What our experts think
The 92 piece ball run pack was hugely popular with our testers, who loved building their own designs and seeing what happened! They also really liked creating their own games from it, such as setting up a goal at the end. It’s great that the set works with the other Connetix construction kits, giving children loads of opportunities to make a range of exciting models.
Building their own working ball track is a great way for children to develop their creative thinking and logic skills. As well as thinking about how to make a strong structure, children need to consider the route the ball will take by applying their knowledge of gravity, and adapt their model as needed.
Skills developed
– Promotes creative thinking and design
– Supports logic and problem solving as children attempt to build successful models
– Helps children learn about gravity, to build a working ball run
