Specifications
The Trestle Tracks Deluxe Set offers a captivating marble-run experience that combines engineering, creativity, and problem-solving. Each set includes hollow stacking cubes and a variety of perfectly flat tracks that create an innovative, self-propelling system. The subtle widening of the track from one end to the other generates an invisible slope, allowing marbles to glide forward effortlessly. Children can follow guided builds or explore their imagination by designing custom structures, encouraging spatial reasoning and hands-on experimentation.
The translucent plastic construction allows children to see the marbles travel through each piece, providing an exciting visual learning experience. This set is particularly engaging when used on a lightbox, as the translucent colours illuminate, creating a dynamic and interactive play environment.
Designed to support both STEM and STEAM learning in primary school settings, this resource promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, perseverance, and creative design. By integrating elements of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics, the Trestle Tracks Deluxe Set encourages a multidisciplinary approach to learning through play. Early exposure to STEM and STEAM concepts helps children develop confidence in their abilities, supporting a lifelong passion for exploration and discovery.
