100pc Magnetic Marble Run Set with Racing Track Tiles Funnels Curved Slopes and Steel Balls for Kids STEM Construction Indoor Learning Toy that Promotes Focus and Problem Solving PTG100

Great marble run, perfect for younger kids because the marbles aren’t super small! You can use other magnetic tiles you have for the bases which allows you to make the run bigger if you want. One of my son’s (3 yrs old) favorite toys! Only “complaint” is they are kind of a pain to connect/disconnect but I assume that design is intentional so littles cannot easily destroy 😂

My 4 year old great grandchild and I played with the marble run set for nearly two hours on the day the kit arrived. He already had the 100 "classic" set of Picasso tiles. When we discovered it was too difficult for him to attach the chutes to the special tiles, he was easily recruited to build boxes for height and to contain the marble at the end of the run. Hints for building a complex marble run. 1) The chutes don't attach or detach easily to the tiles even for an adult. That is good for the stability of the structure but bad for new designs. To detach the chutes from the tiles, you can use an old hotel key card or an expired credit card to lift up the end and gently pry the chute off the tile. 2) If there are enough of the tiles with the hole in the middle for your design, attach a tile to each end of the chute. Then you just need to rely on the magnets to attach different chutes to each other. Or build several sections with several chutes within the section and both section ends end in a magnet tile. Then you just connect the sections together using the built in magnets rather than having to attach a chute to a tile. This is especially important when building at several elevations. This will allow you to rapidly change the configuration. If you run out of the tiles with the hole in them, first priority for one tile on each end are the small curved chutes and the ones for changes in elevation. For really simple runs, using only ten chutes, you can attach each to two tiles with the hole in them and rapidly change your designs. (There are 21 tiles with the hole in them in the 50 piece set. ) 3) Be sure to build a "corral" for the marble at the end of the run or arrange that the marble will drop into a box. Otherwise you are going to be spending a lot of time searching for the marble which seems to love to roll under the couch. 4) The chutes look and feel flimsy but in actual use they are quite strong. I don't advise it but I actually used a dull butter knife to pry apart a chute and a tile without damage to either. Then I discovered an additional use of a credit card! 5) For height form a tube with two of the longest chutes face to face. The resulting tube is much more sturdy then building boxes to place on each other with the plain magnetic tiles. 6) The long curved green chutes are made to match the height of two magnetic tile boxes of the standard small square tiles in the Picasso set. 7) The small curved chutes fit perfectly within a box made from the standard small square tiles. 8) To involve the younger child in the building process, ask them to help build boxes from plain tiles to support the elevated chutes and to embellish the design by adding on "roofs" and "walls" around the route. Or ask the child which way the marble should go next and build accordingly.

We bought the PicassoTiles Marble Run 100 Piece Magnetic Tiles as a present for our 3.5-year-old son—and I have to admit, he’s not the only one enjoying them! Think modern-day Mouse Trap meets magnets. He already had a set of PicassoTiles and loves building, so this was a great extension. I was initially concerned that the marbles might be too small, but they’re actually larger than traditional marbles, which was a relief. I still would make note of this for younger kids who are prone to putting random things in their mouths. The colors of the tiles are vibrant and fun to mix and match, adding to the overall play experience. The included photo inspiration booklet is a great touch. My son and I have had a lot of fun recreating the pictures, and then adding onto them to make new, more complex structures. It’s a great way to spark creativity and problem-solving. The only downside is that the stacking and attachment process can be a bit challenging for a 3.5-year-old. It’s definitely more of a team effort at this age, but that’s also what makes it a great bonding activity. One thing to note: the clear tube pieces are a little fragile—we did break one early on, so it’s worth being careful when assembling or taking things apart. We enjoyed this set so much that we ended up buying another for our soon-to-be 5 year old nephew’s birthday. If your child enjoys building and imaginative play, this set is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

This PicassoTiles marble run set is an awesome mix of creativity and learning. It keeps kids entertained for a long time while also helping them build problem-solving skills and patience. The magnetic tiles make it easy to put together and rebuild into new designs, which keeps it from getting boring fast. 🔹 Fun & Educational Great for STEM-style play—kids learn about balance, structure, and how different track layouts affect speed and movement. It’s engaging without feeling like “work.” 🔹 Lots of Pieces & Creative Builds The set comes with plenty of track parts, funnels, and slopes to create some really cool runs. The magnetic connection makes building easier than traditional marble runs. ✅ Pros: Super engaging and fun for kids Encourages creativity and problem-solving Magnetic tiles make building easy and quick Lots of track pieces for different designs Great gift idea ❌ Cons: Some builds can be unstable if stacked too high Marbles can fly out if the track isn’t lined up perfectly Takes up a decent amount of space when fully built Overall: A great marble run set that delivers both entertainment and learning. If you want a fun indoor toy that keeps kids busy and thinking, this is a solid buy—just expect a little trial and error when building bigger designs.

