Perfect transaction! My preschool group loves this. As an early childhood educator I appreciate the STEM learning and developmental benefits — cause and effect, gravity, speed, momentum. Well-made, packaged with care, and shipped quickly to Canada. I would recommend and shop here again.
Wooden Ball Run
A wooden ball-run board with a winding track and three beech balls. A Montessori toy for watching motion and gravity.
One serpentine track routed into a single birch board: a ball drops in at the top and takes its time swinging left and right, all the way down. This wooden ball run board turns motion, speed and gravity into something a child can set off again and again and simply watch.
Lay it flat on the floor, or prop one end up on a cushion: the steeper the tilt, the faster the ball travels. Swap a lighter ball for a heavier one and the run changes character. Small cars and trains take the winding path too.
