Review on Gifts2U Educational Construction Marbles Parent Child by Chad Black

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Colorful and fun but a little skimpy

Ok my son is 4 years 2 months old but he usually destroys all toys I think because of his skimpy nature and how long it took me to make it to assemble The graphic instructions only show 1 side / 1 corner of the marble aisle, no attempt to wait again lol. I originally assembled it at my kitchen table and had to take it to his table and I found how easily the pieces slide apart, not like Legos which snap together and hold, these pieces don't come loose easily unless of course you don't take it. from the bottom pieces. So I would suggest assembling it as a piece of cardboard so you can move it around easily. Marble run over everything does exactly what it's supposed to do, the wheels in his head are definitely turning because I saw it in his eyes. The price is fair, I wasn't trying to splurge on a toy, I knew it would interest him for a few minutes from time to time. The colors are bright and the spinners, wheels, loop and windy track are a lot of fun to watch. Marble is smaller than regular marble, but you get a lot of them. I only put 5 marbles per run because there is a stopper at the top of each run that holds 1 marble per run and it would be easier for me to make sure the marbles don't get lost in space just to get you there. sucked into vacuum. They are transparent with some red or yellow in the middle, I have a cranberry rug and it's very hard to notice the little ball. There is 1 part of the path where the ball doesn't fall, it lingers next to the hole and I believe this is due to an assembly error, but again the instructions are a picture from an angle every few steps. In the end I'm glad I bought it, it keeps you interested for a minute or two, collecting and looking for lost balls sucks, the price isn't bad and it has lots of wheels, spinners etc.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Not the best
