3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good but I've seen better, December 28, 2004

My kids (ages 3 and 5) like this Marble Run, but they really can't build the structure very well by themselves. I have to build it for them and then they play with it for a while. Unfortunately, this model doesn't have very stable "bases" upon which to build. I've seen other brands which are much more stable and easy for kids to build upon. Perhaps this model is better for older kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 3 Year Old Loves this Toy, January 2, 2005

This review is from: Quercetti Marble Run Vortis 80 Pieces (Toy)

We gave this to my 3 year old for Christmas and he loves it. We have to build the tower for him, but he's been playing with it ever since. It's great because it's not too fragile. Unlike some toys when gets excited and bumps into it, it may fall over, but it doesn't fall apart. So less rebuilding on our part. The only concern is that we also have a 1 year old and she wants to put the marbles in her mouth all the time so we have to watch out for her. But other than that it's great.

This review is from: Quercetti Marble Run Vortis 80 Pieces (Toy)

My five year old son got this for Christmas. He is frustrated because it is difficult for him to build by himself. Once I finish building it he loves it except that one of the three base legs doesn't lie flat on the table and this effects the stability of the game. A bit frustrating for both of us but my son does enjoy playing with it.
