5 Ideas You Can Build with Rainbow Creative Pack

By Siti Aishah Shahadan

There are endless possibilities with the CONNETIX Rainbow Creative Pack 102 pcs. It is not only limited to these 5 play ideas as magnetic tiles are an open-ended toy, meaning there is no specific predetermined use or outcome. This allows you to express your creativity and imagination in a hands-on way.

Magnetic tiles allow children to move through different play levels. They can practice STEAM skills by building a simple structure and naturally exploring scientific concepts of gravity. Then using engineering skills, by trying the possibility of adding extra tiles to make it taller and revise why the structure collapsed, to rebuild again!

These processes build resilience and lead to problem solving and critical thinking skills. It is also great for fine & gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, imaginative & creative play and so many more areas of development.

5 Ideas You Can Build with Rainbow Creative Pack:

1. Tall Structures

CONNETIX are ideal to construct and build with because they join together and can be maneuvered with ease. Tall structures are also more likely to remain intact and do not collapse easily.

Tiles needed:

36 x Small Squares
4 x Equilateral triangles
6 x Isosceles triangles
6 x Window pieces
6 x Door pieces
6 x Fence pieces

2. Dominos

Did you know magnetic tiles can work like dominos? Just set up a row of square tiles on a flat surface, then stand another square tile vertically at each connecting point. Continue for each tile in the row. Once all your tiles are in place, knock the first one over and let the rest fall like dominos! Whilst building a straight dominos track is relatively easy, getting one to curve or turn at right angles is challenging.

Tiles needed:

31 x Small Squares
12 x Isosceles triangles

3. Ball Runs

Just use CONNETIX on their own to create amazing magnetic tile ball runs! Fun for the whole family! No ball run tubes, no worries!

Tiles needed:

33 x Small Squares
12 x Equilateral triangles
12 x Right-angle triangles
9 x Isosceles triangles
6 x Door pieces

4. Coin Drops

By blending the building possibilities of CONNETIX with the engaging coin drops construction, this unique mashup offers endless hours of entertainment and learning opportunities for children.

Tiles needed:

16 x Small Squares
6 x Large Squares
5 x Equilateral triangles
12 x Right-angle triangles
8 x Isosceles triangles
3 x Window pieces

5. Car Ramps

Creating your own car ramp using magnetic tiles is an easy and fun STEAM activity, perfect for preschoolers, school-age, and even older kids. This activity will teach kids about problem solving, magnetic force, gravity, motion and more! This activity offers a unique challenge, as they figure out various ways to build their ramp designs.

Tiles needed:

36 x Small Squares
6 x Large Squares
12 x Equilateral triangles
12 x Right-angle triangles
10 x Isosceles triangles
6 x Window pieces
6 x Door pieces
6 x Rectangles
6 x Fence pieces

Using magnetic tiles to make creative designs is a simple and enjoyable way to keep your kids engaged. They are a safe and versatile play option that encourages creativity, independence, and imagination for kids of all ages. It is no wonder that CONNETIX are hit with parents and kids alike.
