Meet the NEW CONNETIX PRO line:
CONNETIX PRO: 70 Piece PRO Constructor Set
CONNETIX is levelling up magnetic tile construction with the launch of the PRO line – an advanced building experience designed for critical thinkers, future engineers and ambitious creators. The 70-Piece PRO Constructor Set – featuring smaller, refined, and opaque tiles in six contemporary colours and new post and plank pieces – offers limitless potential for older creators and kidults ready to build with greater complexity. With CONNETIX Smart-Spin™ technology – an innovation that enables ultra powerful magnets to rotate 360° within the tile and ‘click’ into place, builders are able to construct in exciting new directions and engineer like never before. Each pack is designed to grow with a child, offering endless open-ended play possibilities, skill development and family bonding opportunities.
Discover The Three New CONNETIX Ranges:
Light Star Pack
The Light Star Pack includes pentagons, squares, and equilateral triangles in all eight bright colours, plus a rechargeable light-up magnetic tile designed to transform construction play into a wonder-filled lightshow. With three dimming settings and the ability to light up one or both sides of the tile, children can experiment with the direction and intensity of light to explore colour mixing, refractions, shadows, and optical illusions. Featuring the CONNETIX unique bevel design, this pack takes light exploration and magnetic tile play to a whole new level.
Glitter Castle Pack
Add some sparkle to your play to step into a world of creativity and imagination. Featuring squares and a mix of isosceles and equilateral triangles in signature pastel and vibrant bright colours, each tile is packed with ultra-fine iridescent glitter that creates dazzling multi-coloured sparkle effects. Combined with the CONNETIX exclusive bevel design, these stunning tiles enhance refractions and brighten play from every angle. Compatible with all CONNETIX collections, the Glitter Castle Pack brings a touch of magic to every build and unlocks a whole new level of colour and light exploration.
Glitter Unicorn Pack
Designed for the unicorn lovers, fantasy dreamers and creative explorers, this pack is filled with delightful play possibilities. Featuring a stunning combination of glitter magnetic tiles in dazzling clear and vibrant bright colours of pink, yellow, teal and purple, plus a thoughtful selection of shapes in squares, hexagons, rectangles, triangles and trapezoids to bring your sparkly unicorn creation to life! Each tile is bursting with multi-coloured sparkles and features a unique bevel design to enhance every build and illuminate STEM learning possibilities. From creating stunning refractions to unicorn inspired birthday party decorations, building castles, majestic animals, transparent snow globes and so much more! Watch as children’s play evolves from creating simple 2D shapes to interactive designs, this construction toy will inspire open-ended play and learning throughout all stages of childhood and beyond.
Portal Pack
Step into a new dimension of CONNETIX magnetic tile play and unlock innovative ways to engineer and build. The Portal Pack features three different sized squares designed to nest together and mix-and-match, offering greater complexity and detail in designs. Large and standard portal tiles showcase a unique open-frame design with multiple magnetic connection points on the inner and outer edges, while mini-squares feature CONNETIX Smart-Spin™ technology - allowing magnets to rotate up to 360 degrees for dynamic construction. Children can build in new directions and discover exciting possibilities, from futuristic spacecrafts to intricate architectural wonders. Entirely compatible with existing collections, the Portal Pack is the ultimate STEAM toy, designed to inspire budding engineers, space enthusiasts, and aspiring artists with open-ended play possibilities and patterns.
With a focus on innovation and open-ended play, CONNETIX has thoughtfully designed each pack to grow with children as play and learning develops, offering limitless open-ended play possibilities, skill development and family bonding opportunities.
