Marble Race

A couple of years ago Mei-Li got this marble race contraption for Christmas. Initially she was just too short to build it, so I had to, and that wasn't much fun for a snickle. Now that she's taller, she's rediscovered it and has been having lots of fun.

racing the marbles!

It looks kind of like a Dr. Seuss tower, if you ask me, colourful and precarious. I like it. It was especially exciting tonight when ML dropped the tin marble case when she was tidying up. Oh yeah, there was a crash and then 30 or so marbles raced to every corner of the main floor. Is anyone surprised that we didn't find 30 marbles?
