The Castle Marbleworks toy is a classic for a reason. It’s my absolutely favorite Discovery Toy for toddlers. It’s also a little pricey. If you don’t wish to buy the Castle Marbleworks, you can totally DIY it.
Developmental Benefits of Making a Totally Cool Ball Run
- Gravity and Cause and Effect: As the ball rolls down the track, children can observe how gravity pulls it downward, leading to a chain reaction of events.
- Visual Tracking: The ball’s journey along the winding path helps children develop their ability to follow moving objects with their eyes.
- Experimentation and Problem-Solving: By rearranging the tower elements, children can explore different paths for the ball, encouraging experimentation and problem solving.
DIY or Buy?
You can easily create your own version of a Castle Marble Run using household items like cardboard tubes, plastic bottles, and marbles. However, if you prefer a high-quality, durable toy with a lifetime guarantee, consider purchasing a Castle Marble Run from Discovery Toys.
No matter which route you choose, the benefits remain the same: a fun and educational experience for your child.
