Magna-Tiles Classic 32-Piece Magnetic Construction Set ($50)

These magnetic tiles come in a mix of squares and triangles in various sizes to create all sorts of forms, from castles to creatures. Throw in some toy cars, animals, dinosaurs, or people and the tiles become a backdrop for open-ended imaginative play. If you think your little one will be into these, you can buy larger sets that include even more shapes or opt for themed sets, but this is a fantastic starter option. Our editor gave these to her kids for Christmas a few years back and says they're the "most-used gift" she's ever bought them. For more details and photos, read her Magna-Tiles review.
