Marble Run Starter Kit

The one to build first if a marble run is new to you.

$22.99

Every marble run teaches one lesson: a marble goes where the slope sends it, and nowhere else. This is the plainest version of that lesson — a direct course, clear stages, nothing extra competing for attention.

Begin here if the idea is unfamiliar, or if you would rather learn the fundamentals before choosing between harder routes. A single uninterrupted descent is a genuine result, and it makes whatever comes next easier to read.

• For first-timers, and for anyone who wants the basics settled first.
• For a short session when a complete result is the goal.
• On a low table, where it can be set going whenever someone walks past.

• Illustrated English assembly guide
• Spare parts sheet included
• Recommended for ages 14+

Who this one is for

The first marble run to build, and the least expensive kit we sell. It teaches the one lesson every run depends on — a marble goes where the slope sends it — with nothing else in the way.

Choosing between the Marble Run kits

The Model Kit ($29.99) adds junctions and route choices once you have that lesson.
