Worth the Money - Marble Paths

There are other cheaper plastic marble sets that I have used in elementary school classes that easily cracked, broke, or just fell apart with minimal play, but this one stood the test. withstood the rigors of our own children's everyday play in recent months without any signs of breakage. This is a really solid construction made from thick plastic. There are many different figures, each time they are put on the field you get a different marble path. The last marbles we bought to replace the…

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • Legacy Model

Fun for all ages. with a big complaint

Our 4 year old got 2 sets for Christmas. She needs a little jump start, but she takes over quickly and comes up with some fun and easy runs of her own. The pieces are strong and easy to handle yourself. She pulls out this toy every 2 or 3 days which I think is a winner. The only thing that bothers me is that they had to make it so that the normal half inch balls fit all the characters and unfortunately they didn't. I haven't found any beads small enough (should be 3/8) to go through this at a…

  • practical item

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…

Mixed feelings. (updated)

I love this set I bought for my 3 year old. He's strong and can build it up with a little help from me because he needs more pressure than he can handle. Luckily, he's not very keen on rearranging the scenery. My problem is that one of the parts arrived broken and I tried to contact Discovery Toys but they didn't provide me with a replacement as it was purchased through Revain. And Revain doesn't offer to trade it, since Revain only fulfills it, not sells it. I can return it and try to order a…

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Clarity

Best marble walkway I've ever tried

I have a 4 year old son and three 2 year old sons. The year my oldest son turned 3, we gave him a marble run for Christmas. I picked the Marbulous this year because it was a little cheaper than the Discovery toy and seemed to have more ramp types. While the Marbulous isn't a bad toy, it's so unstable that any moderate play with it by overly excited two-year-olds can cause it to tip over and fall apart. They're too young to put it all back together and I had to keep building and rebuilding the…

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • In progress
