Cuboro combines building with the marble run for endless fun for all ages (3+). This award-winning block and marble run toy from Switzerland caps off my list of cool toys for boys because it is just about the coolest toy ever. Cuboro is good for years of fun. As the children grow older so can their creations become more complex. It is also a fun toy for adults. It works well for group play or independent play. This heritage toy is really great for getting the brain working, planning ahead, problem-solving, and being creative.

Cuboro marble run is unique because kids actually use wooden blocks to build the marble run themselves. The blocks have marble run tracks and tunnels bored in them and through them in unique ways that make the children think about how they can assemble a passageway that will roll. Cuboro uses only FCS certified wood to make their wood blocks so you can be certain that this wooden toy is created in an environmentally friendly and  sustainable way.  The Cuboro Standard and Cuboro Basis Starter Kits allow a huge number of possibilities but they also offer supplemental sets and sixpacks!
