Sometimes the simplest games are also the best. My 4 year old was looking for some entertainment whilst I was busy so I suggested he make a lego marble run. His first comment was that he couldn’t but with a little encouragement he did!

How to make a Lego marble run
The best thing about this activity is that there is no right or wrong way to do it! The 4 year old started off with a base board and added lego bricks, making a difficult run for his marbles to run through.
He experimented a lot, moving bricks, adding a wall of bricks around the outside of the base board, and making the bricks high to keep the larger marble in.
It was great watching him work and making more complicated runs.
Eventually he added a second base board, and a couple of towers! I can definitely see this being added to and played with again and again.
BB is definitely preparing to be an engineer……..xxxx……..very complex construction.
