Editorial Review
Up and down it goes; where it'll stop, no one knows! With Amaze-N-Marbles, the visionary builder can create fantastically elaborate maze-like castles. But that's only half the fun. When the building is finished, drop a marble at one end, and watch it go twisting and turning down tunnels, leaping from one channeled block to the next, disappearing into an angled hole in a cube, only to reappear two blocks over! This 60-piece set contains many different shapes and sizes of natural-colored grooved wood blocks with safe, nontoxic finish, and 10 glass marbles. Explore the concepts of symmetry, balance, sequence, and spatial thinking, and hone organizational skills and coordination. No instructions necessary--it's all up to the builder's imagination! The sturdy 11.25-by-16-inch cardboard box with handle serves as a convenient storage and carrying container. Try it--it's truly marble-ous! --Emilie Coulter

Amaze-N-Marbles 60-Piece Set Reviews

These have huge variations in the quality of wood pieces; some are really porous lightweight woods that are rough around the edges (not splintery, just porous and rough, think dried up sponge). The blocks with the holes are really rough inside. The tracks are fine, a denser smoother wood, though the wood stains are a bit muddy. The "Blocks and Marbles" sets have tight grain wood with clean cuts and smoothly sanded holes. These don't have as satisfying a clatter when the towers and tracks fall, or as nice a feel in hand. Also, the box has a sticker that says "assembled in the USA, some parts may have been made in China." Returned these and got two sets of the others instead. The shapes are generally the same and both brands are compatible with each other. Oh yes, that's the other thing with both of these -- you need to use support blocks between the tracks so that the marbles can go...

My 3 and 5 year old boys love it! It is easy to build marble runs, watch your marble go, add on new pieces and they are using their brains all the while. This is a toy that will likely get even better for our boys as they get older and more able to engineer some multi level marble runs. For now, I mostly work with them so they aren't frustrated if the tower falls over as we build it. Its awesome! 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Great for Kids and Parents, = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Amaze-N-Marbles 60-Piece Set (Toy) This is the ultimate parent/child interaction set for my family. I love setting up the runs, and the boys love to help place the blocks and drop the marbles. We all get thrills from the lovely sounds and sights of the marbles dropping. Like other reviewers have mentioned, this set is a little rough around the edges aesthetically, but for the price per number of blocks, I prefer this over the more polished version. Its functionality is wonderful, and we're having fun. |
