Learning Resources Tumble Trax Magnetic Marble Run Engineering Toys Ages 5+

All of the other marble tracks I purchased in the past were disasters. Being magnetic, obviously the process of assembling and disassembling is hassle free. I love this product. It's rare to find a fun, educational toy that gets played with more than once. I bought this quite a while ago and it is still popular in my home. It's a good value and would make a wonderful gift.

This is a pretty great toy set. It’s imaginative and fun as well as inventive. All our kids ages 2-7 like playing with it. They love to race the marbles down the tracks and will do so for a long time. It comes with a set of laminated cards you can use for inspiration. Our youngest liked these a lot and I was surprised how well they could follow the card to make a track. It made it a toy they could use without me!! Though we use it a great deal together. The pieces are light but sturdy made of foam and have taken significant use and are holding up well. Since we use them on a chalk board they have been cleaned a bit too and they still look great after being covered in colored chalk. The magnets are strong and the pieces hold well, but not ridiculously so. Making rearranging or removing easy. The marbles that come with it are a bit lighter than the standard run of the mill kind so work best with the set. But regular ones work well too (since we seem to lose the given ones from time to time). It’s when you build a track that gets going fast and the force of the stop makes the basket piece fall off. But who can get mad at that? The tracks can go pretty fast.

My 6 year old granddaughter loves it. She needed some help to get started with how it needs to go for the balls to make it to the little box but after she was shown how it works she had it. Great toy to keep kids her age busy but keep away from smaller kids because of the little balls that come with it could be a choking hazard for little ones that like to put things in their mouth.

5-year old loved this to use on a large magnetic board! He can follow the suggested layouts or design his own. I felt the quality was good. Important though to stress to children that it has to be handled carefully and put away when done playing with it.

I bought this product for my classroom to use with second graders. The kids had a great time, trying to figure out how to make the marble run. There was plenty of cooperative learning, and the kids were so excited when it worked! It took lots of planning and replanning, but they did it. Then they started all over again to make a new design.

Disappointed, pieces move with every marble run so they need to be repositioned with every other run or so to not fly off and this is with the easiest run. Will return and look for wooden ones we used years ago.

This is used on the fridge or front door. It is a mom and son fun time after little brother goes to bed.

Magnets are strong, they aren't flimsy, very creative designs they give you, my kids are aged 1 and 5 they both love it. Balls are too small, we lose them easily and only came with 4.
