The CONNETIX PRO 70-Piece Constructor Set opens up a whole new world of imaginative play and engineering fun for older kids. With its mix of sleek tile shapes, powerful spinning magnets, and bold, contemporary colours, the PRO Set offers endless possibilities.
Whether you’re looking for open-ended inspiration at home or fresh build prompts for the classroom, we’ve rounded up 5 creative build ideas that can be made using just one set of PROs. These builds are designed to engage curious minds, encourage storytelling, and explore more complex designs perfect for older children.
Speaking of butterflies; this is a great activity to practice symmetry and design skills. Use identical shapes and colour placement on each wing to challenge spatial awareness and attention to detail. It’s a quiet, focused build that doubles as art.
Is there a future astronaut in the house? Construct a rocket ready for blast-off using long beams and triangles to taper the top. Overlap small tiles as control panels or windows and launch into imaginary space adventures.
This build combines flat lines and symmetry to create a boat that’s ready to conquer rough waters. The PRO’s strong magnets ensure a stable design, even for more intricate shapes.
The CONNETIX team of play experts is made up of qualified teachers, early childhood educators, industry specialists and dedicated parents who are passionate about open-ended play, STEAM learning and quality resources. Together, they share their expertise, experience and love of all things CONNETIX to inspire play-based learning.
Create a spring-inspired garden using triangles for petals, squares for stems, and bright colours to bring it all to life. This build is ideal for focusing on colour theory, patterns, and symmetry. Bonus idea: combine with butterflies for a seasonal display.
Build a jet that looks fast even when it’s standing still. With narrow tiles and angular shapes, kids can design a sleek, futuristic jet complete with wings and a pointed nose. This is a perfect entry point into discussions about aerodynamics and design.
All of these creations can be built using just one CONNETIX PRO 70-Piece Set, making it the perfect set for creative thinkers and designers. Whether children are building solo or collaborating with others, the PROs provide the freedom to invent, the challenge to think critically, and the opportunity to turn ideas into real, tangible models.
Looking for more structured activities? Try setting build challenges like “use only three colours,” “build with ten tiles or less,” or “make a symmetrical animal.” These mini tasks stretch creativity and add fun variations to playtime.
Happy Building!
