Review on ๐Ÿ”ฎ MARBLEWORKS Marble Starter Set by Discovery Toys by Joe Michels

Revainrating 5 out of 5

STEM LEARNING IN THE CLASSROOM

I first bought a cheaper version of this toy. I was deeply disappointed. The plastic parts were brittle and difficult for the kids in my class to put together. Then I remembered that the version of this toy I had when my kids were younger was from Discovery Toys. I bought it right away. As an early childhood education teacher looking to incorporate STEM learning into her curriculum, Marbleworks has been a great addition to my classroom. I showed my 5 year old how to do the basic assembly (placing pieces on the floor etc) and within seconds a few kids in the class were grasping the basics of building this toy. After a few weeks, this toy is still popular in my class. Kids who master it work alongside kids who are just learning how to build it. I love the team building this project creates in the classroom. When it's done and marbles are passed over it, it leads to discussions about gravity and other scientific theories. Now the kids work together to assemble it by themselves. They love to create different combinations with the pieces. This toy is not only educational but also fun!
