Boredom Buster — Marble Run

Rainy weather keeping you indoors?? For a fun time, grab a ladder, a few cheap pool noodles, masking tape, and some marbles.

Cut pool noodles in half down the middle, then invite the kiddos to build a marble run to see how many times they can make the marble go around the ladder!! (Shorter kids may need the help of a step stool.) Start at the top of the ladder, and tape pool noodles together as you go to form one very long track.

Did you know that it’s scientifically proven to work better if you cheer on your marble? True story!

Go, marble, go!!! Goooooooooo!!!!!

Have fun!

Reminder — Marbles are fun for kids, but choking hazards for little ones. Use careful supervision.
