Magnetic Building Blocks for Creative Play
Magnetic building blocks offer kids a fun, hands-on way to explore shapes, balance, and construction. At Toymart, we stock a wide range of children’s magnetic building blocks designed to encourage open-ended play, problem-solving, and early STEM learning.
These sets snap together using strong magnets, making it easier for young children to build towers, houses, animals, and anything else they can imagine. They’re colourful, safe, and reusable—ideal for solo or group play at home, in classrooms, or at playgroups.
What Makes Magnetic Blocks Different?
Unlike traditional bricks, magnetic blocks connect using magnetic force. This makes them easier to handle for smaller hands, especially for kids still developing fine motor skills. The click-and-lock mechanism also helps teach cause and effect, patterning, and spatial awareness.
You’ll find different shapes like squares, triangles, hexagons, and wheels that let kids build both 2D and 3D structures. As they grow, children can experiment with more complex designs and challenge their creativity with every build.
If your child enjoys stacking, try our Building Bricks & Blocks collection for even more construction fun using traditional brick styles.
What You’ll Find in This Collection
Our magnetic block sets are suitable for toddlers, preschoolers, and primary school-aged children. Many kits include learning cards or instruction ideas, but kids can also explore freely and invent their own creations.
In this range, you’ll find:
-
Starter sets with basic shapes
-
Deluxe kits with 50+ pieces and accessories
-
Magnetic tiles for flat or vertical play
-
Themed magnetic sets like vehicles, animals, or space
-
STEM-based kits that support engineering concepts
Each product is tested for safety and made from durable materials like ABS plastic with rounded edges. The magnets are safely embedded, reducing the risk of parts breaking or coming loose.
