Discover the New Connetix Packs
Connetix continues to push the boundaries of creative play with four incredible new additions to its ever-growing collection of magnetic tiles. Whether your little one dreams of launching marbles through gravity-powered runs, exploring outer space, travelling the world, or building imaginative creations, these latest Connetix releases are packed with possibilities.
The newest arrivals include the Connetix Magnetic Tiles 47 Piece Ball Run Launcher Pack, Travel Pack, Galaxy Pack, and Rocket Light Pack—each designed to inspire creativity, encourage STEAM learning, and expand your child's existing Connetix collection.
Why Families Love Connetix Magnetic Tiles
Connetix has become one of the UK's favourite magnetic construction toys thanks to its open-ended nature. Rather than following instructions or creating just one model, children are free to design, experiment and build whatever they can imagine.
From castles and rocket ships to marble runs and cities, every build develops valuable lifelong skills including:
- Creative thinking
- Problem solving
- Fine motor skills
- Hand-eye coordination
- Spatial awareness
- Engineering concepts
- Independent and collaborative play
Every Connetix tile is made from premium non-toxic ABS plastic, featuring strong magnets, riveted construction and beautifully clear, vibrant colours that encourage endless exploration.
Connetix Ball Run Launcher Pack
Take marble run play to an entirely new level with the Connetix Magnetic Tiles 47 Piece Ball Run Launcher Pack.
Designed to work alongside existing Connetix Ball Run sets, this exciting expansion introduces a launcher that sends wooden balls speeding through exciting tracks, adding even more movement, experimentation and excitement to every build.
Children can test different layouts, adjust heights and angles, and discover how gravity, speed and momentum work together.
Why children love it:
- Exciting launcher mechanism
- Endless marble run combinations
- Encourages engineering and experimentation
- Compatible with existing Ball Run sets
- Perfect for collaborative play
It's a brilliant choice for children who already enjoy Connetix Ball Runs and want to create even bigger, faster and more complex designs.

Adventure begins with the Connetix Travel Pack.
Specially designed for creativity on the go, this compact set makes it easy for children to enjoy magnetic tile play wherever they are—whether travelling by car, visiting grandparents or heading off on holiday.

Children can build:
- Rocket launch pads

The possibilities are truly out of this world.
Connetix Rocket Light Pack
Add an extra spark of excitement to magnetic tile play with the Connetix Rocket Light Pack.
This innovative accessory introduces light into children's creations, bringing rockets and imaginative builds to life in a completely new way.
Whether creating a glowing spaceship, illuminated tower or futuristic city, children will love experimenting with light as part of their construction play.
Combined with the Galaxy Pack, it creates an immersive space-themed play experience that's perfect for imaginative young explorers.
