Magna-Tiles Classic 100-Piece Set
Plastic squares and triangles with magnets inside that stick together to make 3D shapes. It's a splurge upfront, but parents who buy them tend to say it's worth it: this is the toy that buys you a solid hour of uninterrupted dinner prep.

- Magnets are sealed inside the plastic pieces, not loose, which matters for a house with a preschooler
