Magna-Tiles® magnetic shapes are the vision of a Japanese mathematics professor who wanted to give his students a more hands-on experience when learning about geometric shapes and concepts. In 1997, Magna-Tiles® were introduced in the United States, with the goals of encouraging unstructured, imaginative play and exposing children to STEM concepts – and the rest is history.
Today, Magna-Tiles® are the best-known magnetic building blocks in the U.S. and have been successfully fusing math, science, and creativity together for over 20 years. Teachers, parents, and children love the dynamic and technical nature of our products.
