PicassoTiles 5-in-1 Magnetic Building Set vs PicassoTiles 100-Piece Magnetic Tiles

Buy the 100-piece Classic Starter Set for a first magnetic tile set or for open-ended building; it has twice the tiles, five tile shapes and the strongest owner feedback of the two. Buy the 5-in-1 Construction Set if your child is vehicle-obsessed and wants a crane, dump truck and figures to act out a site. The Classic set is the better long-term base because it is compatible with all full-sized PicassoTiles sets, while the construction set is a themed add-on with fewer plain tiles. Both are BPA-free plastic with smooth edges and strong magnets, and both are rated for ages 3 and up.

• Choose the PicassoTiles 5-in-1 Construction Set if your child wants to build and play with construction vehicles, a working magnetic crane and figures rather than free-form structures.
• Choose the PicassoTiles Classic Starter Set if you want the most tiles and shapes for the money in play value, a set that grows with the child and one that combines with other full-sized PicassoTiles sets.
