Help! Marble run guide

Confused! not sure which marble run is right for you!

To try and make your choice easier we have divided our marble runs into three main categories, young children, older children  and suitable for everyone.

Marble runs for younger children

These are fairly easy to put together and not very complex. Some of them will require adult help in setting up them up and following the build instructions, others are more straight forward and will require little or no help, depending on the child's ability.

Marbutopia

The starter sets are very simple and make excellent gifts. The four starter set can be joined together or added to the build and learn set to form more complex runs.

Age 3 +

Quercetti

Similar to the Marbutopia runs but available in larger sets including a motorised set.

From age 4 +

Marble runs for older children

These are more complex and larger runs, and require a lot more time and patience to build

Techno-Balls

These are suitable for children aged about 8 years and over.

They have lots of small pieces are quite technical and require more time build and set the track up correctly.

Each Techno-Balls marble run comes with step-by-step instruction on how to build the set pictured on the box.

Quercetti Sky rail

Again aimed at children of about 8 years and over.

Similar to the Techno-Ball marble runs these also take time to build and setup correctly. However the larger sets offer a more open minded play allowing you to create your own marble tracks that can stretch around your room.

Marble runs suitable for everyone young and old.

Quadrilla

Quadrilla marble runs have a large selection of accessories making them suitable for children of all ages. Younger children will enjoy the Basic set, Twist & Rail and Twist set, although adult help will be needed to set them up.

Older children will be kept engaged and challenged building their own marble runs, making sure the correct blocks are used and fitted the correct way round and using the various accessories available.

Q-Ba-Maze
Aimed at 5 years old and above. This is one of those toys that the more you have the better it is. Allowing you to build very large, complex and challenging models and sculptures.

There are some amazing models on their website including a ~5000 piece giant fish http://www.playanddesign.org/content/05-the-big-fish/
