Building together with tiles, blocks and the race track

Samen bouwen met tegels, blokken en de racebaan

Children often have more imagination than we can ever keep up with. Give them something simple, and they'll turn it into something grand. That's how magnetic toys work. The Tilesminds tiles, blocks, and racetrack are fun on their own, but even more fascinating when used together.

The tiles as a base

The magnetic tiles are usually the starting point. They form walls, floors, and roofs. Sometimes, they simply form something that doesn't seem to make sense at first, but later turns out to be a tower. Children build, tear down, and try again. That's all part of the game. The tiles make it easy to create something sturdy, so they're ideal for building from there with blocks or a racetrack.

Blocks give character

Once the tiles are in place, the blocks bring the structure to life. They add height and make it more playful. A castle with three towers, an animal enclosure, or a parking garage—it's all possible. What's fun is that children naturally start combining blocks. They place blocks on tiles, slide them between them, or build roads along them. Something unimaginable arises.

And then… movement!

The racetrack is often the favorite part. Children build routes through their city, drive cars over bridges, or create a race with a finish line. Everything they've built before suddenly has a purpose. The tiles are the environment, the blocks are the obstacles, and the racetrack provides the action.

Discover together

Building with multiple children is even more fun. Everyone has a task: someone builds the racetrack, someone else takes care of the buildings. This way, they learn to collaborate and plan without it feeling like learning. Parents often join in for a bit, not because they have to, but simply because it's fun.

There's no set way to build. Sometimes it's a city, then again a zoo or a racetrack with bridges and tunnels. That's precisely what makes it interesting. Every child has their own ideas, and the beauty is: anything is possible.

Magnetic building isn't about the perfect result, but about the process. The imagination, the experimentation, the laughter when something falls apart. That's what truly matters. And the combination of tiles, blocks, and a racetrack ensures that the game is never the same.
