This is kind of neat little play set. It offers unlimited building structers for creating mazes for your marbles to travel through. In total there are 67 pieces to this unit, counting the marbles added in the set.
The pieces go together easily and quickly. There are unlimted ways to connect the pieces. They are much like lego's in a larger version for marbles. It is an ideal toy for children 4ish to about 10. Past that unless you buy lots of kits would probably lose the interest of children above 10 for the most part. The maze pieces can lead to hours of entertainment and can start working the creative resources of small minds. Working the creative sources of the mind is certainly the most important reason for a toy of this nature. Second comes the hours of fun, just do not let the kids know that the fun part of it is second.
I do have a couple of complaints about this toy marble maze though. To start with I think they need to attach better to one another. The pieces are sloppy and can fall apart easily. Next there was no instructions included. I know that there is no set form to consider when building a maze like this but having a base modle to work from to get the kids started would have been nice. Lastly once the maze is put togehter and you run marbles through it, it will start to loosen up at the joints from the occasional bumping as you are inserting the marbles, so there is constant reforming the maze during use.
If you are looking for a toy for working the mind as well as good time sink, this marble maze will take care of both. It has unlimited options for a marble maze and can provide hours of entertainment. I would like to thank Sharp Gear and affiliates for sending me this Marble Maze to try out and share my opinion.
