TUKI Big Magnetic Foam Blocks - Smart 240 is a large-format magnetic building set containing 240 individual foam blocks, available now across North America at The Sensory Supply. Purpose-built for large groups, big playrooms, and commercial settings that need serious building capacity, this is the set for environments where 14 to 20 children build together at once.

Each block is made from lightweight closed-cell EVA foam and houses a rotating neodymium magnet capsule that ensures pieces always attract, never repel. Four colours - turquoise, grey, yellow, and pink - are distributed roughly equally across the 240 elements, giving large groups the variety and volume to construct at genuine scale. The Smart line's wider shape range, including cubes, truncated cubes, triangles, and diamonds, opens up more structurally detailed builds than the standard Builder sets.

Key Features of the TUKI Big Magnetic Blocks Smart 240

• Neodymium Rotating Magnet Capsules - Magnets rotate freely inside each sealed capsule so blocks attract from any angle, making construction intuitive and stable for children at every developmental stage and ability level
• Closed-Cell EVA Foam Construction - Each block is crafted from soft, lightweight, waterproof foam that doesn't absorb moisture, so surfaces wipe clean in seconds and disinfect thoroughly between uses - essential in high-traffic group settings
• Waterproof and Fully Floatable - Blocks float on water, extending play from the classroom or therapy room to the bath, pool, or outdoor spaces without any risk of damage
• Smart Line Shape Range - This set includes the full Smart series variety - cubes, truncated cubes, triangles, and diamonds - supporting more detailed, structurally complex builds than Builder-line sets
• 240 Elements in Four Colours - Turquoise, grey, yellow, and pink blocks are distributed roughly equally, giving groups of 14 to 20 children the material to build simultaneously across multiple collaborative constructions
• Fully Modular - Combines with All TUKI Sets - Smart and Builder blocks are universally compatible, so this set merges seamlessly with existing TUKI collections to scale any building environment further
• EN71-Certified, Non-Toxic, BPA-Free - Tested at an accredited research centre covering heavy metal migration, flammability, and mechanical safety; meets European EN71-1, EN71-2, and EN71-3 standards for professional institutional use
• Child Safe, Accredited Testing - Safety testing covered element migration including heavy metals, non-flammability, and the mechanical safety of toys
• Made to Fit - Every block is designed with exact modularity so elements connect universally regardless of which TUKI line or set they come from
• Light Weight - Individual blocks are easily lifted and handled by even the smallest set of hands, reducing physical barriers to participation for children of all abilities
• Durable Storage Bag Included - Each set comes with a robust, purpose-designed bag for organised storage and effortless transport of all 240 elements
• European Made - Designed and manufactured in Poland; laureate of Poland's "Toy of the Year 2023" award

Skills and Development Supported Through TUKI Building Play

• Fine Motor Skills - Gripping, placing, and connecting blocks of this size develops precise hand and finger control, supporting the dexterity children rely on for daily tasks and learning activities
• Gross Motor Coordination - Reaching, lifting, and repositioning large foam blocks through space engages the whole body, building cross-body movement patterns and physical coordination
• Tactile Discrimination - The smooth, soft EVA foam surface provides consistent tactile input, supporting sensory exploration and discrimination through hands-on handling of varied shapes
• Spatial Reasoning & Cognition - Planning and executing builds with a range of three-dimensional shapes develops spatial logic, problem-solving, and executive function that transfers directly to academic learning
• Social Communication & Teamwork - Building at this scale across a group of up to 20 children requires negotiation, resource-sharing, and communication to realise shared constructions - essential social development in action
• Creative Thinking & Imagination - Open-ended construction with 240 elements in multiple shapes provides genuine scope for complex imaginative play, encouraging children to design, test, and iterate without prescribed outcomes

Therapeutic and Developmental Context

For occupational therapists and educators working in sensory integration, the physical experience of handling and connecting these large foam pieces provides meaningful proprioceptive and tactile feedback. The blocks resist and respond in ways that engage the body alongside the mind, making this set a practical tool for sensory diets and motor development programs - not simply a building toy.

At 240 elements, the Smart 240 is specifically designed for environments where a large number of children build simultaneously. Therapists and teachers can design full-room movement paths, multi-station construction tasks, and cooperative group exercises that address both sensory and social goals within a single session.
