If you have a little who might not be ready for the intricacies of a GraviTrax set but who longs to construct their own marble runs all the same, GraviTrax Junior: My Ice Starter Set from Ravensburger is a wonderful option. If the set seems familiar, it’s because it has all the same pieces as the GraviTrax Junior: Extension Ice set—just with some added pieces to make it ideal for beginners. GraviTrax Junior kits have similar elements to the original sets, but the pieces are larger and assembly is simpler. This arctic set will make you feel like you stepped into an icy wonderland with pieces such as an igloo tunnel, a sled, and little animal figures. Best for ages 3-7, this set has 101 pieces made from bio-friendly, nontoxic materials. Marbles included.
