Kullerbü – the marble run that grows with you!
Our HABA Kullerbü marble run grows with your kids' needs and playfully strengthens their fine motor, cognitive and creative skills, without overwhelming them. Kullerbü already invites the the very youngest from 1 year old to a real marble adventure. The marble run offers learning-fun in every developmental phase, whether 1, 2, 3, 4 years or older, and challenges them to experiment, try out new ways and keep at it, even when things get tricky. Check out our marble run in the video!
Children who play with marble runs today will do so tomorrow too! It is a toy that interesting for years remains and countless combinations offers. First, the parents help with assembly, later the older siblings support the little ones.
What 1-year-olds can do with Kullerbü
Explore balls with mouth & hands
reach for balls & let go again
Let balls roll on the floor & watch
Insert balls into simple tracks & let them roll
Setting up the right marble run for 1-year-olds
Children from the age of one reach for the balls with great joy and concentration, place them gently on the track, and watch in amazement what happens. This is how you set up the right track for them:
Marble Run Variant First Tumble
Marble run variant Kullerum
What 2-year-olds can do with Kullerbü
Recognize parts, hand them to you & thus help with assembly
reach deliberately for balls & let them roll on the lane
Recognize cause and effect = the ball knocks over the domino balls!
Learn first colors of balls & track sections
Of course, 2-year-olds still cannot build an entire track. But they can approach the construction as a game with a person 'who already knows how to do it' and pick out parts – this works with age-appropriate building suggestions and step-by-step instructions.
So many exciting tracks for 2-year-olds!
Together with your kids, you can decide what the track should look like – they will actively help you with that:
What 3-year-olds can do with Kullerbü
help set up the marble run & hand out parts
distinguish between one and several balls
Assemble parts of the track yourself
Perceive speeds & start small marble races
Building the large step-by-step marble run with 3-year-olds
Many kids aged 3 and up already pick out specific parts based on your description and help you build and snap them together. In no time the big track with left and right curves is created!
Build the professional marble run from the construction kit with 3-year-olds
In the marble run construction kit, all parts are included to build a real professional marble run with your 3-year-olds – with a marble whirlpool, crash track, rattle-bell track and many other exciting elements!
What 4-year-olds can do with Kullerbü
assemble simple setups yourself
build complex tracks with curves & junctions with support
Test cause-and-effect with the balls
Test experimental tracks with extra elements (like books)
Exploring and experimenting with Kullerbü
You and your kids are now marble-run experts! But the marble-run (building) fun is far from over here! Our head designer of the HABA marble run, Jan Schenkel, describes the tracks in the detailed product video as a completely sustainable toy that is durable, can be passed down forever, and infinitely expandable: "The great thing about our marble runs is that the marble run is the only one on the market with an open system and unlimited expansion possibilities is. You can incorporate other materials, build the track crooked, attach a cardboard tube, or include the furniture from your home; there are no limits!"
So what are you waiting for? Let's go! You can expand or modify the track with anything you find at home. How about a book or stuffed animal tunnel, a book-track extension, or building-block obstacles? Have fun finding parts and experimenting!
Give it a try: books work great integrated into the track – placed as a tunnel or opened up as a track extension!
What happens to the marble when part of the track is replaced by an open picture book?
Exciting: Place books in the path of the balls and watch together as they are deflected and change direction!
The The 'I Can Do It By Myself' Train challenges your little ones to connect the track pieces themselves and to be creative when building the track.
Crafting with Kullerbü
And if your little ones are ever too exhausted to play with the tracks, they don't have to say goodbye to Kullerbü completely. Because HABA also offers your kids Crafting fun with Kugel Paul and friendsalso has to offer. With various templates and a few colored pencils, the DIY fun can get started!
Reading fun with Kullerbü
How do the Kullerkerle actually celebrate Easter, Halloween or Christmas? And what does it look like when Paul goes on an outing? The Kullerbü stories give insights and enrich play with the marble runs.
