ally cool add-on. Have you ever used marble tracks for creative engineering with kids? It is so much fun! I believe children should get a lot of time every day to play. It really gives the children time to use their imagination and get creative. Plus at this age, children learn so much by playing. This week I am trying to incorporate open-ended toys that involve STEM learning. Anything STEM is awesome for kids!

The engineering challenge with marble tracks is to construct the blocks and ramps to get that marble moving. So many possibilities! So many ways to play!

March 9, 2015 at 9:07 pmWe have a wooden marble run set too!!! I love how it forces the child to really concentrate and be gentle so that the alignments don’t run. It’s always so mesmerizing for my 3 year old to watch the 8 year old work it! And all this while I thought it was just good fun, who knew I was doing a STEM activity with them! HA! Deceptively educational 😉
