ConnetixPastel Mini Pack, 32 Pieces

Wasn't sure if these would be a hit with my daughter, but they are so satisfying to play with that not only her but the whole family enjoy playing with these! Opted to avoid the cheaper brands because I didn't want to have to worry about any loose magnets. 32 is a great starting point but we'll likely need to invest in more tiles to build some more elaborate things.

Both a game and an educational tool. This promotes all the normal behaviours you would hope for - grip, precision, hand coordination etc - but almost promotes working with others and teamwork to achieve results.Very popular in our setting.

My granddaughter was over the moon with this, they took it on the plane for her to play with, and she is only 3, it was a long haul flight and everyone remarked about how she was so well entertained.. a brilliant buy

A present for my 4 year old granddaughter who loves it.

Acquired these for the little one, the box is very heavy due to the amount of pieces and the premium quality of those pieces.The magnets work well and there is a good range of shapes to keep little ones entertained for ages. I used this by building shapes then getting the little one to replicate those shapes teaching building, analysis and replication skills.I would recommend this set purely based on the quality and the entertainment factor. My only caveat was the weight of the box which could hurt little toes if dropped.

Me and my two sons have enjoyed playing with this Connectix set… its even more fun as we now have multiple sets so we can build bigger and better things!One set on its own is a bit limited as you don’t get too many tiles so it limits your building capabilities quite a bit.The geometric tiles are well made with strong magnets and a plastic exterior.You can’t make perfect flush cubes with the shapes as the magnets seem to make the edges go slightly off.It’s fun to try and build tall towers or interesting looking buildings and it helps teach kids about strong physical structures to avoid collapses!This set contains:16 Squares8 Small Triangles8 Larger Pointy TrianglesAn inspiration book containing loads of things you can’t build as you don’t have enough tilesAlthough this feels like a decent, well made, well branded product, I feel the price is very expensive for what you get.

Great for imaginative play and cooperative playing. Not especially cheap but good value

My young niece really enjoyed playing with this building set. The parts are quite large and so it doesn't take long at all for something to take shape, whereas small building block sets take a lot more time and patience. The parts are all colourful and have a nice tactile feel to them and the attach together with a very satisfying clack. It really is a joy to build with and kept her entertained for hours.This set is quite small, but it makes for a cheaper introduction and as they're modular you can always add more in future. We're really pleased with it and would definitely recommend for little budding builders.
