Bring the fun of pixel-style gaming into the real world with our mining-themed magnetic cubes. These 1-inch blocks snap together securely, allowing kids to create houses, trees, mobs, landscapes, and entire villages just like their favorite voxel-based worlds. Designed for open-ended building, they offer a screen-free way to encourage creativity, problem-solving, and STEM learning while keeping play fun and engaging.

Age Range and Play Benefits

These cube sets are designed for ages 4 and up, making them suitable for early builders, school-age kids, and even older fans who love to replicate their favorite builds in real life. Younger children enjoy stacking simple towers and houses, while older kids can tackle detailed biomes and interactive play scenes. Many parents also find these blocks are great for collaborative play during family time or as a calming, screen-free activity for after school.

Safety Standards You Can Trust

At Active Playthings, safety comes first. All of our mining-style magnetic cubes are made with BPA- and phthalate-free ABS plastic and contain securely embedded magnets. Rounded edges prevent sharp corners, while seams are ultrasonically welded for durability. Our cubes meet or exceed ASTM F963 and CPSIA toy safety standards, so you can feel confident they’re safe for supervised play. We always recommend checking blocks regularly for damage and supervising younger builders during use.

Choosing the Right Set Size

The number of cubes you need depends on the scale of the builds you want to create:

• 48–192 pieces: Ideal for beginners or smaller builds like houses, trees, and simple pixel art. See our CraftBlock Magnetic Mining Blocks (192 pcs) for a perfect mid-size starter.
• 320 pieces: Great for larger builds, multi-structure villages, or families with multiple builders. Explore the Mine World Magnetic Building Blocks (320 pcs) for more possibilities.
• 680 pieces: Designed for serious builders who want to create expansive terrain, large structures, or host group playdates. Check out our Super-Size 680 Piece Magnetic Block Set.

How Cubes Compare to Magnetic Tiles

While both cubes and tiles are magnetic building toys, they serve different play experiences. Tiles are flat and great for creating geometric shapes, towers, and 2D mosaics. Cubes, on the other hand, are 3D and voxel-based, making them the best choice for kids who want to recreate gaming-style builds, pixel art, or natural terrain. Many families enjoy combining tiles for decorative backgrounds with cubes for structured, realistic builds.
