How is this different from a standard Magna-Tiles set?

This set uses microMAGS, a smaller tile format, and comes with a metal tin and baseplate for travel. Standard Classic sets use larger tiles and usually come in a box or bag without a tin.

What age is this set for?

The recommended age is 3 years and up. The pieces are small, so keep them away from children under 3 and from pets.

What comes in the box?

55 microMAGS tiles (34 squares, 8 equilateral triangles, 6 isosceles triangles, 6 right triangles and 1 rectangle), a rectangle baseplate and a metal storage tin.

Can it be used without a table?

Yes. The baseplate gives a flat building surface, which is why owners use it in cars, on laps and in waiting rooms.

Is it safe for toddlers?

The plastic is food-grade, non-toxic MABS and free of BPA, phthalates and latex, but the small tiles are a choking hazard for children under 3.

What reviewers say

Owners like this set as a travel kit: the tin keeps pieces together, the tiles feel thick and durable, and it works well in the car and in tight spaces. The main complaint is size, since microMAGS are noticeably smaller than standard Magna-Tiles and get lost or dropped more easily.
