Creating a DIY marble run

Creating a DIY marble run can be a fun and creative project to do with your kids. Here’s how you can do it:

Materials:

• Cardboard tubes (such as from paper towels or wrapping paper)
• Cardboard
• Scissors
• Glue
• Tape
• Small balls or marbles

Instructions:

1. Cut the cardboard tubes into different lengths and widths. You can also cut them at angles to create ramps.
2. Cut out cardboard pieces to create bases for your marble run. You can create different levels or slopes using the cardboard pieces.
3. Use glue to attach the cardboard tubes to the bases, creating the structure of the marble run.
4. Once the glue has dried, test your marble run by rolling small balls or marbles through it. Adjust the structure as needed to make sure the marbles can roll smoothly through the tubes and onto the next level.
5. Decorate the marble run with paint or markers, or add additional features such as tunnels or obstacles.
6. Have fun playing with your DIY marble run and experiment with different ways to make the marbles travel through it!
