Ages 8+ Trestle Tracks Pro takes marble run building in a completely different direction. Rather than using traditional grooved tracks, its clever flat track system gradually widens to gently propel the marbles forward, creating a mesmerising slow motion effect that is just as fascinating to watch as it is to build. Designed for children who love figuring out how things work, this innovative Fat Brain Toys marble run turns physics and engineering into hands on play. Build a track, test it, make adjustments and discover what happens when marbles are caught, bounced, combined, released and redirected through the Pro set's collection of trick tracks. With the thoughtful engineering, premium materials and quality craftsmanship Fat Brain Toys is known for, Trestle Tracks Pro offers an engaging combination of open ended construction and STEAM learning that can keep evolving as children's building skills and ideas grow.
