Move the colorful plastic pieces into slits to create your very own track for your ball to fall through. Problem solve and work as a team, try new ways to get that ball moving faster!

It is like a maze and you decide how it works. Have a ball!!

 

  What's Happening Here?
Children will be using gross motor skills, use cause & effect thinking, start basic experimentation, understanding of simple mechanics, and the effects of movement & gravity.

Discovery Questions:
Ask to have your child show you what happens when they turn the crank either direction. Ask your child(ren) to help create a "race" track for the balls to go down. Ask your child(ren) to figure out which ball will go down the track the fastest.
