Transparent Marble Run (48 pieces plus 16 marbles) Reviews :
We looked at a number of marble run toys and decided on this one based on other reviews and thought it appeared to be the best value. It was a huge hit with our 3-year-old. He is not able to build one by himself yet, but that is coming and is great because he will enjoy it even more as time goes by and he can do this. We love it because it does not require batteries and encourages creativity, and we should get years of use out of it since there are so many different configurations you can do with it. He also got a remote controlled car and he loves this just as much.

My 5-year-old son saw a very expensive marble race toy in a catalog and asked for it for Christmas. After reading a lot of negative and conflicting reviews on-line about many different marble race toys, I was hesitant about making this purchase, but I finally decided on the transparent marble run. It was about half the price of some others I saw advertised, and not as many pieces. It has turned out to be a great toy and has far exceeded my expectations! My son really loves it! The pieces are colorful and sturdy, and they fit together nicely. I actually have two other younger children, ages 4 & 2 1/2 who also enjoy dropping the marbles into the tubes and watching them roll & spin downward through the interesting pathways. There are plenty of marbles that come with the toy, so there isn't any fighting over them. They love to try to get all of the marble run toys. rolling through it at the same time, and there is just something fascinating and exciting about it, even for the grown-ups! The little ones do need some assistance to put a good run together, but it is very educational for them to try to construct something on their own and see if it works. Another plus -- so far there are no broken or lost pieces even after a number of hours of play time!

This is a great marble run toys. for helping children develop an understanding of causality. How fast will the marbles go through a tall vertical run? a long diagonal run? etc. The transparency of the tubes also lets the child view the marbles speeding down their path. Our creative four-year-old grandson also delights in connecting the tubes to create other toys (e.g. a telescope) or whatever his imagination dictates. We look forward to our "Skype" sessions when he shows us what he has created or discovered. What a great toy!


We purchased this as a christmas gift for our 4 year old son. He loved it. It takes a little parental help and creativity, but it's great fun for everyone once it's put up. This is one of those toys you can enjoy many times over with all the different combinations. Sure it takes time on your part as a parent, but we need more time with our kids, not less. This is a great way to spend time together
