CONNETIX Magnetic Tiles Pastel Ball Run Building Blocks 106pc: Educational Creative Thinking, Creativity, Magnetic Building Components

My family and I love these magnets and the creativity and learning is endless. My issue with these magnets, though, is that the structures built with them are not as strong as some cheaper brands and collapse easily. Also, with the ball run parts are difficult to snap onto the magnetic tiles at times and then when taking them apart, I worry that they are going to break as it is difficult to then detatch them from the magnetic tiles.

The entire family loves Connectix tiles. We play with them in the morning and in the evenings. There are so many ways to play. We have learned to collaborate, build together and smash together

My kids love this set! The spirals are a great addition!

My 5 year old and 2 year old daughter loves it. We built a very tall structure with two ball run sets and they were not disappointed. The tracks are very solid and secure in the square magnet tiles. They balls run smoothly down and around! We bought a third set for a friend's birthday as a gift and they love it too!

Fantastic concept and great fun for kids & adults - magnetic pieces are easy to assemble for ages 3+ - however, the plastic gutter ‘click-in' pieces are very hard to assemble and impossible for a small child, this appears to be a complete design failing for the ball-run options for younger users. More magnet type or easy connections for the little ones please

This, I find myself creating ball runs often

My 3 year old loves it but she can't play with it alone. I am a working mom so we love interactive parent toys, which this is. (If you are a SAHM and wanting a break, this isn't it.) we have a blast with it and she loves it. , , , , My only complaint is that I don't quite understand how it was engineered because the clear pieces don't seem to consistently fit in the square dimensions (like one clear piece is not equal to the length of 2 squares, it's generally annoyingly ever so slightly longer, regardless of it you are doubling up the squares with round holes or not.) it's not critical to building it, it just means it's harder to build a secure base for it, harder to Re-enforce it and harder to build up without it collapsing. It seems like an easy fix that could make it a lot better. (Also the expansion ball run seems to be a little better dimension wise.) , , , , So the assembly is a little harder than it looks. The easiest and most secure way to build is to put a square piece on every end of the clear pieces and then put 2 squares together. It makes it a lot more fun for the kids and easier to reconfigure. (Not quite sure if that is how it was intended but we find that easier and more secure.) , , , , Base plates are really helpful to have with this product. It also works better if you have a larger pack with a lot of squares. , , , , We have a one year old and have to be careful around her because of the ball size and chocking concerns. , , , , I have pictures showing the length problems but no where to post them, connetix happy to send them to you directly if you want to work on understanding the problem.

We love the colours in this set and all the different ramps. My 4 year old is just a little reluctant to keep playing with it as it's somehow hard to attach/detach some of the ramps, then at the same time some other attachments fall away too easily. I'm not sure whether we're doing it wrong but it feels like the ramp click-ins are going to break when we detach them.

Our kids received this for Christmas and we've had so much fun building ball runs - the pieces clip in solidly and make beautiful creations!

I purchased the set as a gift and it was much appreciated. Can't wait to try them myself when my son will be a bit older

Strong magnets and beautiful colours. Be sure the read the product specs prior to purchasing to avoid disappointment. Misleading package cover.

Great! I wish we had started with Connetix vs other brands. Much better quality. Thank you

This is something fantastic! Something for all family! Thank you so much!

Got this for a grandson and he loved it! Both he and his sister spend hours playing with it.

Connetix is fun for me and my daughter, but few things that are a bit annoying, like 1/4 turns dont seem to snap and are all loose so they fall out on their own, and that we got double the orange squares so thers a shade missing that should be there. We still have fun but it is difficult at times to make a fun slide especially when u start building higher and higher. Fun toy a bit pricey but i dont see myself expanding our collection. , , Best regards Ognjen

Absolutely beautiful set and the balls are so lovely and tactile. Can't wait to gift it for Christmas!

The quality is great and I love the colours. My daughter was however disappointed to see that the box didn't contain the pieces to make the picture on the front. I had not noticed the very small print on the front of the box exposing this. , , Apart from this we love them and will add to for Christmas

Excellent quality, easily withstands a toddler jumping on and throwing them. Colours are beautiful and they are very quick and easy to pack up.

My grandkids have several different Connetix tile products. They develop such creativity and skills they will use forever.

I absolutely love the product. I'm just a bit disappointed that in the pack there wasn't all that we needed to build a ball run like in the pictures. I would suggest getting another pack before getting this pack to build the structure.
