Bring bigger builds and even bigger ideas to life with the Connetix 24 Piece Pastel Rectangle Pack. Featuring three rectangle sizes in eight signature pastel colours, this clever expansion pack adds length, structure and stability to magnetic tile creations.
Each rectangle has been designed to match the length of two, three or four standard Connetix squares connected together. With multiple connection points and strong magnets, children can experiment with scale and structure as they create longer roads, sturdy towers, multi level car parks, impressive castles, rockets and more complex ball runs.
Made with the quality, durability and thoughtful design Connetix is known for, these magnetic tiles are built for open ended play that evolves alongside your child. From simple constructions to ambitious engineering projects, the possibilities continue to grow as their skills, confidence and imagination develop.

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 slight imperfections from occurring. They also recommended that the tiles be placed on a soft surface, carpet or rug, especially if tall towers are built to protect the tiles.
