Camping and Caravanning with CONNETIX
Tags
We’ve been on the road for 2 months now, and with limited space, we packed only the essentials—including very few toys. One toy that made the cut was our set of CONNETIX, which has proven to be a fantastic choice. When it comes to travel-friendly play, open-ended toys like CONNETIX are ideal. They’re compact, easy to pack, and incredibly versatile, so kids of all ages can enjoy them without needing much else. CONNETIX invites cooperative play, perfect for family bonding, and works wonderfully for quiet, independent moments. Plus, they’re handy for all sorts of little tasks around the van or tent! Here’s how we’ve been making the most of our CONNETIX on the road.
Playing card games is a very popular holiday activity. However, with little ones can be tricky when they struggle to hold all their cards. Use CONNETIX as handy card holders—perfect for young hands and keeping family game time frustration-free even when there is a little breeze!

Need a break from the excitement? Use CONNETIX to make simple board games right at your campsite! Lay them out as a checkers board using shells or rocks as the game pieces or get creative and invent a game of snakes and ladders, or even Sequence. These DIY games are perfect for calm, focused play without the need to pack extra games. Want some more inspiration? Check out our boardgame blog here.
Bring everyone together for a fun, friendly competition! Divide into two teams and set up tiles as small targets, standing upright in a row. Teams take turns trying to knock over the other team’s targets with a soft ball. The first team to knock down all of the opponent’s tiles wins. It’s easy to set up, and perfect for an afternoon of laughter and friendly rivalry.
When you’re on the road for a longer period and need to homeschool your child. Leave the bulky educational resources at home, and bring CONNETIX and chalk markers instead. They make an excellent hands-on learning tool. Practice Literacy, Math and Science right on the tiles! Check out our educational blogs for more in-depth ideas on how to incorporate learning on the road.
Turn your adventure into a science exploration! Go on a magnetic treasure hunt and see how many items your tiles can stick to around the campsite. It’s a fun way for kids to engage with their environment and make predictions about which objects will be magnetic.

Create some friendly family competition with CONNETIX challenges: Who can build the tallest tower in one minute? Can you make the longest domino chain or a star shape using only one hand? These playful activities are great for family connection and friendly competition, no matter your location! To create a fun competition, we often add a dice, you can add the number of tiles you rolled. Who has the highest number after 5 or 10 rolls?
