Marble Run, Galt

All the children in our house (young and old) absolutely love this. The competition between my youngest and his dad is so great they can be entertained for hours. It is really well made aswell.

Comments from other mumsnetters: "Excellent for construction skills as well as hand-eye coordination." "Quite a feat to put together but good quality and well-made." "You can race up to four marbles at a time." "Get's quite competitive in our house but great fun!"

Fantastic, well constructed, hours of family fun and built to last a lifetime!

My boys enjoyed this immensely for a couple of weeks, but it isn't a longlasting toy. Not the kind of thing you want to get out over and over again and play with in lots of different ways, as it isn't really very flexible in what it does.

A fantastic and durable toy which can be used by 2-22 year olds. This is one of the few toys that has children and adults fighting over it. Great to put to good use all the millions of marbles we had lying round our house too!

It is great for hand eye coordination as well as construction skills and sequencing.

A good toy to encourage teamwork as children can put this up with their friends in lots of different ways. A very sturdy toy.

This is a big hit with my DS with the different permutations offering any number of runs to build. Great fun and a good way to teach construction techniques.
