Ages 3+
Bring big building ideas to life with the Connetix Pastel Mega Pack, a generous magnetic tile set designed for open ended construction, creative play and hands on learning.
Featuring the classic Connetix tile shapes in eight earthy pastel colours, plus two car bases, this pack gives children plenty of pieces to build independently, collaborate with siblings or create something seriously impressive together. Rose, berry, peach, mint, emerald, lemon, violet and sapphire add a softer colour palette to everything from towering castles and colourful houses to vehicles, animals and intricate mandalas.
Connetix magnetic tiles are designed to grow with children and the way they play. Younger builders can explore colour, shapes and simple construction, while older children can experiment with larger structures, symmetry, engineering concepts and increasingly complex designs.
Made with the quality and thoughtful craftsmanship Connetix is known for, each tile is designed for strong magnetic connection, durability and long lasting play. It is an ideal foundation for a new magnetic tile collection, or a substantial addition for families ready to expand their existing Connetix builds.

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.
