Category Description for Blocks & Marbles

Think of this set like a sturdy, wooden marble run! Blocks and Marbles sets are made up of wooden blocks, some of which are carved into long or short gutters, while others are designed for marbles to be dropped in the top, where they change direction and come out the side. Because there are no connecting pieces, children can play with them, stack them, and construct just like blocks, then drop a marble at the top and see where it goes! (Please note that proper alignment is critical to the flow of the marble; younger children may have some difficulty.) Components are simple, so combinations are nearly limitless, and marble run possibilities can be as creative as the builder! All sets below contain the same kinds of pieces, so you're not missing out on anything with the basic set (except limiting the size of your constructions), and it's easy to add on! Additional marbles are also available - we know how easy they are to lose!
