marble maze

When I was younger I had a marble maze. This sweet toy was completely customizable and could be set up in unlimited ways. Most of the pieces were basic tubes but I also had a funnel, a plinko type deal, a spinning wheel, and a couple of swirly tubes. You can set up all sorts of paths for the marbles to follow and run lots are marbles at a time. This sweet toy may seem very simple and that is part of its appeal. I have also seen other versions of this sweet toy that magnetically connect to anything metal (fridge, etc). This adds another level to the marble maze because you don't have to worry about it balancing and having support to hold the maze up. You can also improvise and come up with your own paths and mazes using stuff around the house. Sweet.
