Connetix Pastel Base Plate 2-Pieces Set, Lemon/Peach

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.

fantastic quality, fantastic magnet strength perfect edition to the sets

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.

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

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.
