Full details
The Connetix Base Plate Pack is designed for young builders and enthusiasts looking to stabilize and expand their existing magnetic tile collections. These plates provide a solid foundation that enables the construction of taller, more elaborate towers, castles, and complex architectural designs. While they significantly enhance stability, it is important to note that these plates do not feature magnets on the underside, which may limit certain wall-building techniques compared to standard magnetic tiles.

FAQs
Are these plates magnetic on both sides?
No, the Connetix Base Plates are designed as a flat foundation for your tiles to click into from the top. They do not have magnets on the underside.
Are these compatible with other magnetic tile brands?
Yes, they are designed to be compatible with most standard magnetic tile brands on the market.
What are the dimensions of each base plate?
Each base plate measures 30cm x 30cm.
Are the materials safe for children?
Yes, they are made from non-toxic, BPA, and Phthalate-free ABS plastic and are rigorously tested for safety.
Can I use these to build walls vertically?
While the plates provide a base, the walls themselves must be built using your standard magnetic tiles that have magnets on their edges.
How do I clean the plates?
Wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using an automated dishwasher or submerging them in water.
Troubleshooting
Tiles won't click firmly into the base plate.
Ensure the base plate is placed on a completely flat, level surface and that you are using authentic magnetic tiles.
The plate appears slightly warped.
Check the storage environment; ensure the plates are stored horizontally on a flat surface rather than leaning against a wall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Connetix Base Plates, simply place them on a flat, level surface. You can connect your existing magnetic tiles directly onto the grid pattern of the plates. These plates are compatible with all Connetix sets, ensuring seamless integration with your current collection. To care for your base plates, clean them using a soft, slightly damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the integrity of the plastic and the riveting. Store them flat to prevent warping and keep them away from direct heat sources or prolonged exposure to extreme sunlight.
