Our Story
Meaningful Play Awaits
The Story of MAGNA-TILES Began Nearly 30 Years Ago
The year is 1997. With a van packed full of tiles, Rudy Valenta (father of 4 and the “Godfather” of MAGNA-TILES) is zig-zagging the country and attending education trade shows. Day after day, town after town, handshake after handshake. Little did Rudy know, he was laying the foundation for a brand that would revolutionize the way children play.
Meaningful Play has always led the way
We believe the best kind of play encourages kids to build, explore, and learn their own way. Through that they develop skills like creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration.
Play That Grows With Them
From first builds to imaginative worlds, MAGNA-TILES adapts to every stage of childhood.
Our Promise to You and to Every day
We don't take short cuts, especially when it comes to your child's safety. Many of us are parents of young children too, so our commitment to producing the highest quality magnetic tiles in the world is unwavering.
Every MAGNA-TILES set is backwards and forwards compatible. The set you buy today works with the very first set we ever made, and every new set we will make in the future.
The MAGNA-TILES brand is powered by a child's imagination and our commitment to intuitive, open-ended play. Nope, you didn't accidentally throw away the instructions. They were never there.
