This review is from: Q-BA-MAZE Stacking Cubes with Marble Run: 50-pack Cool Colors (Toy)

My kids (ages 5, 8 and 11) love Q-Ba-Maze, and my five-year-old has played with it almost every day since we received it as a gift four weeks ago. He started making tall, straight-down "shoots" for marble drops, and then quickly got the hang of how the cascading pieces slide into each other. Now he makes constructions for simultaneous marble drops to see which route "wins." As an architect, I like that Q-Ba-Maze has inherent structure and yet has open-ended design possibilities.

This review is from: Q-BA-MAZE Stacking Cubes with Marble Run: 50-pack Cool Colors (Toy)

The kids didn't know what this was about at first. I convinced them to open it then started playing with it myself (you'll find that adults take to it, too). Soon after, they became absorbed and I had to give up my pieces so that they could work on their mazes. No, this isn't the next GameBoy but it does insist they think beyond pressing a few buttons. Be warned, the marbles that come with the toy are essentially the size of ball bearings. You'll want to grab and hide most of the marbles before they all disappear. You'll also want to be careful not to give this toy to kids who may still be putting things in their mouth or whose sitting grandparents may slip on a stray marble.

I truly thought that my two girls (ages 7 & 9) would play with this for hours. However, once Christmas passed, the toy hasn't been out of it's box since. They love to build, so I'm not sure why this one didn't grab them. Oh well. I think it's a great toy myself.
