MindWare Q-BA-Maze Marble Run Building Set: 138+ Rails Extreme Set

Pros: Great toy that will see many years of play. Well designed for how the pieces join and ascetically pleasing with the variety of colors. Many options and accessories to make the build fun and exciting. The stunt features do work.Age range says 6 and up. This is a stretch, especially to build the maze that is pictured on the box. So be prepared to help the younger child a lot.Cons: Instructions for the build were difficult even for an adult to follow. It took 3 of us (2 adults and a 10yr old) over an hour because it was our first experience with this product. And we had our moments of frustration. Only instructions for the Ultimate Stunt Tower are included with the package, which had 34 steps. It would be nice if there were instructions for smaller builds or towers included in the box. This would help the beginner or younger builder. We have since found that there are many many plans available online from Q-Ba-MazeMore Pros: this is a learning toy that challenges spatial awareness which is needed to follow the instructions. It also teaches about physics and gravity and motion as well as cause and affect.

This is such a great toy. Got it for my grandchildren and they love it!

Bought this for my 3 1/2 year old son. He LOVES it and it still using it daily since Christmas. Easy to assemble. Highly recommend the optional marble catchers for the bottom/exit of the maze as the marbles roll away very quickly. That or fashion some sort of "gate" at the bottom to contain them (we're thinking hula hoop)

Jouet innovant et créatif. C'est mon cadeau préféré pour les garçons entre 6 et 12 ans. En general ils n'ont pas et ils en redemandent l'année suivante:)
