and want more shape variety. Owners of both report strong magnets, durable tiles and daily play; the PT100's 5-out-of-5 rating from 59 ratings is the stronger track record.

• Choose the PicassoTiles Classic Starter Set (100 pieces) if you want a first magnetic tile set with enough large squares to build sturdy towers, houses and castles.
• Choose the PicassoTiles 101pc Classic set if your child already builds with tiles and wants more triangle shapes, including right triangles, for detailed designs.
