The Thames & Kosmos Extension for Metal Ball Obstacle Course engineering toy adds a maze-like track with tight turns, where the balls pass through the “snake” and change speed. Correctly positioning it on the track is essential for the balls to pass through. This kit complements the Gecko Run starter set and helps develop engineering and problem-solving skills by demonstrating physics in action.
The tracks attach to smooth surfaces with repositionable nano-adhesive pads, leaving no damage or sticky residue. They can be arranged in different configurations on smooth surfaces such as windows, mirrors, doors, walls, refrigerators, and cabinets. The tracks are made from renewable raw materials.
