Great selection of hard to find and unique toys. I love all of the information around origin (where they are made). Some of the toys are a few dollars more than some other on-line or retail stores but you have a good "free shipping" program which can make up for the difference. Tonia from Calgary, Canada
Excellent customer service, knowledgeable staff, wonderful selection and Canadian too. Any questions I have had we answered very promptly, and thoroughly. This is essentially the only place we shop for toys. I highly recommend this company to friends and family. Laura from Whistler, Canada

I bought this just before he turned 3. The quality is there. He loves to stack them, but it is a little too advanced for him to build himself. He loves to set the marbles on the run once its up.
Fun for every age Laura of Toronto, Ontario from 2/5/2010 2:37:21 PM
We purchased the large Haba Ball Track as a Christmas present for our three children. Before ordering it, I looked into alternatives such as the Quadrilla marble run, wondering if it might be more challenging for our six-year old. In the end we decided that we preferred the flexibility of the Haba run, which can be endlessly reconfigured, and which can be used with all of the Haba block sets.
The marble run has been a huge hit. Our 21 month-old loves to roll marbles down the straight chutes into a plastic bucket (always closely supervised because the marbles do pose a choking hazard). Our three-year old has used parts of the track to create a suspension bridge for her trains. Our six-year old incorporates the marble run into the defense system for his castle (built of Haba blocks). My husband and I even play with it, challenging each other to create complex runs with plenty of turns and drops.
There is lots of scope to add other household items to the set: aluminum pie plates, upside down drums, large funnels, cardboard tubes and so on.
If I had had the money, I would have ordered the Master Builder set, but we have been able to do quite a bit with the Large Basic set. The smaller basic set would have had too few blocks for our purposes.
The only drawback to the Haba ball track as opposed to some other marble runs is that the pieces do not lock together (obviously, since they are blocks meant to be stacked). This means that every creation is vulnerable to pets, crawling infants, vacuum cleaners and so on. My son has had a few melt-downs when his architectural wonders have been ruined by his baby sister. We call this character education )
A great toy which will grow with our kids!

great blocks Tina of Toronto, Ontario from 8/26/2008 3:47:26 AM
My son got this before he turned three. He likes to play it, and he tries to build the tracks himself, but still has difficulties. When older boys between 6 and 8 come to our house they immediately steer at the box and end up playing with the little ones.
The blocks are very nice to the touch and I am sure the blocks will last a few generations.

The following developmental skills and benefits are encouraged by Ball Track Basic Construction Set - Large learning toy:
Ball Track Basic Construction Set - Large develops Motor skills Motor skills are actions that involve the movement of muscles in the body. They are divided into two groups: gross motor skills, which include the larger movements of arms, legs, feet, or the entire body (crawling, running, and jumping); and fine motor skills, which are smaller actions, such as grasping an object between the thumb and a finger or using the lips and tongue to taste objects or for speech.
Ball Track Basic Construction Set - Large develops Fine motor skills Fine motor skills involve a refined use of the small muscles controlling the hand, fingers, thumb, wrists, feet, toes, lips, and tongue.
The development of these skills allows one to be able to complete tasks such as writing, drawing, buttoning and speech. Fine motor abilities develop over time, starting with primitive gestures such as grabbing at objects, that develop into basic grasping and manipulation skills to more precise activities that involve precise hand-eye coordination in preschool years and onwards.
The preschooler becomes quite adept in self-help, construction, holding grips, and bimanual control tasks requiring the use of both hands. When the child enters middle childhood they make great progress in their artistic abilities. They begin to express themselves through drawing, sculpting, and clay modeling.
Ball Track Basic Construction Set - Large develops Hand Eye Coordination Hand-eye coordination is the ability of the vision system to coordinate the information received through the eyes to control, guide, and direct the hands in the accomplishment of a given task, such as handwriting or catching a ball
Ball Track Basic Construction Set - Large develops problem solving/Cognitive Development Cognitive development is the process by which the brain develops the abilities to learn, remember and solve problems.
The foundation for these abilities starts during infancy as the brain begins forming countless synapses, or connections, between brain or nerve cells. The brain is made up of neurons (nerve cells resembling long wires).
When a baby is born there are relatively few connections between the neurons, and it is you and your baby's primary task to make new ones. Connections (synapses) between brain cells are made when a baby receives stimulation. As you engage and responds to your baby, you are helping to activate the formation of synapses. The synapses will combine to form neural pathways, and the configuration of those pathways will determine the child's ability to learn, relate to people, manage emotions, and function in the world.
