Ages 3+
Take magnetic tile building in a whole new direction with the Connetix 134 Piece Super Ball Run Pack. Packed with tubes, bends, staircases, magnetic tiles and wooden balls, this clever construction set gives kids everything they need to design, test and rebuild their own spectacular ball runs.
Children can experiment with height, speed, direction and movement as they create twisting tracks, racing runs and elaborate structures. The clear fluted tubes make it easy to follow the balls as they travel through each build, adding another layer of discovery to every design.
Made with the quality and craftsmanship Connetix is known for, each magnetic tile is constructed from non toxic ABS plastic with strong magnets, ultrasonic welding and bevelled edges for a durable finish designed for years of open ended play. Better still, every piece is compatible with the wider Connetix range, so their ball runs can become bigger and more creative as their collection grows.
Why You’ll Love It
- Turns magnetic tile building into an interactive ball run experience with plenty of opportunities to build, test and experiment
- Open ended design means there is no single way to build, encouraging kids to come up with their own tracks, challenges and solutions
- Clear fluted tubes let children watch the balls travel through their creations and explore concepts such as gravity, motion, speed and cause and effect
- A generous 134 piece set gives kids plenty to work with for larger, more complex builds
- Different tube shapes, bends, staircases and split pieces introduce new challenges and possibilities with every build
- Encourages hands on STEM learning through construction, experimentation and problem solving
- Compatible with other Connetix magnetic tiles, making it easy to combine with an existing collection and create even bigger builds
- Crafted from non toxic ABS plastic, free from BPA and phthalates, with the quality construction Connetix is known for
Perfect For
- Perfect for children who love magnetic tiles, construction toys, marble runs and figuring out how things work
- A great choice for school age kids ready for more complex building challenges and independent experimentation
- Ideal for open ended play, STEM learning, collaborative building and screen free activities

Caution: Contains magnets and small parts
Note: Unfortunately, due to the nature of the material it's made from the tiles can sometimes become marked during the manufacturing and packing process. Please know that these imperfections do not impact the playability of the tile and despite their very best efforts it is almost impossible to prevent some of the slight imperfections from occurring. They also recommended that the tiles be played with on a soft surface, carpet or rug especially if building tall towers to protect the tiles.
