These packs are the best for the tower builders, garage builders, fence builders and ball run builders! The rectangle and square packs are the most versatile packs in terms of what you can use them for. They are easy for little hands to create structures with and can be used in so many different ways. 

The squares fit perfectly with the squares in the ball run packs to create epic towers & the rectangles are the equivalent of multiple squares joined together for the most structurally sound towers around!

Looking to add a ball run as well? we've got those, too! The ball run packs are amazing add-ons to your square or rectangle packs, as well as any of our Mega, Creative or Starter packs!

Our tip? Don't buy a ball run pack if you don't have any other tiles as these don't come with any plain Connetix tiles, only ball run tiles! Make sure if you're just starting out with Connetix to add a square pack, rectangle pack or one of the packs mentioned above to get the most out of your ball run!
