Mindware Marble Run Review and Giveaway

Since I homeschool, I am always on the look out for toys that are not just fun, but educational. 
If I can get Educational toys that the kids think are fun, then I have double the value. 

I recently found this site called Mindware. 
They have all kinds of fun games and toys for kids that double as being educational. 

This is the one we got to try.

Marble Run

The kids play with something similar to this at the science center, and I have seen cheaper versions of this at other retail stores, so I was a little sceptical. 

When the boys received it, they couldn't wait to open to box!

Here is a video of them showing how much fun they had. 



They played with it for 4 hours the day it came in the mail. 

They built it, tore it down and rebuilt it again, I love that it kept them occupied. 

This 103 piece set retails for $39.95 and can be purchased here.

This set was much better quality than the others I have seen in other stores, and with 103 pieces they had alot more fun with it. 

Mindware toys has many educational toys, these are some of the ones I want to try next!
