FAQs
Where do I start and what pack should I get?
A starter pack or creative pack is always a good place to start. They are the perfect 'tile' packs to begin with. The creative or mega (if the budget will allow) packs are great for families with more than one child that will be playing, as they have enough tiles to share.
If you want to add to your collection there are a number of ways to go! Base plates and rectangle packs are great for creating big structures/buildings as they offer more stability. A ball run pack is a really popular pack as there are so many runs to create! The transport pack and car packs are great for kiddies who love anything to do with cars/vehicles! Any collection you add will be sure to give you hours of fun. Most packs come with ideas of what you can create.
Can you purchase a ball run pack on it's own?
Yes, of course. Please remember there are no standard tiles within this pack. We have found that the ball run pack teamed with one of the 'tile' packs works better as you can create bigger structures for your ball run.
What age do you recommend Connetix for?
Although all tiles are ultrasonically welded and include rivets for extra safety, your safety is paramount and so it is recommend from 3 years & up.
Connetix is definitely something for the whole family. School aged children, even adults enjoy building with Connetix.
It is a recommendation that younger children may benefit from working with a tile pack to start with. This is so they can get used to working/building with the standard tiles before branching out to the various expansion packs within the range.
Are Connetix compatible with other magnetic tile brands?Yes, Connetix are compatible with some other leading magnetic tile brands, however Connetix tiles contain stronger magnets than most so other tiles may not hold together as strongly.
