The concept of rolling objects down inclined planes can be traced to early civilizations. However, the modern marble run as a toy emerged in the late 19th century, gaining popularity in Europe. Initially made of wood or metal, these early marble runs evolved over time, incorporating new materials and designs. Today, marble runs continue to captivate children and adults alike, fostering creativity, problem-solving skills, and spatial awareness through interactive play.
