ConnetixPastel Base Plate Pack, Pink & Berry, 2 Pieces Age 3+

This review is for the Connetix Pastel Base Plate Pack, Pink & Berry, 2 Pieces. Included are just two square shaped magnetic units which are four by four units in size, this set is an expansion set for someone that already has a starter kit or other sets ready to build upon these bases.I ordered this for my grandson who already has a couple of Connectix sets so this will allow him to build larger projects using this as a sturdy base and over time more and more sets can be added for even more capability.The quality is about the best that I've seen for magnetic building blocks and the pieces grab to each other with ease. Every piece is made from a very strong and safe non toxic plastic and houses strong magnets for a decent and sturdy model to be built. Each of the pieces are quite large so it might be a slight problem for very small hands however my six year old has no such issues using these along with his other sets.As the pieces stack to one another the model becomes pretty solid and can be used for numerous ideas and designs, obviously the more sets you have the more than can be done but even if this was to be added with just one starter type set it will give the child a brilliant introduction into the world of construction and really help to advance their imagination as well as their dexterity.I ordered this along with a set of 12 rectangular tiles so now with his existing sets he can really use his learned skills to the maximum.Overall, these are not cheap but if you want quality and safety for your child then you shouldn't compromise and just get the best which I believe is Connetix, this is obviously an add-on set so if you haven't used Connetix before then maybe purchase a starter set first and then add to it with this set and others.Recommended.

The soft pastel shades of pink and berry add a touch of sweetness and charm to my building creations.

The base does give extra possibilities, but I feel it very expensive for what it is. Not sure it is worth it. Maybe more pieces would be best

I really love these magnetic tiles.Are great, helping to develop imagination of your kid.This it`s only a square pack, so it's good to extend an existing collection and used along with other shapes that connectix provides.They are well built and the magnets are very strong.The bright vibrant colours will appeal to kids.It comes with a booklet, but to build all of it you would need more kits.A bit expensive but this is a kit that last well

We have many magnetic tiles toys but the Connetix brand is definitely our favourite so when I saw the Connetix Pastel Base Plate Pack I thought we'd give them a go.There are two base plates in the pack in the colours pink and berry. These are really nice colours and they go well with the magnetic tiles we already own. Much like the rest of the Connetix range they are very strong both in terms of the plastics durability and the magnet strength.Each base plate is 30cm square and can be used as part of a creation or as a base for creations. There are magnets all the way through the base plate (unlike the smaller ones included in sets which just have magnets around the outside) which mean it is good for making things such as a house. I have shown this in the photo I have included but to clarify only the two magnetic tiles base plates come in this set.I am really pleased with these and we've enjoyed having them as part of our collection but I do think they are hugely overpriced. I wouldn't pay more than £20 for these as there's only two included. Not the best value for money but an excellent quality product from our favourite brand of magnetic tiles.
