Ravensburger GraviTrax Obstacle Course Set - Marble Run and STEM Toy for Boys and Girls Age 8 and Up - 2019 Toy of The Year Finalist GraviTrax

Three things are included in the Obstacle Set's instructions: First, there's a pamphlet with the names of all the pieces, instructions for putting the bundled expansions together, and a diagram showing how they're used in a track. The second is an example track booklet that only uses the basic starter set pieces and none of the bundled expansions. These (or similar) example tracks are already included in the GraviTrax app, which generates build instructions for any track you load into it. So only the app is required, not the booklet. The third is a single-player game. This is a sheet sample track that DOES use the bundled expansions from the Obstacle Set. This sheet is available in pdf format on the GraviTrax Fans page on Facebook in the Files section. The problem is that this structure has flaws; for example, if you build it according to the instructions, the zipline will collide with the clear platform. In order to make this GraviTrax build work, you'll need to EXPERIMENT and MODIFY. br>br>In a nutshell, avoid getting bogged down in Ravensburger instruction manuals. This system isn't like a Lego set that comes with a lot of instructions. You'll want to build these well-thought-out structures. This is a completely unrestricted resource. Troubleshooting and problem-solving features abound in this game system. solving, for children who enjoy a good challenge.

This set is completely buildable by a 6-year-old. Our four-year-old grandson is becoming quite skilled, and our six-year-old grandson has created some very imaginative music. Start doing it with them until they "get it," then supervise; I wouldn't leave them alone just yet. Perhaps by the age of eight.
