Ages 3+
The Connetix 64 Piece Pastel Starter Pack is a beautiful introduction to magnetic tile play, bringing together versatile shapes and soft earthy colours for building, experimenting and creating.
With small and large squares alongside three different triangle shapes, children can explore everything from simple flat patterns to detailed 3D structures. Build houses, castles and robots one day, then pull it apart and create something completely different the next.
Connetix is designed for open ended play that grows alongside children. As confidence and skills develop, simple builds can become increasingly creative and complex, naturally introducing STEAM concepts including magnetism, geometry, physics, symmetry and engineering through hands on play.
Known for its quality construction and thoughtful design, Connetix tiles feature strong magnets, ultrasonic welding and bevelled tiles designed to create clearer refractions and sturdy builds. The Pastel Starter Pack combines that craftsmanship with a mix of warm and cool pastel tones that look just as lovely scattered across the playroom as they do built sky high.

Box Size: 31.5 x 17 x 9cm
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.
