Ball tracks are a fascinating toy for children. With our checklist and various product recommendations, we will help you find the right marble run for your child.
- Ball tracks are made of wood or plastic.
- Wood is much more stable and also more durable. It often appears in plain colors and looks visually more high-quality.
- Plastic, on the other hand, is easier to handle in terms of care and cleaning. In addition, it has a lighter weight, so it is flexible to move, but also breaks more quickly.
- So you should go for wood at least up to the age of 6.
- With both materials, good workmanship is important so that no splinters or the like stick out and no injuries are the result.
- For small children , the size of the marbles is crucial so that you can not choke.
- Thus, the balls for children up to 3 years should have a minimum diameter of 5 cm.
- The marble run must not be contaminated with harmful substances , as indicated by a bad smell, for example. Accordingly, look for test seals (e.g. Stiftung Warentest).
- You must not find any sharp or pointed corners/edges on which your child can injure himself.
- Until your child starts school, you should always supervise your child so that no accidents happen.
- We also advise you to check the product reviews of other customers to avoid disappointment and achieve maximum safety.
- In addition to the fun of playing, marble runs offer a great side effect. They encourage your child through play. In the toddler age, however, the ball track should have only a few functions, so as not to overtax.
- From the age of 4, more advanced trains can be used and as soon as your child starts school, larger, detailed marble runs become interesting.
- These include motor skills or fine motor skills and eye and hand coordination. These include cognition, i.e. the brain activity of your child.
- In addition, there is creativity, imagination and freedom through partially convertible tracks as well as various functions.
- Later in school, for example, physics can be better understood.
