Magnetic Marble Run 134 Pieces Printer Combo

Introduce children to the exciting world of physics and engineering with this magnetic marble run set. Featuring translucent tiles and tubes, children can design unique constructions and observe marbles as they navigate through their creations. This hands-on experience allows children to experiment with varying heights and designs, enhancing their problem-solving skills as they work to guide the marble from start to finish. ​

Each piece is crafted from durable, lightweight plastic, making them easy for children to handle and build with. The robust design ensures longevity, while the smooth surfaces facilitate effortless cleaning, maintaining hygiene during play. Embedded magnets along the edges allow for easy assembly and modification, enabling children to explore different design concepts through trial and error.

The translucent nature of the tiles and tubes offers a visual treat, allowing children to track the marble's journey throughout the run. This feature is particularly captivating when used on a lightbox, as the vibrant colours illuminate, adding an extra layer of engagement. Whether used as a standalone set or combined with additional sets for more complex designs, this marble run provides endless opportunities for creativity and learning.​

Supporting both STEM and STEAM educational approaches, this set encourages problem-solving, perseverance, and creative thinking. By integrating science, technology, engineering, maths, and art, children develop a holistic understanding of these disciplines through playful exploration. ​
