Design & Drill - Marble Maze
Time to design and build some seriously cool marble runs. Using the power drill, your child can fasten the track pieces onto the board and create their own marble maze.
They can follow the challenge cards for guided builds or let their imagination take over and design freely. Once the track is built, release the marble and watch it roll. It’s easy to spot where tweaks or improvements are needed.
A great way to learn about construction and practise basic tool use through play.
The set includes:
- 1 design board
- 15 track pieces
- 1 child-friendly power drill
- 20 bolts
- 1 ball
- 2 wall brackets
- 5 double-sided maze challenge cards.
The maze measures 25 x 30 cm.
The power drill requires 3 AAA batteries (not included).

What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Suitable for children aged 5 yrs. to 9 yrs.Building and constructing is fun, a bit time consuming, and very educational. We can certainly write a long book about how building and construction play develops your child's fine motor skills, creativity, and hand-eye coordination as well as interest in entrepreneurship and understanding of geometry.
While playing, your child also gets real-life experience with problem-solving when it comes to figuring out how to build the construction so it doesn't fall over. Your child's construction play with all sorts of building materials makes it fun for them to concentrate. Also, it's so cool and satisfying to construct a tall, tall tower or build the world's longest marble run, or to create a really cool domino track and film it when it topples.
Develops essential skills that really benefit your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- Gives your child plenty of opportunities to unleash their imagination.
- Supports hand-eye coordination, a skill we rely on for instance when we throw, catch, or kick the ball that comes flying towards us in PE class, when we cut a straight line line with scissors, or when we need to pour a glass of water without missing.
- Supports children's proprioception, which you may also know as the kinesthetic sense or the body awareness sense.
