5 Great Ways to Play with the Rainbow Transport Pack
Tags
Get ready to roll into a new world of wheeled creations with the CONNETIX Transport Pack!
The CONNETIX Transport Pack is loaded with everything you need to build endless epic vehicle creations. It includes a reversible grey transport base that is bigger and longer than the motion bases and is exclusive to this pack! In this blog I’ll be sharing five fun build ideas to inspire. The first three use ONLY the pieces found in the CONNETIX Transport Pack. For the last two ideas, I’ll show you just how amazing the grey transport base is by incorporating a few extra magnetic tiles from other packs.
Helicopters, aeroplanes and other aircrafts made with magnetic tiles can be precarious on their own when picked up and moved around in play. Adding a CONNETIX transport or motion base is a great way to add stability to your CONNETIX aircraft, making it more durable and easier to pick up or roll along a surface. You can build a truck on another motion base and connect it to the base of your aircraft to transform your design into a semi-trailer. Not into aircrafts? Use your semi-trailer to transport anything you like (e.g. loose parts, matchbox cars or animal figurines are great alternatives).
Create your own ice cream truck and add some figurines for some fun imaginary role play. Enjoy selling ice cream, buying ice cream, just missing the ice cream truck as it drives past your house, singing ice cream songs, driving around an imaginary neighbourhood and so much more.

The grey transport base is excellent for big truck designs. You can make some pretty awesome trucks using pieces only found in the transport pack. However, you’ll be able to level up your truck designs by adding a few extra tiles from other packs. We were able to bring a fire truck, garbage truck and a dump truck to life by adding extra tiles found in other packs from the CONNETIX range (e.g. the CONNETIX 102 Piece Rainbow Creative Pack and the CONNETIX 212 Piece Rainbow Mega Pack).
My kids love having imaginary adventures with boats. They love pretending to travel on land with their boat on a trailer, back the trailer into car parks or water, take the boat on and off the trailer, pack their boat with treasures and travel across oceans to distant islands, the list goes on. Combining the grey transport base with the new rectangles from the CONNETIX Rectangle Packs makes all this play possible. It’s been a game changer! Watch this video to see how you can use the transport base and rectangles to increase the stability and useability of a boat. Increased stability results in less time rebuilding and more time playing!
I hope these ideas sparked your imagination and got you excited about the CONNETIX Transport Packs. Don’t forget to share with us if you create something inspired by this blog!
