Connetix Ball Run Pack: marble run fun in pastel

Building first, then letting marbles roll – hardly any toy combines construction and aha moments as beautifully as a magnetic tile marble run. The Ball Run Pack Pastel by Connetix with 106 pieces is our favourite for this. Here we show you what is in the set and why it is worth it.

Versatile tiles for ever new runs

The coloured connecting tiles can be combined freely – so a new run is created every time. Your child experiments with shapes and patterns, rebuilds, extends and starts again. That supports imagination and spatial thinking, entirely without instructions.

Wooden balls for smooth, even runs

The eight pastel wooden balls roll smoothly through the run thanks to their sleek surface. Wood gives them a pleasant weight and durability – and the soft rolling sounds far nicer than plastic.

Ribbed tubes with effect

The transparent, ribbed tubes guide the balls and create pretty light and sound effects along the way. They make the run not only more functional but also an eye-catcher – your child can watch the ball along its entire journey.

A stable base with the ball run squares

The 48 square ball run squares are the framework of every construction: stable enough for tall towers, flexible enough for constant rebuilding. Along the way your child learns how structures carry weight – and the run grows with every idea.

Y-tubes for exciting junctions

At the Y-shaped tubes the path splits: which way will the ball go? These little moments of surprise are what make the appeal – and invite races with two balls.

Who is the set worth it for?

Recommended from 3 years, exciting well into primary school age – and compatible with all other Connetix sets, such as the Creative Packs. Where marble runs fit into development is shown in our overview Toys by age; what to know about magnetic tile safety is covered in the magnetic tiles guide.
