Toy’s Tile Town Fire Station & Firetruck Magnetic Tiles Playset
Welcome to the World of Tile Town, where every build is an adventurous story waiting to be created! This “Next Level” Magnetic Tile Construction System allows kids to create their own world and make it come to life using TILE TOWN’S unique and Innovative ACTION TILES!
The Action Tiles provide movement and surprise to your child’s build.
The included fun and playful Action Figures are all about Action, Reaction, and Interaction, where kids, and the Tile Town Team, are the heroes of their own stories as they embark together on adventures limited only by their Imagination!
Check it out:
Join the Tile Town fire brigade and build a magnetic Fire Station.
This “next level” magnetic tile building system is so simple, just Click the magnetic tiles together to Build your own iconic Tile Town and then Play with the set at the end.
This playset not only teaches my grandchildren motor skills but they get a real playset they can play with at the end.
The action figures activate the action tiles to spiral down the firemen’s pole and spray water on the fire with the water cannon blasters.
All the sets work with other Tile Town magnetic tiles, so they can build, and rebuild their set in the way they imagine. Easy to clean up, too!
I know my grandsons will LOVE IT!

Local Free Events
Attending local free events as a family is a great way to bring the whole family to enjoy time looking at the lights, enjoying a special treat or taking a pic with Santa!
Our Behold Band will be playing at some local events, but the one at Duffield’s Farm will be one of our favorites!
Duffields Christmas Village will bring treats, pics with Santa, crafts, shopping, live music and sooo much more!
Check it out:
I also recommend the lights in Pitman, Mullica Hill Christmas Event, Philly Christmas Village and so much more … the best thing – those events are open and free to the public!
Christmas Service
Our church meets at a high school, we don’t have our own building yet, so hubby and I will be enjoying an early meal and looking for a great Christmas Eve Service to attend!

Maybe we can find a local one!

Loving these gift ideas and I have to have that Nellie Olson doll to go with my Laura Ingalls one! I have one made by the same company for Laura….from years ago and found the original book set my grandmother gave to me as a child on eBay and purchased it to go with. It reminds me of grandmother and I just love the book series too! And of course the show as a kid. Great items and checking out all of them as I need gift suggestions!
Those are all wonderful selection of gift ideas to keep in mind and the Magnetic Tile Construction System is something my kids would love for sure.
The LOL surprise party set is on Nila’s Xmas list , it looks brilliant , great value for money
Always love the family set gifts, these are great recommendations. We don’t have kids but hopefully this time we have Christmas PJs matching, my partner and I.
What a fabulous list of family friendly gift recommendations. I particularly interested in the Tile Town play set. Super creative!
The LOL big surprise box looks like so many fun surprising! Thank you for sharing this fantastic gift guide.
That Christmas Crew PJ set is so fun! I’ve never done matching sets and that would be so cute for the holidays. Those gardens sound like a lovely place to explore, especially in the colder months.
Love your family Christmas guide! Such great ideas, and nice selection of kids your. I love the firehouse tile set! Thank you.
There are so many goodies, but the LOL purpose is so cute. My best friend’s daughter loves these, which is how I got introduced.
This is a great round-up of gift suggestions! I just might get those matching pajamas for my family.
Can’t go wrong with a cozy blanket as a warm, thoughtful gift. Perfect for creating special moments with family!
I can’t believe how fast Christmas is approaching! I really need to start buying some presents, I am get so many great ideas from these gift guides!
I need a gift for my significant other’s younger daughter and family. I love your ideas for tickets to a local holiday event. Heck, I wish I could go to Longwood Gardens! I will see what’s happening in Asheville this holiday season as they clean out from the hurricane. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the idea of matching PJs and if we ever had kids it’s something I’d love to do. Thanks for sharing these family gift ideas x
I’m already eyeing the Toy’s Tile Town Fire Station for my nephew. I love building with magnetic tiles (even as an adult), and I think it’s great that they teach motor skills. And those L.O.L Surprise! Party balls seem like the perfect gift for my niece.
Hhhmmm….I like the sound of choosing from the local events available. I know for a fact I need to listen and watch some Carols.
The matching PJs are so cute. I always did slippers or matching robes, but not PJs…yet. I will definitely look into some cute ones to gift my family this year.
Nice lists! And you gave me an idea of what to buy and give to my love ones this holiday. Thank you.

I’m already eyeing the Toy’s Tile Town Fire Station for my nephew – who knew magnetic tiles would be so much fun? I’m especially loving the fact that they teach motor skills. And those L.O.L Surprise! Party balls seem like the perfect gift for my niece.
