There’s something pretty special about giving a gift that sparks imagination. Whether it’s for a birthday, Christmas, or just because - a CONNETIX set ticks every box: creative, screen-free, and built to last.
If you’re wondering which set to choose, we’ve put together this handy guide to help you find the perfect one - whether you’re shopping for a curious toddler, a budding builder, or a family ready to grow their collection.
👶 Ages 3-4: Getting Started
At this age, it’s all about discovery - learning how pieces connect, experimenting with shapes, and exploring colours. You’ll want sets that encourage early learning without overwhelming little hands.
Recommended sets:
-
Mini Pack
-
Starter Pack
-
Base Plates (make building easier for small hands and help those first creations stay standing)
💡 Tip: Keep builds simple - flat builds and shape matching are perfect for introducing magnetic play.
🌈 Ages 4–6: Building Bigger
Once kids start to grasp how magnets work, the fun really begins! They’re ready to start building taller, creating imaginative worlds, and introducing movement and design.
Recommended sets:
-
Creative Pack
-
Ball Run Pack (we recommend adding this to existing packs)
-
Base Plates
💡 Tip: This age is all about confidence - let them explore and problem-solve.
🧱 Ages 7+: The Big Builders
Older kids love turning play into engineering challenges - designing ball runs, marble mazes, geometric builds, and more. They’ll appreciate sets with unique pieces that push creativity further.
Recommended sets:
-
Geometry Pack
-
Ball Run Expansion Pack
-
Mega Pack
💡 Tip: Combine multiple sets for big-scale builds - bridges, castles, and even marble rollercoasters!
👨👩👧 Family Play
The best part of CONNETIX? It’s for everyone. Siblings of different ages can play side-by-side, building together or creating their own worlds. Bigger sets mean fewer squabbles (most of the time) and more space for shared creativity.
Recommended sets:
-
Mega Pack
-
Base Plates (we recommend at least two for shared builds)
-
Extra Squares or Rectangles (you can never have too many!)
💡 Tip: For families who already have a Ball Run, adding more squares or rectangles helps keep those larger builds standing strong.
