MARBLE RUN, ITS FEATURES AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE AS AN EDUCATIONAL GAME

Marble runs can be called a learning game which helps a child to build up the sense of creation, arrangement and understand the different shapes perfectly. It encourages the children to bring out their creative side and make experiments on their own. As the total arrangement of the structure takes a good amount of time the parents can finish their jobs peacefully as well while the child is engaged in the game. There are many types of marble runs like wood marble run, plastic marble runs etc. As the game is mainly played by the kids of a very tender age it is advised to go for wood marble run as they are made of natural wooden materials and hence, not harmful for the children.
