Marble racing toys have been around for ages, and with good reason. Kids love the speed, competition and noise; and if all those marbles don’t make enough racket, the bell at the finish line will. My design is simple enough that kids can join you in the shop for part of the building process and, with your supervision, lend a hand. The more comfortable you make your kids in the shop, the easier skills will come to them if they decide to have their own shops as adults.
