15 Free Kids Activities with Magna-tiles
Here is a list of fun, free activities that kids can do with magna-tiles! Keep them busy with these great magna-tile ideas for children.
We absolutely love Magna-tiles in our house! That’s why I wanted to write a post for you with a bunch of free activities that kids can do with magna-tiles.
We call them “magnetic blocks” at our house. The Magna-tile brand is pretty expensive (averaging around $1 per tile). But there are a ton of off-brand ones on the internet, and we love finding deals for them on Amazon.
Right now our kids have a huge bin of Magna-tiles (or their off-brand equivalent) for fun activities. One of their favorite things to do is to just build with them! It’s a different process than doing LEGO activities.
I mean this with all seriousness – every single household with children should have Magna-tiles in it, just like they should have LEGOs. It’s one of our favorite activities when it’s too hot outside to play (or too cold, if you live in a place with snow as opposed to Texas).
These are also screen-free, and they allow for hours of imagination. My kids love building houses for their LEGO figures or designing an entire zoo for their animal figures. Magnetic blocks allow for hours of entertainment away from a television or tablet.
