Starter Kit, Age: 8 years and Up

I offered this to my 9 year old granddaughter and she couldn't stop playing with it. She started out following directions, but after about 15 minutes she made her own, more complex designs. I'll get her more of this.

The most creative way to entertain kids... and adults! Great product.

Bought this for my 8yo. He is enjoying it a lot. He has played with many other marble run toys. He says this is the best so far!

This was a great hit with the grand children. Great little educational piece.

لعبة ممتازة تناسب عمر ٨ سنوات فما فوق فيها تفكير وتشغيل مخ وفي نفس الوقت ممتعة كلعبة جماعية

¡Está padrísimo! A mi hijo le fascina y puede pasar horas armando y desarmando, experimentando y viendo qué funciona y qué no para que las canicas vayan por donde él quiere. Muy recomendable.

This is a marble run starter kit to introduce you to this hands on educational toy. You learn how to put together either the supplied plans or dive in and make your own. hourd of fun sorting out the many variable, like marble speed, placement of bridge or tiles, all interchangeable and offer infinite playability. If you give this to a young person they are learning hands on practical scientific principle, but to them its a toy, its perfect to keep them away from TV or tablet. Some of the critical things are sometime the blocks to make tower do not fit together snug, so there is some movement, so always be aware as bumping into it will at time knock it out a bit and the marble will not roll properly, i would say 80 to 90% is decent. But the positive is you can sort these out bend the bottom tabs a bit or use for one layer, there is always a solution to these problem, but I surprise that being injection molded, there are some inconsistent tightness, I found the paper cardboard base 100% tight. This does not warrant knocking a star, but worth mentioning, as younger kids may have some issue and perhaps cannot figure out why the run may not work, so as a parent you know to look for these lose blocks either base or upper run part pieces. Overall a great starter set, seems pricey, but for the overall package it does hit all hit the points necessary to be rated highly. in amazon you want the rating to be at the minimum 60%, ideally above 70%, this is over 80% and lives up to the hype in my book. I will order other expansion kit for this and review them in the future.
