Squaregles Building Set: Engineering Genius or Just a Fancy Puzzle?

Summer is here, and with it comes the perennial challenge of keeping your kids entertained without losing your sanity. Enter the Squaregles Building Set, the toy that’s as versatile as it is confusingly named. With an MSRP ranging from $44.99 to $89.99, these sets promise endless summer fun for kids aged 3 and up. You can snag one on Amazon or Squaregles.com.

Here’s the deal: You get to build and explore with one of their popular sets, crafting whatever your imagination can muster—whether that’s a towering structure, a racing car, or a scribble masterpiece on the paperboard panels. The magnetic frames are a neat touch, sticking to the playset like they have their own gravitational pull. Take it outside to build on the deck or driveway, or lug it to the playground to show off your engineering prowess to the other parents. But let’s be honest, these Squaregles are probably just as fun for adults as they are for kids. Think of it as a way to channel your inner architect without the hassle of, you know, actual construction.
