What our experts think
Our testers were delighted with the motorised train and elevator included in this marble run set. The Marble Rush Sky Elevator Set by V-Tech is a building set where marbles traverse a course of drops, shutes, slopes, and spiral, as well as a motorised conveyor-elevator and working train that help deliver the marbles to their intended destination. It includes various shaped tracks, connectors, and marbles, enabling kids to create intricate pathways for marbles to travel through. The addition of motorised parts with sound effects was a huge hit and a facilitator of pretend play and storytelling while using the set.
The children use the motorised train to collect marbles in the cargo car and transfer the marbles to the designed drop-off location. The ability to use the motorised conveyor to lift or transfer marbles across the set motivated the children to try repeated experiments with its capabilities. The product aims to combine fun and learning, fostering fine motor and visual perceptual skills, creativity, and problem-solving skills in young minds.
