The Wooden Musical Marble Run

This is the configurable wooden marble run that plays simple melodies when a marble strikes chimes positioned along its path. Sharpening children's visual acuity and spatial relationship skills while expanding their creative horizons, the run is made up of 118 wooden pieces that fit together into dozens of configurations. Six differently tuned, precisely machined steel chimes ranging from G to E can be integrated into any design to play a series of notes as a marble travels through the run. Placing the chimes at different intervals teaches rhythm as children create their own tunes. Towers, spacers, straight and curved rails, mini-ramps, deposit "pools", and a swirling, railed funnel allow children to form cascading marble waterfalls, multi-direction runs, and more from the included instruction book. Includes 70 glass marbles. Ages 3 and up. Requires 25" x 25" set-up space. (10 lbs.)
