9 Best Magnetic Toys (Review) in 2021

If you have a magnetic toy that challenges your creative thinking while helping with stress relief in mind, grab yourself a set of SPEKS Building Magnets which includes 512 tiny balls of limitless fun. Whether you are looking for a game that demands your full attention or simply want something that keeps your hands busy while your mind is at work, this collection of rare earth magnets will do the trick as you mold, shape and squish them between your fingers.

The weight of the magnets and coolness of the metal appeals to the palms of your hands – quite a pleasing feeling and one of the mainreasons why palm-sized magnetic toys and finger fidgets are currently so popular.

If you’re constantly fidgeting with your hands, the JOEYANK Fidget Cube will change your life. It gives you an outlet for the pent up energy, allowing you to focus on the task at hand. Made from premium anodized aluminum alloy, it has the heavy feel of a high-quality item. This speaks to the durability but also makes it more satisfying in your hand. It’s composed of eight small cubes that can be rotated in any direction, allowing you to constantly change the shape in your hand. If you’re looking for something to relieve ADHD, anxiety, and stress, the JOEYANK Fidget Cube is the magnetic toy for you. 

When boredom gets the best of you or if you find yourself a tad demotivated, the SPOLEY Desk Decor Base and Stainless Balls could be what you need to reenergize and regain focus. The idea is to drop the different sized balls on to the magnetic base, creating mesmerizing sculptures while you let go of the stress and find your mojo – think zen.

This magnetic puzzle set might leave perfectionists a tad more anxious than calm if they find the challenge to structure the differently proportioned balls harder than their OCD tendencies can bear! You can also gift this to someone who already has everything else.

Feeling slightly indecisive? Perhaps this magnetic fortune teller can set you at ease and assist you with your decision-making processes – all in the name of some good office fun? While I wouldn’t count on its accuracy and predictions, it’s quite the novel desk ornament and will pass some time during those moments of procrastination. And it is more handy that playing with a nerf gun in the office, right?

How it works: Kikkerland Magnetic Decision Maker uses a ball that spirals around a circular platform, this platform contains a number of answers (yes, no maybe, definitely, try again etc.) and as the ball slows in momentum, it will hover over its “chosen” answer.

This ten-pack of MagMen is one of our favorite magnetic toys. You can arrange them in a number of different ways, creating weird and wonderful statues. Each MagMen toy has strong magnets in its feet and arms, allowing you to attach them to each other or another piece of metal. However, the main reason we like these magnetic figures is that they double up as keyholders, refrigerator magnets, and more. Some people have even used them to hang up metal cutlery. They’re designed more for adults but kids enjoy them too. 

This next toy is aimed at younger children, but you still have some fun with it as a parent. It’s a set of 35 magnetic blocks that can be used to build five magnetic robots – Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, and Venus. They’re made from non-toxic ABS plastic and have strong magnets to keep them stuck together when playtime gets a little rough. These toys might not seem like much but they have a ton of developmental benefits including improving shape recognition, gross motor skills, and creativity. If you’re looking for a way to engage your kids, that doesn’t involve a screen, we can highly recommend this set of Gifts2U Magnetic Robots.

This set of 1000 Magnetic Balls from Carolina Milano allows you to get super creative. The idea is very similar to the SPEKS building magnetic toy and the Spoley Desk Decor products we’ve featured above – the small metal balls are magnetized so they stick together, allowing you to build any number of different creations. 

The main difference is the sheer number of magnetic balls you get. With 1000 pieces, split into 10 different colors, it’s possible to create detailed and impressive models. Not only does this help reduce stress, but it can also improve creativity and boost your mood. It even comes with an instruction guide with examples of other models. 

Next up, we’ve got another set of magnetic balls, designed to help reduce stress, improve concentration, and generally make your workday better. However, these Magnetic Balls are slightly different from the ones we’ve seen so far. For starters, they’re much bigger. Measuring an inch in diameter, they feel chunky in your hands and work as a great replacement for knuckle cracking or nail-biting. 

Another reason they’re different is the color. Each ball has a pearlescent paint job that really stands out amongst all the plain silver magnetic balls on the market. You get six balls in the set and they come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. 

This two-pack of magnetic putty is probably the most innovative product on this list. When you think of magnetic toys, your mind probably goes straight to fridge magnets, magnetic balls, and other traditional toys. This Magnetic Putty is completely different. It’s basically just standard silly putty with iron oxide particles inserted to make it magnetized. When it comes close to a magnet, it starts to move and form shapes on its own. 

It might look sticky in the product pictures but this magnetic putty doesn’t leave any residue on your hands. It’s made from a premium putty material and you can tell when you touch it.
