Connetix Pastel Starter Pack 64 Pieces

The Connetix Pastel Starter Pack is the perfect way to kickstart your magnetic tile adventure or expand an existing collection. Featuring 64 pieces in soft, earthy pastel colours, this pack includes a variety of shapes such as large and small squares, equilateral triangles, isosceles triangles, and right-angled triangles. Designed to encourage endless creativity and learning, it offers limitless possibilities for building 2D and 3D structures, from houses and castles to robots and coin drops.

Perfect for STEAM learning, this set helps children explore magnetism, physics, symmetry, patterns, and problem-solving, all while developing fine motor skills and spatial awareness. Whether playing solo or with friends, the Connetix Pastel Starter Pack sparks imagination and is the ideal foundation for fun and educational play.

Educational Use:

• STEAM Learning: Introduces children to key concepts in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM), including magnetism, symmetry, geometry, and problem-solving.
• Develops Spatial Awareness: As children explore how shapes tessellate and fit together in both 2D and 3D forms, they improve their spatial reasoning and critical thinking skills.
• Creativity: With endless building possibilities, this set promotes imaginative play, encouraging children to create anything from intricate structures to abstract designs.
• Improves Fine Motor Skills: The action of connecting tiles helps refine dexterity and hand-eye coordination as children manipulate pieces to form their designs.
• Enhances Pattern Recognition: Sorting, matching, and arranging the tiles by shape and colour helps develop early mathematical concepts such as symmetry, sorting, and colour recognition.
• Open-Ended Play: The versatile tiles grow with your child, supporting increasingly complex builds and designs as they learn and their skills develop.

Classroom Ideas:

• Geometry Exploration: Use the triangles and squares to explore geometric shapes, angles, and symmetry. Encourage children to create patterns, tessellations, or build 3D shapes like pyramids and cubes.
• STEAM Stations: Set up a dedicated STEAM learning station with Connetix tiles where children can experiment with magnetism and physics by constructing structures that balance, tilt, or roll.
• Building Challenges: Create building challenges, such as constructing the tallest tower, a bridge, or a vehicle, fostering teamwork, problem-solving, and collaborative skills.
• Colour Sorting & Pattern Making: Encourage children to sort tiles by colour or create patterns within their builds, promoting colour recognition and early math skills.
• Storytelling with Structures: Have children design and build settings for imaginative play, creating houses, castles, or towns, then use them for storytelling or role-playing activities.
• Group Play and Collaboration: Perfect for cooperative play, where children can work together to build larger-scale structures, encouraging communication, teamwork, and shared problem-solving.
