Developmental Value

Marble run construction toys are our favorite for developmental value. Construction is self-correcting, so no instruction is necessary, providing experience with self-learning.

STEM: Children learn to build structures, gain exposure to basic physics of how things work together, considering gravity, weight, balance, and stability. They learn and practice math skills by grouping, adding, subtracting, matching and sequencing. Other skills involve modular reasoning, building, perspective and creative reasoning. They also encounter cause and effect and engage problem-solving, classification and critical thinking skills.

Imagination: Children design things based on their creative ideas. May watch the construction grow and continue to add in complexity. May decorate or add flourishes.

Physical: Clutching, handling, manipulating all lead to strength in fingers and hands and a strong development in eye-hand coordination

Social: Marble runs are a great teamwork exercise, offering opportunities to work together, share, discuss and solve problems, give and take ideas, and improve social relationships.

Language: Children must reach for deeper communication as they discuss the size, shape, colors, comparisons, building successes or failures and other aspects of construction.
