9. Marble Run Engineering

Using cardboard tubes, paper cups, and tape, kids can build a marble run that explores gravity, momentum, and problem-solving. They can challenge themselves to create the longest or most complex path.

Why it works:

  • Introduces engineering and physics
  • Encourages planning and creativity
  • Great for teamwork or solo play

Tip: Color-code the tubes and pathways to make the marble run visually appealing.
