CONNETIX | Pastel Starter Pack, 64 pcs

A great starter set for magnetic building, or a perfect add-on if you already have Connetix, Cleverclixx, or Magna-Tiles at home. 

This lovely set includes lots of different geometric shapes in beautiful pastel colours:

• 3 different types of triangles (8 of each)
• 8 large squares
• 32 standard squares

Perfect for building just about anything you can imagine.

This activity benefits important skills which are wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• Gives your child all kinds of opportunities to unleash their imagination.
• Here, fine motor skills are engaged.
• Benefits your child's spatial awareness, which is important for their future ability to fold a paper star, draw in 3D, or assemble a moving box.

Suitable for ages 3 yrs. to 11 yrs.

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

With construction play, your child also gets practical experience with problem-solving when they need to figure out how to build the construction so it doesn't suddenly collapse. Your child's construction play with all sorts of pieces, blocks, and other building materials develops their patience. Also, it's just so cool and satisfying to construct a tall, tall tower or build the world's longest marble run, or to make a really cool 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 with magnets, and the parents came up with the idea to create even more see-through magnetic building tiles. At the same time, they designed a ball run that matched the magnets - and thus the original Connetix was born. Connetix are magnetic construction tiles that are more transparent and have a cleaner 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 per side and can be combined with Magna-Tiles and Cleverclixx - but not with Magformers.

Connetix are made from ABS plastic, which is tough and durable and is also used for food packaging. Be aware that in order to make a large ball run, it's best to have a set of square Magna-Tiles or Connetix plus a set with ball run parts.
