    My grandson and I had a lot of fun putting this kit together and playing with it afterwards. It's so easy to change the parts around to explore how to make different paths for the marbles. He said it reminded him of playing miniature golf and trying to get the ball to bounce off a wall or an obstacle, which led to an excellent discussion regarding math and physics.

    Label which side foam goes on would help. A fun project

    This was a gift for a grand nephew who turned 10. He was able to put together by himself and we had fun playing with it.
