A wooden ball clatters down clear tubes after one firm press.

🚀 Fires balls – the push-button launcher sends wooden balls into the run, so children test angle and layout and watch what changes
🧲 Snaps together – magnetic connector squares click into place and hold tubes at different heights and angles
🔍 Visible physics – clear tubes, turns and slides let children watch every ball roll, drop and slow
🛑 Redirects runs – the stopper piece plugs into the run to block or reroute the ball
🧩 Ready to build – 47 pieces including 2 wooden balls and an inspiration book of layouts
🛡️ Built tough – ABS plastic tiles are ultrasonically sealed and riveted, non-toxic, BPA-free and phthalate-free

In the box: 47 pieces: 1 launcher, 1 stopper, 6 long straights, 4 short straights, 4 U pieces, 6 small turns, 3 slides, 4 connector rings, 11 connector squares, 5 standard squares and 2 wooden balls, plus an inspiration book. Works with Magna-Tiles and other magnetic tiles.

The Educator's Note

The push-button launcher gives children immediate feedback on slope and layout. Change one piece, fire again and see the difference. That is early scientific testing, built into the play.
Clear tubes make the ball's path visible at every point. Children diagnose their own failed runs instead of waiting for an adult to fix them, which builds persistence and problem-solving.
Lining up magnetic connector squares and rings takes controlled finger pressure and alignment, supporting the grip and precision needed for pencil control, in a build that keeps growing in complexity.

More about this pack

Press the launcher button and a wooden ball shoots through a run your child built themselves. If it stalls or flies off the end, they adjust the angle, add a turn or plug in the stopper, then fire again.

Suited to builders aged 3 and up, this pack adds motion and cause-and-effect to magnetic tile play. Three-year-olds enjoy the launch and the clatter. By 5 to 7 years, they are planning drops, testing slopes and fixing their own design flaws.

The first launch

The pack starts with one question: how far will it go? A child presses the push-button launcher and a wooden ball whizzes into the first clear tube. It might hit a slide, drop through a U piece or bounce straight out the end. Either way, they want to try again.

That repeat-and-adjust loop is where the value sits. Because the tubes are clear, they can see exactly where the ball slowed, stalled or sped up, and work out why a run failed without needing an adult to explain it.

Building with magnets, testing with motion

The set includes 6 long straights, 4 short straights, 4 U pieces, 6 small turns and 3 slides. Eleven connector squares, five standard squares and four connector rings hold it all together. Pieces snap on with a satisfying click, and lining up connector squares and rings takes controlled finger pressure, which builds the hand-eye precision and finger control used in early handwriting.

The stopper plugs into the run, so a straight path becomes a puzzle. Block one exit and the ball must take another. Raise one end and the speed changes. This is the early physics of gravity and slope, learned through play rather than explained.

Where it fits as they grow

At 3 to 4 years, children focus on the launch, the sound and the ball's first dash down a short run. Around 5 to 7 years, they plan multi-turn layouts, predict where the ball will land and rebuild when they are wrong. Frustration tolerance grows, because a failed run is easy to fix and fun to retry.

It is part of the Connetix system and is compatible with all Connetix packs, so it adds motion to existing magnetic tile builds and pairs with larger sets such as the Connetix Super Ball Run Pack 134 pc. Expect moderate noise: the click of tiles and the rattle of balls through tubes. It suits indoor play on a table or floor, solo or with a sibling or friend taking turns to launch.
