{"title":"Ball Runs","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Connetix ball run range is where magnetic tiles play reaches its most ambitious and most rewarding level. Designed for children who want to engineer something that actually works — a gravity powered course that sends a wooden ball looping, sliding and spiralling from the top of a structure to the bottom — these sets introduce a completely different kind of thinking to standard tile building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eLearning Bugs stocks both the Rainbow and Pastel Connetix ball run sets, including the main ball run packs and the expansion packs that add more tube types and more complexity to existing builds. The main ball run packs are standalone sets containing everything needed to start a connetix ball run from scratch — connector squares, clear fluted tubes, stairs, bends, splits and wooden balls. The expansion packs are designed for children who have already mastered their first ball run and are ready to add spirals, X-junctions and double racing tracks to make the course genuinely unpredictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAll Connetix magnetic building tiles ball run packs are compatible with the full Connetix range and most leading magnetic tile brands, so they work alongside any existing collection.

Split tubes send the ball racing down two tracks simultaneously. Stair tubes create a stepped descent with a satisfying soundscape as the ball passes through. Combine that with bends, slides and straight sections and the engineering possibilities grow quickly, keeping children challenged and engaged as their builds become more complex. All in the soft earthy pastel shades that make every creation as beautiful to look at as it is to build. Combining this pack with any standard Connetix pastel tile pack opens up even more ambitious structural builds around the run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFully compatible with all Connetix magnetic building tiles and most leading magnetic tile brands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eExplore the full \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"\/collections\/connetix\"\u003eConnetix magnetic tiles collection\u003c\/a\u003e, browse all \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"\/collections\/magnetic-tiles-building-sets\"\u003emagnetic building tiles and sets\u003c\/a\u003e, or extend your build with the \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"\/products\/connetix-magnetic-tiles-pastel-ball-run-expansion-pack-80-piece\"\u003eConnetix Pastel Ball Run Expansion Pack 80 Piece\u003c\/a\u003e for more tube types and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Connetix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43773134831815,"sku":null,"price":84.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/3119\/3287\/files\/image_1024x1024_2x_b1b491da-27a2-4e49-9c84-6339f8ac56b8.webp?v=1776611473"},{"product_id":"connetix-92-piece-ball-run-pack","title":"Connetix Magnetic Tiles 92 Piece Rainbow Ball Run Pack","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col text-sm pb-25\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:9e659c49-415a-4887-95f4-eb4a13d49b3f-5\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-12\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-turn=\"assistant\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"a23f9ca0-b539-42ce-8a06-b422c7bb09eb\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-3\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word dark markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFor children who are ready to move beyond standard building and into something that genuinely challenges their engineering brain, the Connetix 92 Piece Rainbow Ball Run Pack is the most exciting magnetic tiles ball run set in the range.

Two bowls catch balls at the base. Six wooden balls are included. The 36 connecting squares integrate the tube structure and allow children to build the supporting framework around the run.
