Quadrilla Marble Run - Race to the Finish, 58 pcs

The activity is wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• Supports hand-eye coordination, which you rely on for instance when kicking or catching a ball that comes flying at you in PE class, or when cutting a straight line with a pair of scissors.
• Supports your child's sense of cause and effect, which concerns the awareness that one thing (the cause) leads to something else (the effect).

Measures 54 x 33 x 20 cm.
Suitable for children aged 4 yrs. to 11 yrs.

Building and construction play is very educational, very fun, and a bit time consuming. We'll leave out a long and tedious essay about how this type of play develops your child's creativity, hand-eye coordination, and fine motor skills as well as understanding of geometry and interest in entrepreneurship.

With this type of play, your child also gets practical experience with problem-solving as they figure out how to design the construction so it doesn't suddenly collapse. Your child's construction play with all sorts of magnets, building blocks, or pieces develops their imagination and patience. Also, it's such a confidence boost to build the longest marble run ever or construct a skyscraper higher than yourself, or to create an impressive domino track and film it when it topples.
