This unit block marble run is a wooden version of the classic marble run that is open ended in design and allows the children to experiment and build their own unique designs and creations. This unit block marble run set includes 4 marbles and 36 unit block pieces in various shapes and sizes.
This marble run is great for teaching the children the benefit and reward from creative thinking and hard work. They will have a great sense of achievement watching the marbles run through each of the wooden pieces knowing they created the marble run from individual pieces. This allows the children to be as creative as they like in making their own runs, learning from their failures and celebrating their successes.
The set includes coloured concept cards that show how various designs can be made and how they relate to what can be found in the world around them. They can create a curved marble track that can relate to driving along a curved road in the countryside. This helps to provide the children with a sense of direction and shows them how what they are learning relates to the world around them.
This is a great resource for children to work together on as they build each design. This will help develop their teamworking and collaboration skills as they work together and support one another in achieving a common goal. This is great for developing their social skills and teaches them understanding and patience.
Comes with a handy cardboard box that is great for storage and allows the children or educators to easily pack the unit block marble run away at the end of the day or they can leave the marble run out as a great display piece and a reminder to the children of what they have accomplished that year.
Ages 3+ years.
