Connetix Pastel 120pc Creative Pack

Ages 3+

Bring big ideas to life in softer shades with the Connetix Pastel Creative Pack. Featuring 120 magnetic tiles in eight beautiful pastel colours, this versatile set gives children plenty of shapes, colours and pieces to build, experiment and create without a set end result.

A brilliant starter set or an easy way to expand an existing Connetix collection, the Pastel Creative Pack encourages children to explore construction, colour, shape and early STEAM concepts through hands on play. From towering castles and colourful rockets to bridges, mandalas, sorting boxes and imaginative small worlds, there is always another way to build.

Connetix is designed to grow with children as their skills, confidence and ideas develop. Younger builders can begin with simple shapes, colour matching and flat designs, while older children can experiment with taller structures, symmetry, engineering and increasingly complex creations.

Known for its quality construction and thoughtful design, Connetix creates magnetic tiles made for repeat play, giving children the freedom to build, pull apart and begin again.

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.
