Review on VTech Marble Rush Launchpad Multicolor by Charles Collier

Revainrating 5 out of 5

hours of fun. About Training and Education

This is a set of Rube Goldberg marble paths and launchers. It's great tactile imaginative fun for kids as they not only design and assemble the marble walkway, but also toss balls down the slides and walkways they design. The little marble rocket does little but lights up and makes noise. if the ball goes through it and triggers its switch it has no kinetic value, but other than that the kit is a complete kinetic delight with room for creativity in path design and the ability to interface with other VTech Marble Rush kits (although I haven't have not done) . I haven't tested it, just read about it). Hours of fun lie in doing this in all of its possible permutations. The foundation elements must be leaned on for stability, and the path elements are also used as support elements, which precludes their use as paths if you build them high. For this reason, a second or third set increases the joy of design and play.
