5 Easy Magnetic Tile Car Ramps You Can Build with Less Than 50 Tiles
Magnetic tiles are one of the best toys for sparking creativity and STEM learning. With just a few tiles, you can build endless structures, including ramps for toy cars! If you’re looking for simple and fun builds, here are five magnetic tile car ramps that only require 50 tiles or fewer.
1. The Easy Reverse Ramp (22 tiles)
This ramp is perfect to test out various cars on this 2 level ramp. You can add support on either side for stability, and watch your toy car glide down with ease. Watch the build tutorial HERE.
2. The Itty Bitty Ramp (25 tiles)
Isn’t this the cutest itty bitty ramp? You can close the back of the second level ramp for more stability. Take your builds to the next level with a two-way ramp. Build two inclines that meet at a shared platform. Perfect for racing two cars at once! Watch the build tutorial HERE.
3. Lightning McQueen Car Wash Ramp (37 tiles)
We used big magnetic tile squares to make to create this ramp that is wide enough to fit 2 Duplo cars. Perfect for little hands to build! Watch the build tutorial HERE.
4. 48 Magnetic Tiles Car Ramp (48 tiles)
This build is all about height and storage! Construct 3 level ramp using squares and triangles, then create a steep ramp that slopes down from the top. Leave some tiles open to store extra cars. Watch the build tutorial HERE.
5. Vroom V-Shaped Ramp (50 tiles)
For a more advanced build, create a V-Shaped ramp using triangles and squares. Secure each section with squares. This ramp is perfect for small race cars such as Hotwheels’ Flippin’ Fast cars that can easily flip both ways. Watch the build tutorial HERE.
Pro Tips for Magnetic Tile Ramps
- Start small: Begin with simple designs and add complexity as kids grow more confident.
- Use a flat surface: Building on a sturdy table or floor makes the ramps more stable.
- Mix and match toys: Incorporate toy cars, balls, or other small objects to explore how speed and gravity work.
Magnetic tile ramps are a fantastic way to teach problem-solving, creativity, and basic engineering principles—all while having fun! Try these ideas and watch your little ones light up as their cars zoom down their creations.
