Ages 3+
Open up new directions for magnetic tile play with the Connetix 36 Piece Rainbow Portal Pack. Featuring three square sizes in eight vibrant rainbow colours, this clever expansion pack introduces open frame portal tiles and Smart Spin technology for even more possibilities when building, experimenting and creating.
Designed to work seamlessly with existing Connetix magnetic tiles, the Portal Pack gives children new ways to explore movement, structure, symmetry and engineering through hands on, open ended play. Mini squares feature Connetix Smart Spin technology, allowing the internal magnets to rotate up to 360° so pieces can connect in new directions and bring movement into their creations.
Made with the quality and attention to detail Connetix is known for, each tile is crafted from non toxic ABS plastic and secured using ultrasonic welding and rivets for added strength and durability. The signature bevelled design creates beautiful light refractions while helping these magnetic tiles stand up to years of enthusiastic building.

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.
