Marble Madness



The other day Seth stumbled upon this marble run that was going to be sold on ebay. He had a good time playing with it for about and hour or so and then asked for my help. I think I liked it as much as he did! For the next two hours we built and re-built various combinations and watched in amazement as the marbles whirled to the bottom. It was a roller coaster of emotion - the devastation of a structure tumbling to the ground just before it's completion - the thrill of victory as a marble successfully found it's way "home from the top of the mountain." I cannot believe I was about to sell this! I had no idea how much fun he (we) would have with this. For the past several days, this toy has been in constant use.
