The highlights
- +Flexible tracks stick to various smooth surfaces using reusable nano pads, eliminating the need for bulky support structures.
- +The design allows for building taller and more complex marble runs with fewer pieces.
- +Made from sustainable materials, the set supports eco-conscious play and durability.
The full picture
Heads up
- Nano pads require occasional cleaning to maintain adhesion.
- Smooth surfaces are necessary; rough or porous surfaces won't hold the tracks.
- Some assembly and experimentation is needed to create stable runs.
Before you buy
- Confirm you have suitable smooth surfaces to attach tracks.
- Check that the recipient is comfortable with hands-on building toys.
- Plan space for setting up and testing different track configurations.
Product details
Gecko Run takes classic marble runs to the next level with new creative challenges and less restrictive building requirements. This innovative marble run uses a specially designed system of flexible tracks that does not require any support structures. Traditional marble runs require lots of pieces to create vertical height, but with Gecko Run, your doors, windows, cupboards, bookcases – virtually any smooth surface – become part of your track, allowing you to build higher with fewer pieces. Attach the tracks to surfaces with the help of clever nano pads, which work like nanoscopic suction cups, to create a strong, but temporary bond. Because the pads are not glue-based, they can be quickly and easily repositioned many times without any damaging adhesives or sticky residue. A quick wipe with a microfiber cloth will keep your pads ready for action! The versatile tracks are made from renewable, durable, and sustainably sourced raw materials. Thanks to their wide range of motion and flexibility, you can create hills and jumps, and even turn corners to generate a limitless number of tricks and stunts. No two tracks are ever the same! Each unique configuration promotes hands-on experimentation, supports problem-solving through trial-and-error, develops motor skills, and encourages creativity for kids and their grownups! The Gecko Run Starter Set includes everything you need to zip, zag, bounce, skip, and hurdle into an awesome engineering adventure. A 16-page illustrated manual guides you through setting up your first runs and teaches you how all the different elements work. Witness physics in action! Use independently or combine with any of the expansion packs.
