Description:

The Trestle Tracks Deluxe Set is a mesmerizing marble-track experience. Each set is made up of hollow stacking cubes and a variety of perfectly flat tracks. The paths cut out of each track widen almost imperceptibly from one end to the other, creating an invisible slope that propels the marbles forward.

  • Unique marble run with marbles propelled by widening tracks
  • Encourages spatial reasoning, creativity, engineering skills, problem-solving
  • Tracks suspended by hollow stacking cubes
  • Follow guided builds or invent your own structures

This set is great to see the marble run through each of the pieces as the translucent plastic makes it easy to see where the marble is on the track. This marble run is great to use on light box to see the translucent colours light up and watch the marble run through each of the pieces.
