what age group are these tiles for?

My granddaughter used them in pre-school and wanted her own, so we bought them. They really demonstrate properties of solid geometry, so I'd bet middle/high school students would like to use them to build the shapes and see the relationships.

I bought them for my 4 year old because he had been playing with them in day care since he was 2.

I think 18 mos for youngest all the way up to preteen. They start off stacking, looking at colors to learning how to create buildings. It's really great for almost all ages

Initially I bought them for my grandson (who has Down Syndrome) at age 6.....however I believe any child over 3 years would enjoy them.

I added the Playmags this year so we had more wheels for my 4 year old grandson. My grandchildren, ages 3 & 4 loved the Magna Tiles so much, I added to them this summer.

2014 thru 2018. And you can order more tiles. It's for kids but I love it too! Too bad it doesn't have a few more tiles for adult activities like running or going to the gym, etc.

In the product description down the page, they state "Each tile is made of high density foam measuring 12" x 12" and .5" thick making it safe for children of all ages from birth. It is soft, washable, durable, and colorful. Thi set includes 25 pieces, 9 tiles and 12 edges, and 4 corners. The assembled mat covers a 3.6x3.6 feet (44" X 44")." I have trouble with my knees and can't get down to measure these, but I love them...we're thinking about getting some to put in front of my sink and stove because they are so comfortable to walk on!

I'm not sure of the recommended age, but my 3 year old plays with them. She's broken a few of them over the past few months, and she is a very gentle little girl. I'd say they are definitely made for kids older than her.

Children from 3 up have used these tiles. Many Pre-schools have them so many children are exposed to them there and readily enjoy having their own set at home.

My son is 5 and has been playing with these since he was 3, with no sign of losing interest yet. I don't know what the upper age is though.

I bought these for my three year old granddaughter and I think they have her do the puzzle on a table. I guess you could do any puzzle on the floor if it was not going to be disturbed till finished.

Not sure how old your grandchildren are, but I was a preschool teacher for many years and these magna-tiles were so great for all of the children, no matter what abilities there were. I would recommend buying whatever you can afford and add to that for special occasions, holidays, birthdays, etc.

I would say 5 and up. Anyone you would let use markers or paint. On some of the tiles we used that colored foil and it's "glue" for shiny designs. On some I gave my grandaughter all different sizes/colors of gems and she glued them on in her own creative way. You can also let them color the background with marker/paint and let them stamp on a shape cut from a sponge/foam dipped in their favorite color. Lots of ideas for all different ages. Hope this helps you out.

they are recommended for ages 8+, but I bought them for my 5 year old for his birthday this year and he absolutely loves them, he's better at taking them apart and putting them back together than I am, some of those pieces are just so tiny, even with having small hands they can be a pain for me to put together, but if you have a little one that tends towards being messy with toys, expect for pieces to be lost with-in minutes of opening the box.

Anywhere from 3 to 100 I'd say. We have grandchildren who are various ages and just loves these things. They are really wonderful and durable. Anyone can create anything with them. The more pieces you have the more fun it is!

Tiles are plastic. They don't always go into position easily, but once in they stay put.

Yes they are fine for 2 yr old also. They are nice quality. Only if using on a rug they're better with little sliders on chair legs/bottoms so child can move chair more easily. Very happy with purchase and quality - taken care of they could be saved for our future grandchildren ;-)

Yes! We initially bought the MagnaTiles and wanted more. You really have to look to figure out which tile is which. The colors are slightly different - but only slightly. My granddaughters (and other children who come) LOVE the tiles!

the tiles are 2" squares with a red background and black letters.....i feel it would work for an elderly person as i am also a senior citizen

I got them for my grandchildren - 3 & 4 years old. They love them. A little challenging for them so they can grow into them.
