PicassoTiles PTU05 Motorized Car Base - 360° Omnidirectional Light-Up Truck for Magnetic Tile Play

The PicassoTiles PTU05 Motorized Car Base is a self-moving, 360-degree omnidirectional truck designed to work with standard magnetic tiles and building bricks. Powered by 3 AA batteries (not included), it moves in any direction and features a built-in light that shines through stacked tiles. Ideal for children ages 3 and up, it encourages creativity and STEM learning through hands-on, pretend play.

How does the 360-degree wheel work?

The car base has a wheel that rotates a full 360 degrees, allowing it to move in multiple directions—forward, backward, side to side, and in circles. You can stack magnetic tiles or building bricks on top to create custom vehicles or structures. Once the base is powered on, it moves on its own, and light shines through the translucent pieces, adding a visual effect to the motion.

What can children learn while playing?

This playset supports educational development through play. As kids build and customize their own structures on the moving base, they practice fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Experimenting with different tile and brick combinations encourages problem-solving and spatial awareness. The moving element adds an extra layer of engagement, turning static builds into dynamic play.

Which play sets is this base compatible with?

The motorized base is designed for universal compatibility within the PicassoTiles range. It works with classic full-sized magnet tile kits, construction vehicle toy sets, and building brick playsets. This allows children to integrate the moving base into existing collections, expanding their creative possibilities.

What materials is this toy made from?

PicassoTiles prioritizes safety. The car base is crafted from ABS plastic and is BPA-free and non-toxic. All edges are smooth to help prevent accidental cuts or bumps, making it a safer choice for young children.
