4-Level Cardboard Marble Run

✅ It works!

CardboardHot glueTriangles

A marble run with a spiral, a tunnel, a jump and a landing cup.

Materials

  • 6 big delivery boxes
  • 1 roll of tape (gone)
  • Hot glue (with a grown-up)
  • 1 marble (plus 3 lost marbles)

The engineering bit

Flat cardboard bends. Cardboard folded into triangles does not. That one idea saved the whole tunnel.

Next version

I want to add a lift that carries the marble back to the top so it never stops.
