Ravensburger‘s GraviTrax brand already has an established history of interesting sets allowing kids to construct marble paths, with lessons on gravity, electricity, and more. A new line from the company aims to welcome a different generation of kids to marble-racing play. GraviTrax Junior is a version of the marble run line aimed at kids ages 3 and up.
The first set in the new line is the GraviTrax Junior: My Jungle Starter Set, featuring plants and animals found in the jungle. The 100-piece set is made primarily from renewable resources, with a mixture of bioplastic and wood fibers.
The set introduces kids to STEM concepts and problem-solving in a way that’s designed to be fun and not frustrating. Kids can design new marble tracks every time they open the set, sending their marbles into mazes to meet animals, a seesaw, a hammer, and more. Once they’ve made as many tracks as they can think of, they will have even more options with future GraviTrax Junior sets, all compatible with each other.
The new Gravitrax Junior: My Jungle Starter Set is available now exclusively at Barnes & Noble and specialty retailers. Ravensburger has plans to release future expansions in the line, including sets with other natural location themes.
