Marble toy

[Abee2202]

Does anyone have a marble run they can recommend? Been looking for one that's sturdy and good reviews but so far no luck. Thanks.

I dont know of any, but my husbands little cousin has a bunch of stuff like that, and I always thought it was so funny that hayden would always play with his "toys" when we would visit. I think cousin is around 14 and he has a little sister who is 5. Hes got model roller coasters, marble runs, tons of legos, I suspect he is gifted by the way he acts and talks but I have never asked his parents.

My kids love this marble run.  It is  transparent which is a bonus so they can see the marble run all the way through.

Thank you. I knew at least ONE person here would have one to recommend. I DID see that one on amazon. I will look it up again, it'll be good for her, I am sure she would enjoy this.

I just saw this one in the Young Explorers catalog that came last week.  It's for ages 5+, so I don't know if that is what you're looking for?

Oh man, that ones sweet but WAY out of my price range.
And I expect to put it together myself for awhile so the age range doesn't make a difference to me.

I agree...about choked on the $80 buck price, but at 100 pieces, if you have a child with a bent toward architecture, it could be a long-term toy.

Have you seen these from Edmund Scientifics?

Another from Leaps and Bounds.

I seen the type on another site. Way cool if your kid is into gears AND marbles!
