How Do Connetix Tiles Work?

So, you've purchased Connetix tiles and now you're wondering how exactly they work. You'll receive several coloured tiles with magnets inside them. These magnets are how they join together. They can be arranged to create all sorts of designs, from castles to animals to replicas of beloved characters.
Using them is so easy. Simply take your Connetix Tiles 100-Piece Set and have your child start pairing each piece together to create anything they want.
 

How Big Are Connetix Tiles?

The individual pieces are typically 15 x 15 cms This allows large and complex structures to be built. There is also a variation in the shapes of the tiles, so they can make specific shapes. Each set includes anywhere from 24 to 202 tiles, so be sure to shop accordingly.
 

Are Connetix Tiles Worth It?

Yes, these toys are worth the sense of accomplishment your child will receive when they've completed a project. Creating a design requires sitting on a project and working at it until it's completed. This means they'll learn how to work towards a long-term goal and nothing compares to the sense of achievement they'll receive when they've accomplished their goal.

Moreover, many toys have one linear use. Connetix encourages a child to build a world of their own. It can help them with world-building and storytelling, which will expand their minds. They can even become room decorations or long-term play sets. Connetix magnetic tiles also challenge the mathematical side of the mind. For example, the variety of sizes and shapes require children to think about dimensions and how to layout blueprints for a design and construct it.

It's no secret. Creativity has been undervalued in recent times, and it needs a resurgence in young minds. Children who harness their creativity perform better in all areas of life, whether that's school exams, problem-solving, or thinking for themselves. It's more than a toy. It's an avenue for creating stronger minds and greater independence.
 

Are Connetix Tiles Compatible With Other Cheaper Brands?

No, unfortunately other cheaper brands are not compatible with Connetix Tiles. They're generally small, hollow, and the magnet inside them is very small. This gives Connetix an advantage over other magnetic toys. Connetix tiles are more durable, and because of their larger magnets, the gravitational pull is more. They are also twice as large, and the colors are more vibrant.
