Ages 3+
Take magnetic tile play on the move with the Connetix 50 Piece Pastel Transport Pack. Designed especially for little vehicle enthusiasts, this clever construction set combines magnetic building with wheels, movement and plenty of opportunities to experiment.
Featuring the iconic reversible transport base, two clear motion bases with real rubber wheels and a versatile collection of magnetic tiles, children can design everything from cars and trucks to trains, emergency vehicles, aircraft and their own completely original inventions.
Eight earthy pastel colours bring another dimension to building, with pink, berry, peach, mint, emerald, lemon, violet and sapphire ready to mix, match and explore. As children build, test and rebuild their creations, they can naturally explore STEAM concepts including magnetism, shape, balance, symmetry, stability and basic engineering.
Made with the quality and craftsmanship Connetix is known for, each tile features the signature bevelled design for increased durability and clearer light refractions. The tiles are made from non toxic ABS plastic, are BPA and phthalate free, and are ultrasonically sealed and riveted for additional safety.
Designed to grow with your child, this is open ended play that can begin with simple wheeled creations and develop into increasingly clever builds as their confidence, imagination and construction skills grow.

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.
