Powerful play that moves with you
Turn pretend play into motion with the PicassoTiles Magnet Tile Car Base. This motorized add-on features a 360-degree wheel that lets the vehicle glide in multiple directions, while the translucent shell catches and disperses light for a dynamic, eye-catching glow as it rolls across magnetic tiles and building bricks. Simply power the base with 3 AA batteries (not included) and watch it come to life, inviting kids to narrate journeys, build cities, and choreograph imaginative missions.
Discover the benefits of building with motion
As children stack tiles and bricks atop the car base, they naturally explore cause-and-effect, while the motorized movement adds a tactile layer to pretend play. The combination of movement, color, and light can make storytelling more immersive, helping little builders translate ideas into real, tangible structures.

Real-life play scenarios
Imagine a bright afternoon in the living room: children stack magnetic tiles to form a city block, then place the motorized car base on top to drive a tiny convoy through busy streets.

The light-up element adds a subtle, engaging glow that can accompany bedtime storytelling or quiet creative sessions.
