MarbleWorks Starter Set by Discovery Toys
Looking for a fun interactive building set for your kids...and you? Marble runs are a fun way to unplug & actually play with a toy. This particular one is the toughest on the market, We've had a few fatalities with other brands. It's built for kids so it's very sturdy ...which is a super important feature...and easy for kids to build on their own. Even with lots of use ours has lasted for at least 3 years without a single piece broken...lost marbles seems to be the only for us & user error can hardly count against this toy!
This starter set is perfect for a anyone that wants to play with marbles & comes with lots of pieces (46 to be exact). The age bracket on this kit is ages five & up but younger kids like 3-4 love it... although you will have to put it together for them & make sure they don't try to eat it. The starter set features bright purple, blue & yellow colors & can be mix with any other MarbleWorks sets.
The basic idea is to connect tubes, bases & chutes together in different ways to race your marbles down. Kids can learn the laws of gravity & critical thinking to get that marble where they want it to go. It's great for a family toy & I highly recommend getting more than one kit, the deluxe is a good choice. Or if your kids already like this get some of the extras like the Wild Ride or the Crank it Up! There are tons of options & millions of possibilities with a set like this.
I could bore you with the promo videos for this awesome toy...or I can show you the toy in action, from a child's point of view.
