Explore the wonders of physics with Gravitrax kids’ toys 

Playing marbles just got a whole lot more exciting thanks to Gravitrax kids’ toys by Ravensburger!

Taking the classic children’s game to the next level, this modular toy is fantastic for inspiring strategic thinking, observational skills, and creativity. Made up of various cardboard and plastic building blocks, anything from simple, gravity-induced marble runs to rollercoasters and complicated Rube Goldstein contraptions is possible.

Little ones are free to design at their own pace. Start with the simplest configurations, then add in fun goodies that step up the complexity. Get ready to watch the course come to life in front of your eyes, with the help of this crowd-favourite range.

Gravitrax children’s toys teach through play

Here at Toybox Tales, we’re dedicated to making learning fun. One of the ways we do that is by delivering Geavitrax kids’ toys directly from our Melbourne store to homes all across Australia, where the excitement really kicks off.

Starting with the basic 200-piece set, little ones learn about gravity, cause and effect, speed, and so much more. Every configuration teaches them something new about the built environment and how objects behave within it. No equations or number-crunching at this point – just the kind of pure fun and creative problem solving that all of our STEM toys provide.

Intended for ages 7+, these sets lay down the foundations for an interest in physics, engineering, design, and architecture later in life. By the time high school math and physics come up, children easily grasp the concepts at hand, introduced through the world’s most amazing marble runs.

Give your child a head start and see where playtime leads them.

Level up with action and extension packs

The beauty of Gravitrax kids’ toys is that they grow with your little ones. Basic designs are constructed using four cardboard baseplates, a range of tiles, and plastic pieces, all found in the starter set.

Fitting them together is simple, too – all plastic components have a hexagonal bottom, matching perfectly into hexagonal holes on the baseplate. Creating anything from single-run routes to multi-way obstacles on which several marbles can be launched at the same time is challenging at first, but there's plenty of room for growth.

Action and extension packs boost the game to new heights, both literally and figuratively. Featuring scoops, magnetic components, and all kinds of other goodies, these packs challenge children's comprehension and imagination like never before. Working out where to place each piece is an experiment in itself, leading to hours of play and learning. Watch what happens when new laws of physics are introduced into the mix!

Don’t worry if your little one isn’t quite ready for the more advanced pieces yet. There are plenty of beginner's tasks for them to follow, arriving with each set. Simple instructions in a range of languages make it easy to understand how to recreate basic routes, helping young ones grasp the concept of the game. From there, it’s only a matter of time before they construct their own spectacular kinetic sculptures.

Feel free to add other building and construction toys into the mix as the layers of complexity keep growing. Shop online now at Toybox Tales in Melbourne, Australia.
