DIY Toys: Marble Run

It's really satisfying to make toys and games out of stuff we were going to throw away. It was pretty simple and quick, and we started playing with it almost immediately. We made two holes at the top so two could play at the same time. It was originally intended for marbles, but we found that casuarina cones (picked up from Bishan Park) were lighter and slower, so we could actually watch them make their way down the marble run!


Materials needed:




  1. Cardboard box (Mine was from an iHerb delivery!) 
  2. Toilet roll 
  3. Glue 
  4. Scissors and penknife
  5. Paint
  6. Marbles or Casuarina cones 
Instructions:
  1. Cut the cover flaps off the box.
  2. Cut the empty toilet rolls in half and stick them to the inside of the box. 
  3. Cut holes at the top to drop marbles in.
  4. Paint everything!
