Cuboro is a Swiss toy manufacturer which is especially famous for its wooden marble track (marble run) toys. Their ecologically safe toys made from natural Swiss woods are regarded as one of the most useful and creative toys for children. I will review one of their most recommended marble track starter sets.

There are 54 equal sized beechwood cubes with holes, channels and tunnels on them featuring 12 different functions. The aim is to build a structure where the marble(s) will pass through in the track system starting from the uppermost level and reaching to the ground. All this mechanism works with only the help of gravity. There are no glues or other materials to connect. All is natural. Children love viewing how the marbles go through the maze-like system and naturally develop understanding of 3D dimensions and design skills.

It is an expensive toy for sure, but these are one of the rare toys I would spend money like Kapla Wooden Blocks and Lego Chess Sets.

Here is a Cuboro structure video submitted to youtube by a toy owner.

As a parent, you can also enjoy playing Cuboro with your children. Keep in mind that, this toy is not for children under 3 years old since it contains marbles which can lead to choking.
