Once you’ve fallen in love with CONNETIX (and trust us, it happens fast!), the next question is usually: what should we add next?
The beauty of CONNETIX is that every set connects - so as your children grow, your collection can grow with them. Whether you’re adding new challenges, colours, or creative elements, each new pack brings something fresh to playtime.
Here’s our guide to choosing what to add next based on your family’s play style and what you already have.
🧱 Building Bigger & Taller
If your little architects are running out of pieces mid-build, or those towers are getting taller by the day, it’s time to add the shapes that make big builds stronger and taller.
Recommended Additions:
-
Squares - you can never have too many; they’re the base of every great build.
-
Base Plates - essential for stability and tall structures.
-
Rectangles - great for walls, floors, and long bridges.
The more foundational pieces you have, the more your kids can build, balance, and experiment.
💫 Add Movement & Magic
Once your builders have mastered basic structures, it’s time to introduce movement! The CONNETIX Ball Run Pack adds a whole new level of excitement and creativity.
Recommended Additions:
-
Ball Run Pack - adds ramps, tubes, and motion for endless cause-and-effect fun.
Tip: a Ball Run paired with a Creative Pack or extra squares or rectangles gives you far more building potential.
🌈 Expand Your Colours & Shapes
Adding variety keeps play exciting and helps kids experiment with symmetry, design, and balance.
Recommended Additions:
-
Geometry Pack - perfect for pattern play and creative design.
-
Clear Pack - adds a beautiful twist for light play or window builds.
Mixing packs encourages creativity and makes every build feel new again.
🧡 For Siblings & Shared Play
If you have multiple builders at home, doubling up on key pieces helps everyone play happily (and saves a few sibling squabbles).
Recommended Additions:
-
Base Plates - one for each child to build their own space.
-
Extra Squares or Rectangles - especially handy if you already have a Ball Run set and need more support pieces.
-
Creative or Expansion Packs - perfect for collaborative builds and longer play sessions.
More tiles = more teamwork, creativity, and imagination for everyone.
💡 Tips & Tricks for Growing Your Collection
Here’s what we’ve learned from years of play (and from chatting with CONNETIX-loving families):
🧱 Base Plates make everything better.
They anchor builds, boost stability, and help kids build taller with confidence.
🌈 Think about how your kids play.
When you’re growing your collection, notice what they often run out of first. For us, it’s squares - so we recently added more of those, and it’s made a huge difference.
📦 Store smart.
Use a shallow bin or rolling cart so sets stay together and are easy for kids to tidy up independently.
👶 Start flat, then grow up.
Younger kids love 2D patterns before moving to taller structures - it’s all part of learning spatial awareness.
