I was overjoyed to receive a marble run for my 5-year-old daughter, who is obsessed with them. When you follow the instructions, it's fairly simple to put together. He could even expand his capabilities by constructing more complex structures - Cognitive abilities are being tested. On the second day, he dismantled it and reassembled it as he desired. Years of interest, in my opinion, are on the horizon. What a wonderful present!.
My nephew and granddaughter received this as a gift. They seem to enjoy it, based on what I've heard from their parents.
This toy set is incredibly popular among my son's friends. Despite the fact that we are now constantly on the lookout for marbles.
It appeals to my son.
This is a huge hit with my three kids (6, 4, and 2)! I used to have a marble set like this as a kid, and it was one of my all-time favorite things, so when I saw it, I knew I had to get it for my own kids. They are just as enamored of it as I am. br>br>There are 80 individual building pieces in the kit, as well as 50(! ) of marbles Step-by-step instructions for one recommended build are included in the instruction manual, as well as photos of a few other recommended builds. We were able to put it together in about 15 minutes, despite the fact that the step-by-step instructions were a little difficult to follow in some places because you can't tell which way a slide or stairs is facing. br>br>When we first placed the 50 marbles in the various entry points, all three children were completely lost. It was a sight to behold, and I'm glad I was able to capture it on film. Our two-year-old was ecstatic. Everyone had a great time, and they were kept busy for days. It is a huge hit with them. Overall, it's a good deal and a lot of fun. br>br> There are a couple of drawbacks. I wish there were two "shoes" included in the kit instead of just one - Because there is only one exit point for the marbles, they become backed up. In addition, the connectors could be made to be more secure. Things get out of level, so I have to adjust it frequently. The male parts are too short to securely connect to the female parts (story of my life). br>br>Overall, though, it's a fantastic kit that the kids adore. We may add to it in the future.
There are 80 pieces in total to work with and create mazes with (though there is never enough!). The various dynamic pieces, such as the spinners and stairwells, add to the overall effect. When you let all 50 marbles run at the same time, it is mesmerizing. br>br>My kids enjoy playing with this set. We're even considering purchasing a second set so that we can create even larger and more incredible mazes. br>br>I like that it keeps my kids occupied for a long time because they have to build and rebuild various structures. This STEM toy is a great way to encourage creativity and imagination while having a good time. br>br>The only drawback I can see is that male parts are a little shorter than they should be, especially if you're using the round and round pieces with only one support.
It's a little difficult for my 5-year-old niece, who has never done anything like this before, but we had a lot of fun doing it together! I wish it came with ziploc bags to store all of the pieces in, but I had plenty on hand. br>br>We built it in the living room. We built it for my in-laws, and they were very impressed/entertained. The arches are difficult to assemble, but once they're in place, they stay in place. Each square tube is similar to a lego piece in that it can be torn off and reattached in different places. At first, she was both excited and frustrated, but I've been working on teaching her patience in general. She was ecstatic to toss a handful of marbles into the starting bowl by the time it was over. When the marbles are heated, they explode (it comes with a bag FULL of small marbles). It gets loud as it travels through the tubes, but it's still a lot of fun for me. Building more complex ones takes a long time, but this will be an excellent reward system. It's not difficult to construct, and it holds her attention well, but we'll start with the basics and small builds, rather than the massive one we constructed earlier!.
My 4-year-old grandson received this as a birthday present. It drew him in right away, and he returned to it after he'd finished opening the rest of the gifts. Every day, he has been tinkering with it. It has a lot of sturdy, brightly colored pieces that are real (i. e. , marbles made of glass Although I would have liked to see a piece that could split the marbles and send them down different paths from the same input, there is a reasonable variety of pieces. I'm particularly fond of the vortex and mill-like pieces. pieces of a puzzle The fact that the tubes are translucent is also appealing to me. As a result, the marble can be seen moving through the tube. To build set pieces, you can either follow the included instructions or use your imagination, as my grandson prefers. The base pieces are connected by a small plastic piece, which is unfortunately fragile, as one of them has already broken after only a few days of play. It's also unclear why the colors green, yellow, and red are associated with dinosaurs. Without the product page, no one would guess that this is a "dinosaur" set based on the colors.
