I had been trying to find an affordable marble run for our ball unit and finally found a couple on Craigslist. The kids are absolutely fascinated by it.
Everyday Kerry helps the children to build different marble runs. The Quadrilla sets have the potential to build a variety of different runs, however, they’re not as stable as I would have liked. While building the sets the children are also learning to be aware of their surroundings and their bodies. That’s a huge task for a preschooler.
The first day the kids watched Kerry build a run and then took turns dropping the marbles in the top slot.
As the week progressed different runs were built. As the kids get more experience and learn to be careful around the runs we will get to build bigger and more complicated structures. There are many videos on Youtube featuring Quadrilla and other runs including some homemade ones.
