The all new CONNETIX Road Range is here!!! It’s in a NEW sleek black shade with exciting NEW shapes that will have you exploding with creative ideas. Get ready to drive your imagination to a realm of architectural design and open-ended play like you’ve NEVER SEEN BEFORE!
There are two packs to choose from within this range – A 16 Piece Roads Ramps & Intersections Pack and a 48 Piece Roads Creative Pack. The magnetic tiles are an opaque sleek black shade specifically designed to contrast against all other CONNETIX colours. The black shade and carefully curated shapes are perfect for building roads with intersections, round-a-bouts, bends, bridges and more!
There is no doubt that endless hours are to be had creating all sorts of different road designs surrounded by towns, cities and open landscapes. However, the best part about these tiles is that they are free from white lines and road markings. Consequently, the tiles retain their open-ended CONNETIX awesomeness and can be used to build so much more than just roads!
Here are 5 ideas to get you started with the new CONNETIX Road Range.
1. Ramps and Skate Parks
The Road Range has a new tile in the shape of a ramp. It’s perfect for joining up to a bridge or making a hill in a road. However, it is also a great piece to connect levels of a car garage or multi-level carpark. If you are keen to build a multi-level building for cars, then the CONNETIX base plates are an excellent choice to combine with the Road Range. The ramps and other shapes in this range could also be used to create a fun skate park. Just think of all the ramps, jumps and half pipes you could create with these new black tiles! What else could you make with ramps?
2. Runways and Racetracks
Every aircraft needs a cool runway or helicopter pad to take off from and land at. Right??? This can be easily created using the tiles in this range. By incorporating other magnetic tiles you have at home, you’ll be able to transform your runway into an entire airport. If you’ve got an inspiring pilot or a child who loves aircrafts, then this is a build you’ll have to try. Another alternative idea is to create a racetrack. Zoom around with cars you already have and consider making a stadium for viewers to watch the race!
3. Ball Runs
If you love making ball runs, then you won’t be able to resist yourself making ball runs with this range. The new shapes provide completely new possibilities and combinations for exciting ball run creations. The sleek black shade also looks great against the other CONNETIX colours and helps the ball run path to stand out from the rest of the build.
4. Nature Creations
Take your nature inspired creations in a new direction with the Road Range. For example, the curved ramp pieces could be used to make natural looking flower stems, antennas of a butterfly or a slopping landscape. You could also make a beautiful flower by using 4 x turn pieces to create a complete circle for the centre of the flower. In addition, these tiles could be used to make an attractive curved path leading to a magical village or used to make a scary black snake. There are so many opportunities to use the Road Range in nature inspired creations!
5. Numbers and shapes
CONNETIX has always been a great resource for enhancing learning through play. Now the Road Range has opened up even more opportunities. The curved edges provide an added educational element to explore and make a variety of shapes and numbers.
As you can see the Road Range is so much more than just a set of tiles to build roads, and we can’t wait to see what other exciting ways you discover to use these tiles!!
