The History of Marble Run toys
Marble run toys are among the oldest continuously popular children’s construction toys. Originally, mass-produced glass marbles, with their classic swirly interiors, were invented in the 1890s in Akron, Ohio by glassblower James Harvey Leighton. However, games involving clay marbles have been depicted in ancient literature, including the works of Ovid. Rational Toys, which teach children about physics and engineering, date back to the late eighteenth century, as first described in Maria and R. L. Edgeworth book Practical Education (1798). This pedigree is evidence that marble run toys are a tried and tested mind-expanding and delightful toy for young children.
Why buy Wooden Marble Runs for kids?

Are Wooden Marble Runs expensive?
The time and effort your kids will use to build marble runs, create different ones each time, is so worth the price of a kit. A simple, colourful spiral marble run can cost a bit over $30, or a more complex 100 piece kit can cost the same. Some of our hand made wooden marble runs are worth more, but they last longer, can be combined with multiple kits to give you a marble-based engineering masterpiece.
