Thames & Kosmos Gecko Run Marble Run Loop Expansion Pack – Extra Stunt for Vertical Marble Run Starter Set; Fast, No-Mess Setup with Residue-Free Nano-Adhesive Pads for Hours of Creative Play

Description

Gecko Run takes classic marble runs to the next level with new creative challenges and less restrictive building requirements. This innovative marble run uses a specially designed system of flexible tracks that does not require any support structures. Traditional marble runs require lots of pieces to create vertical height, but with Gecko Run, your doors, windows, cupboards, bookcases – virtually any smooth surface – become part of your track, allowing you to build higher with fewer pieces. Attach the tracks to surfaces with the help of clever nano pads, which work like nanoscopic suction cups, to create a strong, but temporary bond. Because the pads are not glue-based, they can be quickly and easily repositioned many times without any damaging adhesives or sticky residue. A quick wipe with a microfiber cloth will keep your pads ready for action! The versatile tracks are made from renewable, durable, and sustainably sourced raw materials. Thanks to their wide range of motion and flexibility, you can create hills and jumps, and even turn corners to generate a limitless number of tricks and stunts. No two tracks are ever the same! Each unique configuration promotes hands-on experimentation, supports problem-solving through trial-and-error, develops motor skills, and encourages creativity for kids and their grownups! With the Loop Expansion Pack, you can bring even more speed, action, and experimental fun to your Gecko Run marble run. How much speed does the marble need to race perfectly through the loop? Experiment and find out! Review: The ball was smaller than i anticipated - The ball was smaller than i anticipated but i still give this 5 stars because i am sure i just missed the measurements somewhere. Plus the track actually does stick to the wall and various other surfaces quite well regardless of how many times i have removed and restuck them (maybe 10+ times by now without washing the sticky pad). The ball glides through the curves of the track smoothly and so controlled its as if the ball and the track were magnetically attracted to eachother. The loop requires a good amount of speed to be able to get through but its not difficult to get the correct angle and there are ways to do it with a curve too. I will continue to play with this until my child is of an age this would be safe for…… :-) Review: Great creative toy - Wonderful little present for my son‘s birthday
