Review of Connetix Pastel Creative Pack

A wonderful starter-kit for Florence, almost 2, to start building creatively with, this Connetix Pastel Creative Pack (120 pieces) was sent to us to review and we have played with it every single day since, building, learning and having fun together.

I’ve even found myself mindfully building once she’s asleep. It’s that magneti. Pun intended!

An educational toy that grows with your child (children we know of 4 and 5 years old still play with theirs), the tiles come in various shapes and sizes in vibrant and shiny, jewel-like pastel colours, and you can of course add to your collection with more coloured pieces.

Importantly, Connetix encourages STEAM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) as well as the development of fine and gross motor skills in your kids.

Recognising colours, boosting langauge skills, creating rockets, castles, houses, towers and boats, there is no limit to what young imaginations can build and play with.

 

The beauty is, you can start with simple constructions and develop more complex creations as your child learns and grows. We started by covering the table in tiles then togther built a horse. An accompanying booklet helps to guide and inspire you as you build.

Educational toys such as this ignites imagination whilst building resilience as the child tries, fails and succeeds.

Florence’s favourite is to build boxes and then collapse them.

I love how focused she is whilst we play and how dazzled she is by the magnetic sides drawing together as if by magic.

Below are all of the activity toy’s details, you can expect when you buy it.

This would make a perfect gift for your child this Christmas or any time of the year. Excitedly for clean freak me, it’s easy to clear the tiles up as they stick together!
