Celebrate the International Day of Play at DCM with our friends from MAGNA-TILES!
Can’t-Miss Event: From build stations to collaborative play zones, families will have the opportunity to get hands-on with more MAGNA-TILES than they could ever imagine.
Plus, the first 50 children who attend the event will go home with a free MAGNA-TILES Set.
A Day to Celebrate: International Day of Play (June 11) is a joyful reminder of the power of play. It’s a day to celebrate, connect, and champion the belief that all children deserve the time, space, and opportunity to reach their full potential—through play.
Born in 1997, MAGNA-TILES is the original—and #1—magnetic building sets brand (Source: Circana / Retail Tracking Services / JAN–DEC 2024 / USD). Sold in over 80 countries and beloved by millions of families worldwide, MAGNA-TILES remains proudly family-owned and headquartered just down the road in Bolingbrook.
Inclusive, Generational Appeal: MAGNA-TILES are designed for builders ages 3 to 99. With no instructions in the box, play is completely open-ended—guided only by imagination. It’s screen-free fun that inspires creativity, confidence, and connection across generations and abilities.
In partnership with DCM, MAGNA-TILES employees will spend the day engaging with families, leading hands-on activities, and experiencing the joy their products bring to children firsthand. This initiative is part of MAGNA-TILES commitment to Promoting Meaningful Play and contributes to their 2025 goal of 400+ volunteer hours dedicated to play-based learning. It also reflects the United Nations’ recognition that every child deserves the time, space, and opportunity to play, unlocking their full potential.
We’re thrilled to partner with MAGNA-TILES for this one-of-a-kind celebration of creativity and play. Join us and our incredible community for a day filled with hands-on exploration—and as MAGNA-TILES says, let’s BUILD ON!
