          Comments about Marble Run Block Set:

          My kids and I love this toy. I have searched for a store/website that offers creative toys that don't flash lights/beep/talk ever since my older son was diagnosed with autism and I was told that electronic toys were not good for him. It is very, very hard to find toys that don't have some kind of electronics. This toy (and website) shows that kids can have fun with "just" some wood and marbles, without fancy technology.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
