CONNETIX | Baseplates, Pink & Berry, 2 pcs

If your child already has a set of Connetix or Magna-Tiles, these two baseplates are perfect for taking their creations to the next level. 

Like baseplates for other building toys, they add extra stability to whatever your child builds. They’re also great for 2D creations—try building with Magna-Tiles or Connetix by a window and let the light shine through.

Each baseplate measures 30 × 30 cm.

The activity helps your child develop skills and is wonderful for your child's well-being:

• Makes your child unleash their imagination.
• Here, your child's fine motor skills really come into play.
• Strengthens your child's spatial awareness, which is essential for their future ability to draw in 3D, assemble a moving box, or fold a paper star.

Suitable for ages 3 yrs. to 11 yrs.

Building and construction play is educational, fun, and also time consuming. We'll leave out a long and tedious essay about how this type of play develops your child's fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and creativity as well as their understanding of geometry and interest in entrepreneurship.

With construction play, your child also gets hands-on experience with problem-solving when it comes to figuring out how to design the construction so it doesn't collapse. Your child's construction play with all sorts of building materials develops their patience. And it's just so cool and satisfying to construct a tall, tall tower or build the longest marble run ever, or to maybe create an impressive domino field and film it as it topples.

Do you know CONNETIX?

In 2019, a couple of parents in Australia came up with the idea for Connetix. Their children loved playing and building with magnetic construction toys, and the parents came up with the idea to create even more see-through magnetic construction tiles. At the same time, they designed a ball run that matched the magnetic tiles - and thus the original Connetix was born. Connetix are magnetic construction tiles that have a cleaner and more transparent design than, for example, Magna-Tiles. Connetix are much prettier to look through when your child builds in 2D against a window or on a light panel. They have two magnets on each side and match with Magna-Tiles and Cleverclixx - but unfortunately not with Magformers.

If you are going to play with ball runs, you should ideally have a set of square magnetic tiles (either Connetix or Magna-Tiles) as well as a set with ball run parts. The ball run packs contain no, or only a few, regular building tiles, so they need a few extra parts to look nice and be stable.
