MAGNA-TILES® Launches A Tidal Wave of New Themed Sets, Making the Ocean a Playground to Build and Explore

BOLINGBROOK, Ill., July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Maritime meets MAGNA-TILES® as America's #1 Magnetic Building Sets Brand¹ has launched a tidal wave of new ocean-themed sets, inspiring kids to build and explore an undersea world of imagination and play. The new sets are available now at MAGNATILES.com, major retailers and specialty toy stores nationwide.

The innovative new Ocean Collection builds on the MAGNA-TILES legacy with surprising elements, including the first-ever curved tiles to build domed observation pods for underwater explorations. The collection also features sensory tiles and soft-touch elements such as coral and octopus tentacle pieces. These innovative new pieces are designed to fuel young imaginations like never before!

"As a dad, I see firsthand how kids get totally lost in their own worlds when they're building. That's why we went all-in on this ocean theme," says Michael Valenta, President of MAGNA-TILES. "Our design team continues to push the boundaries of what's possible within our system of play. These new, organic shapes and textures bring the Ocean theme to life, while still remaining 100% compatible with the simple geometric shapes that our brand was built upon. I can't wait to see these sets land in living rooms, and I'm even more excited to see the stories kids dream up as they build with the Ocean Collection."

To every parent's delight, MAGNA-TILES also continues to expand their top-selling Travel Set collection this summer with seasonally-themed Spooky and Gingerbread House versions, both 24-piece sets. Available now and priced under $20, they are the perfect choice for holidays, stocking stuffers and every small giftable moment.
