The World's First Suspended Marble Run

This is the first marble run with a track that is suspended in mid-air. Unlike traditional marble runs that must stand on a flat surface or mount to a wall, this tower-like run overhangs from a shelf, cupboard, or other horizontal surface thanks to an innovative vacuum pad that holds it securely in place. The 780-piece set assembles easily to create an over 3' tall run that sends marbles racing through funnels, chicanes, hairpin curves, and more, teaching kids STEAM concepts as they build and play. A hand-operated, belt-driven elevator returns balls to the top for another run. Comes with glow-in-the-dark stickers for watching runs in a darkened room. Includes step-by-step instructions or young engineers can design their own runs. Crafted in Germany by a company that has been making construction sets for 55 years. Ages 8 and up. (6 lbs.)