We are two weeks into our homeschool, and this marble run set has been a favorite activity so far with my kids (ages 10, 7, and the 13 year-old even enjoys designing along with her siblings at times). I have really enjoyed watching them learn about engineering and physics along the way as they design the marble run and make adjustments to get the balls all the way to the end. They have to think about how the number of turns, connections the ball rolls over, and height of each level/drops along the way influence the motion of the ball. As their builds get more elaborate, there is also more critical thinking and planning involved--they have to think several steps ahead. Fantastic educational toy! I am really happy with this purchase; my kids have already enjoyed it for hours! Here are a few things to keep in mind with this set: -Picasso Tiles are compatible with Magnatiles, so not only can you use Magnatiles to enhance the build, but your kids can then use the Picasso Tiles included in this set to enhance other magnetic tile building. -Only the magnetic tiles (square pieces with the round holes that connect to the marble track pieces) are magnetic. The marble track pieces--straight track/tube (long & short), turn or slide pieces, etc. are not magnetic, but snap into the magnetic tiles. This is fine from a building perspective, but definitely something to be aware of. -Because of the snapping/clicking way in which the magnetic tiles and marble track pieces connect, I would be careful using this set with the preschool set, as they could not only shorten the life of the pieces by pulling them apart too forcefully, but also would get frustrated more easily while building, because it will be harder for them to connect the pieces. If you plan to play alongside your preschooler, this would work just fine, but don't expect it to be an independent play option for that age group. My 7 & 10 year-old can easily build on their own; I would expect most 6 year-olds to handle it well too. -It is most fun if you already have some Magnatiles or Picasso tiles on hand, as your kids will be able to get more creative in their designs & the design will be more sturdy (less frustration!). We have 70 individual Magnatiles (mix of square & triangle pieces) & also the large Picasso Tiles stabilizer base set--fantastic to use along with this set and with other magnetic tile building! You can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/PicassoTiles-Supersized-Stabilizer-Construction-Engineering/dp/B07G33CMC6/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=picasso+tiles+base+set&qid=1599484015&sr=8-6 -The "marble" is larger than your standard marble and it is weighted but not as heavy as many standard marbles. My kids have not yet attempted to use a standard marble but I don't know why they wouldn't work. I would imagine the larger ball is less of a chocking hazard, but I don't have little ones around the house anymore. Overall a super fun set for the elementary age group & 4-5 year olds with assistance (middle schoolers will likely join the fun at some point, but probably won't stick with it for too long). I like that the marble track pieces allow for an open-face track or tubes when two identical pieces are used together--my kids like to do a mix of both. Stabilizer bases and extra magnetic tiles will definitely increase the fun and design possibilities and your kids will have tons of fun while learning.

Got this as a Christmas present. Both my 6 and 8 year old love this. It’s fun seeing the different runs they create. It does come with instructions to build several designs. Once you figure out how the piece go together in various configurations and how to build supports you can create some pretty cool setups. Some of the pieces are a little difficult to snap together, so at times they need help but they are figuring it out. It comes with a decent number of pieces to build with. It’s been a great addition to out magnetic tiles.

I bought this as a gift for my nearly-5- year-old granddaughter, who has a large set of Magnetiles. To assemble a run, you attach the marble run (gutter-shaped) pieces on either side of the square magnetic tiles with small compressible pins. It's not consistently easy to attach and detach the pieces, even for adults. To make things easier for young children to design their marble runs, you can attach the marble tracks to the square pieces ahead of time and let the child use the magnetic squares to put together a run. I'm hoping the pins on the gutters loosen up over time, to make using this set easier. The gutter pieces are somewhat fragile so breakage is almost inevitable. I'd rate this higher if it was easier to use out of the box. It's great conceptually and if the plastic pieces don't break, the set could be a wonderful long-term toy.

My son loves these magnetic tiles. The tiles are durable, and sturdy with different shapes and variety of bright colors. It came with two bases with wheels. It’s a great learning tool. The magnets are same size and actually feel the same as Picasso tiles but better than Titan tiles in which the magnets are thinner. Help to strengthen fine motor skills, collaboration skills, creativity and imagination. The Magna-Qubix are great too. They are much easier to carry than magnatiles since they are small. Helps my son with building skills. Magnets are smaller that magnatiles but works better than the tiles. It’s a better learning tool for basic concept of 3D shape The size is perfect for basic math. They are also compatible with BMAG, Titan and Picasso Tiles. The Picasso Magnetic marble run is awesome. You have huge number of possibilities for creation. Good for hand-eye coordination This is my son favorite. Also compatible with Magnatiles and Qubix. All of them are translucent and great for sensory play with light tables. My 3 years old son is having a blast and learning with these STEM toys. I highly recommend any of these set to any parents out there. Happy toddler = Happy parents = Happy customer

My child love it

Voldeed aan verwachtingen. Al een leuke baan gebouwd. Alleen zal moeten blijken hoe sterk de plastic clipjes zijn die aan “baan” stukjes zitten en die je in de vierkantjes “klikt”

My son loves this! he is still a bit young - I think 4 or 5 is a better age, but he loves it when we help him!

A los peques les encantó.
