Description

The Connetix 50 Piece Transport Pack was designed with vehicle enthusiasts in mind, offering epic vehicle fun for the whole family. Featuring our exclusive reversible grey transport base as well as two clear motion bases, all with real rubber wheels, plus a range of magnetic tile shapes to help create endless vehicle designs. A perfect foundation for STEAM learning, children naturally explore concepts of magnetism, motion, force, gravity, shape and colour while creating their very own trucks, trains, aircrafts, or something completely unique and new.

The open-ended nature of Connetix invites imagination and creativity while adapting to the different stages of childhood, so children of all ages and abilities can explore STEAM concepts individually or collaboratively with family and friends. The Transport Pack is compatible with the entire Connetix range, meaning collections and play can grow and develop with each child.

Science – Connetix helps children explore scientific concepts such as magnetic force, motion, gravity, weight, stability and balance.

Technology – Children explore technology by putting concepts into practice to solve problems and create forms to meet the needs of their play.

Engineering – Children engineer their designs until they work to achieve their goal.

Art – Children use Connetix to experiment with colour blocking and layering, patterns, symmetry and light. Children can express themselves and develop language and communication skills while they play.

Mathematics – Connetix allow exploration of measurement, 2D and 3D shapes, location and transformation, data representation and interpretation, numbers, patterns and manipulation of concrete objects.

Connetix are made from non-toxic ABS plastic free from BPA, lead and phthalates and are safety approved in all countries they are sold in. The unique bevel design, along with the inclusion of ultrasonic welding and metal rivets increase the strength and safety of Connetix while producing clearer refractions.

What our experts think

The Connetix 50 Piece Rainbow Transport Pack immediately engaged all children, regardless of age. The tiles sparked the children’s imagination in various ways from building trucks to taking medicine to the Ukraine. One child created a magical train that was able to fly when she put her bracelet into it. The testers maintained focus and attention while playing with the tiles and were therefore entertained for long periods of time. The testers used trial and error learning to work out what pieces they needed to create their design. The children were able to develop their fine motor skills and hand eye coordination while using their creativity to make vehicle after vehicle.

The magnetised tiles meant that the creations built were robust and didn’t fall down or break easily. If the children’s creations did break, the children were happy to rebuild them, adapting their design to make it stronger next time. Overall, the set provided abundant opportunities for exploration, enjoyment and learning through play.
