Discover the New Connetix Portals Pack: Opening a Whole New World of Play

2025 is already shaping up to be a landmark year for Connetix magnetic tiles, and the brand’s brand-new Portals Pack is leading the way. Packed with innovative design features, educational benefits, and endless ways to play, the Connetix Portals take magnetic tile building to a whole new level. Whether your child is an experienced builder or brand new to the Connetix world, this set is designed to inspire, challenge, and delight.

About the Connetix Portals Pack

The Connetix Portals Pack is a vibrant celebration of creativity and engineering. Featuring eight bright rainbow colours and three different square sizes that nest neatly together, this pack encourages endless combinations and open-ended play.

At the heart of the design are two unique new tile types:

Large and Standard Portals: With an open-frame design, these tiles have multiple magnetic connection points on both the inner and outer edges, giving children exciting new ways to construct.

Mini Squares: Featuring the exclusive Connetix Smart-Spin Technology, these mini tiles allow magnets to rotate up to 360 degrees, opening up entirely new directions for building and connecting.

These innovative features aren’t just fun, they’re designed to enhance STEAM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) by allowing children to experiment with engineering concepts, stability, symmetry, and creative design. 

The Ultimate Educational Toy

Every build helps children develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, while also supporting their understanding of balance, stability, and spatial reasoning. This hands-on exploration naturally weaves in key MESH skills – Mental, Emotional, Social, and Health skills, including perseverance, emotional regulation, and collaboration.

And because every build is different, there’s no limit to how far their creativity can stretch.

Why You’ll Love It

Whether you’re a parent, educator, or a child at heart, there’s so much to love about the Connetix Portals Pack:

Innovative Design: The open-frame portals and Smart-Spin Technology introduce brand-new ways to connect and build.

Endless Play Possibilities: From artistic flat lays to tall towers, the only limit is imagination.

Educational Value: Encourages STEAM learning, problem-solving, and creativity in every play session.

Grows With Your Child: Perfect for young children exploring basic builds and older kids mastering complex designs.

Compatible With All Connetix: Works seamlessly with your existing Connetix collection to expand play possibilities.

Safe and Durable: Made with non-toxic ABS plastic, BPA and phthalate free, and built with an exclusive bevel design for strength and beautiful light refraction.

Five Creative Build Ideas to Try

Need some inspiration to get started? Here are five exciting ways to play with the Connetix Portals Pack:

Houses with Skylight Roofs or Opening Windows

Build cosy homes with real openings to let light flood in, a perfect way to add realism to your builds. 

Artistic Flat Lays

Arrange the vibrant rainbow tiles into intricate patterns on the floor or table. These eye-catching designs could easily pass for modern art.

Target Walls

Create a colourful wall with open portals as ‘targets’ for soft play balls or bean bags, a fun, active twist on building.

Majestic Buildings with Intricate Details

Combine mini squares and portals to construct elaborate castles, skyscrapers, or fantasy palaces.

Enhanced Ball Run Stability

Use the portals to give your Connetix Ball Run structures extra strength and complexity – perfect for creating taller, more ambitious runs.

Open-Ended Play for All Ages

Connetix Portals are designed to grow with your child. A three-year-old may start with simple stacking and shape exploration, while older kids (and adults!) will push the boundaries with advanced engineering projects.

Because the pieces are compatible with the entire Connetix range, the Portals Pack integrates seamlessly into your existing collection. That means you can expand your creations, mix and match colours, and create multi-dimensional builds that are bigger and more imaginative than ever before.

Quality You Can Trust

Like all Connetix products, the Portals Pack is built to last:

• Exclusive bevel design for added strength and stunning light refractions.
• Strong magnets to support larger builds.
• Ultrasonic welding and rivets for enhanced durability.
• Non-toxic ABS plastic, BPA and phthalate free for safe play.

This attention to detail ensures that your Connetix tiles will be enjoyed for years to come, standing up to the demands of both enthusiastic little builders and intricate big builds.
