Ages 3+
Open up a whole new way to build with the Connetix Pastel Portal Pack. Designed to bring fresh possibilities to magnetic tile play, this clever pack combines open frame portal tiles with squares in three different sizes, giving children more ways to connect, layer, nest and create.
Featuring 8 soft pastel colours, the different sized squares fit neatly within one another to inspire everything from intricate patterns and colourful tunnels to architectural builds and imaginative small worlds. Mini squares feature Connetix Smart Spin technology, allowing the magnets to rotate freely for more flexible connections and new building possibilities.
Like every Connetix set, the Portal Pack reflects the brand’s focus on quality, craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Tiles are made from non toxic ABS plastic that is BPA and phthalate free, with strong magnets, ultrasonic welding and rivets for added durability. Signature bevelled edges create beautiful light refractions while helping deliver the sturdy construction Connetix magnetic tiles are known for.
Designed to grow with children as their ideas and building skills develop, the Pastel Portal Pack can be enjoyed on its own or combined with existing Connetix magnetic tile sets for even bigger 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 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.
