3 Easy Steps to create the BEST Winter-Edition Marble Run!

· · Comments

It’s not fun being cooped up due to the harsh winter weather and social distancing. Sigh! Perhaps, you won’t meet family and not visit Santa at the mall. Christmas is not cancelled, though! With a little effort and creativity, you can do fun activities with kids and make some wonderful memories. 

Snowy mountains and swift slopes inspired this, shall we say, Ski Run!  

What’s so amazing about Marble Run is that it’s completely open-ended. There are countless ways to build and design your Marble Run track, so the possibilities are endless. One can get more creative by adding new characters or different background printouts to tell a story.

Moreover, not only is it fun to play with, you can also use this time to create your personal holiday décor. And the best part is... Everyone can be a part of it! Rather than sitting the kids down in front of holiday movie (although we love doing that too!), make this Christmas extra special for everyone!  

Come along! It’s time to spruce up your kids’ playroom into a winter wonderland!
