MTA Magnetic Marble Run - Set of 268

The Magnetic Marble Run is an engaging and educational construction set designed to captivate children's creativity and enhance their understanding of physics principles. This comprehensive kit includes 268 translucent magnetic tiles and tubes, allowing young builders to design and construct unique marble tracks. As they assemble various configurations, children can observe marbles navigating through their creations, providing a hands-on experience with cause and effect, gravity, and motion. ​

This set includes:

• 2 x Magnetic Marble Run Sets – 134 Pieces (MYY134)

Educational Benefits:

• Develops Problem-Solving Skills: Children experiment with different track designs, learning to troubleshoot and refine their constructions to ensure smooth marble movement.
• Enhances Understanding of Physics: Through interactive play, children grasp fundamental concepts such as gravity, momentum, and cause and effect.​
• Encourages Creativity: The open-ended nature of the set allows children to design and build their own unique marble runs, fostering imagination and innovation.​
• Promotes Fine Motor Skills: Manipulating the magnetic pieces and marbles aids in the development of hand-eye coordination and dexterity.

Classroom Ideas:

• STEM Challenges: Assign tasks where students must build a marble run that meets specific criteria, such as a minimum length or incorporating certain angles, to apply engineering principles.​
• Collaborative Projects: Encourage group work where students design and build complex marble runs together, promoting teamwork and communication skills.​
• Physics Demonstrations: Use the marble run to demonstrate physics concepts like acceleration, friction, and energy transfer in a tangible and engaging way.​
• Art Integration: Incorporate the translucent, colourful pieces into art projects, allowing students to explore colour mixing and light as they design aesthetically pleasing structures.​

Safety & Information:

• Ages: Suitable for children aged 3 years and above.​
• Materials: Made from durable, lightweight plastic that is easy to clean and disinfect, ensuring longevity and hygiene.​
• Piece Dimensions: Triangles measure 13.5 cm in height; squares measure 7.5 cm in width.​
• Compatibility: This set is compatible with other MYY magnetic tiles, allowing for expanded building possibilities.​
• Safety: Magnets are securely enclosed within the plastic pieces to prevent detachment, ensuring safe play for young children.
