34 piece mini magnetic tiles in a pencil case tin

A metal pencil tin fits where big toy tubs cannot. We pack these smaller shapes inside, ready to spill across an airplane tray or a diner booth before the food arrives. The lid snaps closed when it is time to walk out.

The metal lid

Children discover quickly that the tin lid holds magnetic edges steady. It works as a flat baseplate on a lap or a small table, so a little house stays upright when the car bumps along.

Small hands and smaller shapes

We scaled down our standard squares and triangles for tighter spaces. They click together with the same familiar snap, small enough to hide in a closed palm and quick to gather back into the tin.

Sunlight on tray tables

The translucent colored plastic catches window light in the back of the car. Colors throw small shadows across the metal box while someone builds a flower, a cube, or a tiny wall.

Packed before the check

Cleanup takes half a minute. The whole pile drops straight into the case, the latch clicks shut, and the tin slides right into a backpack side pocket or between the seats.
