My 4 year old spends a lot of time with magnatiles, legos, Rescue bot transformers, and superhero figures

I have a question about marble runs! My kid would probably love that, but he has a history of putting things in his mouth (swallowed a coin 6 months ago) so I am super paranoid about marbles. When did you feel safe with the marbles?

OP / all - what age for the Magnatiles? My twins are 4.5 and it seems like they'd be into them, but I'm not sure if they'd be close to aging out.

Brio/ikea train tracks (they're compatible and honestly I can't tell a difference - we have both and they're all mixed up)
Art supplies

1) most used thing at our house is Art supplies—construction paper, markers, paint sticks
2) magna tiles and LEGOs tied
3) Dress up clothes & pretend play stuff: toy dr. kit, play kitchen/play food, toy cash register
4) toy vehicles, baby dolls, barbies, animal figurines all tied for last place but still do get regularly played with

Stuff we have that never gets played w and I plan to give away or put away and save til they’re older:
Brio Train tracks + trains
Dollhouse
Little people figures and buildings (little people school, barn, etc) and playmobil sets (which we have a TON of thanks to grandparents)
Board games
Any “STEM” sets or other building toys besides magnatiles and Legos
Any craft kits

Also, magnetic dolls and their clothes.

Is one brand of Marble Runs better than another?

Oh yeah, the marble run is really popular with our 4 year old. She also weirdly loves a whiteboard we got her. So obsessed with it that one of her Hanukkah gifts will be a new set of dry erase markers.

costumes and ninja turtle toy weapons
dinosaur figurines
duplos/legos

Train tracks (for the 2 year old)

Paw Patrol and Peppa figurines/play sets and the Brio train set. The paw patrol and Peppa toys often go into houses made of Magnatiles. Pretty much all her toys end up being used with the Magnatiles.

Not quite as much, but mine love plus plus, too.

Nugget!!

What toys do you have that get as much use as Magnatiles? The Magnatiles get so much use in our house compared to other toys. Would love to find some other toys the kids will play with as much.
