The New CONNETIX Pastel Portal Pack

The brand new CONNETIX 48 Piece Pastel Portal Pack is here, introducing a fresh pastel take on the innovative portal design families have been loving.

Designed to unlock entirely new dimensions of play, this 48-piece set introduces innovative open-frame magnetic tiles and clever nesting squares that encourage deeper creativity, more complex builds and beautifully structured creations.

If your children already love building with magnetic tiles or you’re looking for something that grows with them, here’s everything you need to know about the CONNETIX 48 Piece Pastel Portal Pack.

The magic lies in the portal design.

Unlike traditional solid magnetic tiles, the large and standard Portal tiles feature a distinctive open-frame structure with magnetic connection points on both the inner and outer edges.

This allows children to:

• Create windows and doorways

• Design tunnels and passageways

• Layer builds for more depth

• Experiment with structural strength

• Construct intricate architectural designs

The mini squares introduce something even more exciting — CONNETIX Smart-Spin technology, which allows magnets to rotate up to 360 degrees.

This means:

• Greater flexibility in building

• New directional possibilities

• More complex problem-solving

• Stronger structural experimentation

It truly opens up a whole new way of thinking about magnetic tile play.

One of the things we love most about the CONNETIX 48 Piece Pastel Portal Pack is how beautifully it evolves with children.

Younger children may begin with:

• Simple nesting builds

• Flat patterns

• Basic tunnels

Older children naturally progress into:

• Architectural structures

• Multi-layered builds

• Symmetrical designs

• Small world environments

Because the tiles nest within one another, they encourage spatial awareness and proportion in a very intuitive way.

It’s thoughtful, open-ended play at its best.

One of the loveliest things about the CONNETIX 48 Piece Pastel Portal Pack is how seamlessly it integrates with the rest of the CONNETIX range.

If you already own the Bright Portal Pack, the two work brilliantly together. The structural portal concept remains the same, meaning children can combine bold brights with soft pastels to create layered, multi-dimensional builds filled with contrast and personality. Mixing the two adds visual depth — vibrant frames paired with calming pastel tones — while expanding the number of nesting combinations possible.

Within the pastel collection, this pack feels especially cohesive. It pairs beautifully with pastel Creative Packs and pastel Ball Run sets, extending builds upward and outward with architectural framing. Portals become doorways for ball run tracks, windows in castles, tunnels in small worlds, or structured supports in larger constructions.

Because the tile sizes are designed to nest and connect with precision, children can experiment with scale — placing mini squares within standard frames, stacking large portals to create towers, or weaving them through existing builds for added complexity.

Rather than duplicating shapes, the Pastel Portal Pack enhances what children already have. It introduces structure without overwhelming a collection, making it a thoughtful addition whether you’re just starting out or steadily growing your CONNETIX world.

This pack isn’t just beautiful — it’s deeply developmental.

The open-frame portals and rotating mini tiles support:

• Spatial reasoning

• Engineering principles

• Fine motor development

• Problem-solving

• Critical thinking

• Creative experimentation

Children aren’t simply stacking — they’re testing ideas, refining builds and thinking in three dimensions.

It’s play with purpose.

Like all CONNETIX products, the CONNETIX 48 Piece Pastel Portal Pack is:

• Made from non-toxic ABS plastic

• BPA, lead and phthalate free

• Internationally safety rated

• Designed with strong, secure magnets

• Finished with uniquely bevelled edges for durability

These are premium magnetic tiles built to last — and built to be passed down.

While the CONNETIX 48 Piece Pastel Portal Pack works wonderfully on its own, it truly shines as part of a growing collection.

It doesn’t replace your core shapes — it enhances them.

By adding portals and nesting squares, children can rethink everything they’ve already built and take their creations further.

• Depth

• Innovation

• Smart-Spin flexibility

• Architectural creativity

If your children are ready to build beyond flat designs and into layered, dimensional creations, this pack opens the door — quite literally.

With launch day here, we expect this to be a popular addition to pastel collections.
