GraviTrax Junior - Starter Set XXL Planet

Introduce children to the world of GraviTrax with our "Junior Starter-Set XXL - My Planet"  and watch them discover their inner engineer! This huge GraviTrax Junior set is a complete marble-track world in one box, packed with chunky track pieces, themed decorations and friendly animal figures that invite young learners to design, build and experiment. Specially created for ages 3 to 7, the Junior components are larger, easier to handle and visually engaging, so even younger children can succeed as they construct their own gravity-powered tracks. As marbles race around volcanoes, splash through water worlds and zip past polar animals, children are quietly exploring concepts such as cause and effect, speed, slope and problem solving. The Planet theme encourages big-picture thinking about different environments on Earth, while open-ended building supports creativity, collaboration and rich oral language. Ideal as a STEM showpiece in your room, this starter set provides enough variety and quantity of pieces for multiple learners to work together across a table or mat, redesigning and extending their constructions day after day.

Educational Benefits:

• Builds early engineering and design thinking as children plan, test and refine their own marble track layouts.
• Strengthens understanding of gravity, slope and motion through hands-on experimentation with ramps and curves.
• Supports fine motor skills and spatial awareness as learners connect track pieces, place decorations and guide marbles.
• Encourages collaboration, communication and turn-taking while children negotiate shared designs and explain their ideas.

Classroom & Play Activity Ideas:

• Set up a STEM investigation station where small groups design a track, then predict which route will be fastest before testing.
• Link to science units by creating themed zones (jungle, desert, ocean, polar) and discussing which animals might live in each area.
• Invite children to draw a "blueprint"  of their track before building, then compare the plan to the final construction.
• Run a class challenge where learners modify the track to slow the marble down, prompting discussion about friction and gradients.
