I bought this starter set for my 6-year-old son, and it has been a big hit. The pieces are sturdy and fit together well, making it easy for him to build different tracks. He loves experimenting with how the marbles roll, and it's fun to see him learn about speed and gravity while playing. Victor · johnlewis.com
