A 66-piece expansion pack from Connetix, the award-winning premium magnetic-tile brand. Includes 26 connecting squares, 2 double bowls, 6 right-angle tubes, 6 U-shaped tubes, 8 spiral tubes, 2 X tubes, and 6 wooden balls in vibrant rainbow colors with clear fluted tubes.

Magnet strength: Connetix tiles feature strong ultrasonically sealed magnets that hold complex builds firmly—comparable to Magna-Tiles in durability and clutch.

Build material: Non-toxic ABS plastic (BPA and Phthalate free), riveted and sealed for longevity. Wooden balls are non-toxic.

Ages & compatibility: Recommended for ages 3–100. Fully compatible with the entire Connetix range and other leading magnetic-tile brands (Magna-Tiles, PicassoTiles, Magformers).

Best for: Expansion of existing collections. The tube-and-ball-run pieces add depth to open-ended STEM play—motion, gravity, magnetic force, weight, stability, and balance. Grows with the child from toddler through school years.

Why it's an expansion, not a starter: At ~$1.05 per piece, this is a premium add-on for families already invested in magnetic tiles. Ideal for serious builders seeking specialized pieces (spirals, U-tubes, wooden balls).
