CONNETIX Magnetic Tiles Pastel Lemon & Peach Base Plate Pack, 2 Pieces

Magnet tiles is one of the favorite materials in the block area. I'm a Kindergarten Prep teacher and in my classroom, the block area is the most popular and busiest area. We have the triangular and square Magna-tiles. However, I didn't even know that such a large sized base magnet tile existed. At first, I thought they were expensive, but after seeing them, I can understand why. These are very well made and extremely sturdy and durable. The magnets are pretty strong so when these are stacked together, it is pretty tough to separate them. It comes with a booklet of inspiration and I really got inspired. I would like to order a full set. It's amazing to see what you can build with these. One thing to point out is that the smaller square tiles we have are slightly smaller than the 16 individual squares that make up the big one. You can stick them on this base, but 4 square tiles will not be equivalent in length. I recommend these tiles.

This is our first Connetix product so I didn’t know the quality, but anticipated it being nice based on the price (currently $55 for the two base plates). Compared to other brands of which we own several sets, the plastic on these base plates is very thick and quite durable feeling. They are also very clear and the colors are bright and cheerful. The magnets are strong and appear very securely sealed inside, which is important as I have a 20-month old toddler and loose magnets would pose a serious hazard. They are compatible with the tiles we own and my son took right to them, building pyramid structures. These plates will allow him to create more complicated builds that will be sturdier on a wide base, as well as allow him to build multiple groupings, like a city. The price point is high which could make it cost prohibitive, but these are definitely a great splurge for your magnet tile loving kiddo.

In the pic it is the orange base. They are large and strong, roughly 16 of the small squares. So it saves for more building. However 55$ seems pretty $$$ for 2 items.

I really love this base plates! First of all, I must say I appreciate product packaging, that's one of the ways a brand wins my heart, and these came in a really beautiful package, which make them a great gift as well. They are great quality magnetic tiles in very beautiful pastel colors. They work really well, and they are a perfect addition to someone who already has a magnetic tile set. My 5 year old son loves these, as they provide a bigger base so. he doesn't have to use a lot of the single tiles to just make a base. The other sets my son has are not the same brand, so I did notice that his other tiles are a little bigger, so some of them do not fit perfectly in the intersections, but he is still able to build big, and tall buildings, without a problem. So, you can still use them even if your other set is not the same brand

The CONNETIX Pastel Base Plate Pack has been a fantastic addition to our playtime collection. The two large pieces in lemon and peach colors are not only visually appealing but also incredibly functional. The kids love using these sturdy base plates to build houses and cars, providing a solid foundation for their creative constructions. These base plates are great for encouraging imaginative play and building skills. The quality is excellent, and they fit perfectly with other CONNETIX sets, making them a versatile addition to our toys. Overall, the Lemon & Peach base plates have been a hit, and I highly recommend them for any young builder's collection.

These bases make it so much easier to build with magnetic tiles. It’s so nice to know the tiles are going to stay right where you want them. I really think all tile sets should come with a base. I’m pretty sure my grandkids and I won’t be able to play without a base anymore…it’s spoiled us. The only reason I took a star away is because I feel the price is high. They’re wonderful products, obviously made well, just out of many people’s price point.

These CONNETIX base plates have been a game changer with my 2 year old. She loves magnetic tiles but mainly just stacked them on top of each other as she doesn't understand the concept yet of putting down a base and having supporting pieces. These base plates allow her to stand up tiles and create larger structures with little effort. They also free up tiles, which would have previously been used for the base, so you can get even bigger builds. These base plates are sturdy, solid and contain lots of strong magnets. We have several different brands of magnetic tiles in our collection and these base plates worked with all of them. These things are awesome and I would highly recommend them to anyone with a magnetic tile collection!

These really do make building more fun, as the magnetic tiles become more secure. These are large tiles that are quite heavy, so you can build up a nice little town, etc. The magnets aren't as strong at the edges, so you can't really buy multiples of these and build a cube or anything.

fantastic quality, fantastic magnet strength perfect edition to the sets

Connetix are incredible! We’ve had them for years. Love these base plates. Strong, look amazing and such a great addition to our collection
