Trestle Tracks New Deluxe Set

Trestle Tracks Deluxe Set turns a traditional marble run into a clever engineering challenge, with tracks designed to gently propel marbles forward without motors or batteries. The tracks widen almost imperceptibly from one end to the other, creating a fascinating slow motion effect that makes it just as interesting to watch as it is to build.

This deluxe set adds even more ways to experiment, with a swirling funnel, rubber band bouncer, staircase, alternating switch and zig zag track to incorporate into each creation. Children can follow the included building ideas or experiment with their own designs, testing what works, making adjustments and discovering how motion, gravity and engineering work along the way.

Made with the quality, thoughtful design and craftsmanship Fat Brain Toys is known for, Trestle Tracks Deluxe Set combines open ended construction with hands on STEAM learning for a marble run children can rebuild and explore in countless ways.

Why You'll Love It
