HABA Kullerbü marble runs for children of all ages
Marble runs delight even the very youngest. With Kullerbü, children as young as 1 year can play with balls and a marble run together with their parents. The large wooden marbles are safe for little mouths and easy for small hands to grasp. The simple plug-in system allows you parents, to build a stable track in no time, allowing your little ones to experiment in ways perfectly suited to their age. For 1-year-olds the ball itself is already fascinating, from 2 years the combination with the track and the acceleration of the ball when rolling down is interesting, from 3 and 4 years the many additional curves and exciting components offer the perfect basis for exciting experiments and imaginative play experiences. Here you can find everything about HABA Kullerbü marble runs and how your little ones can play with the marble run:
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 very youngest from 1 year of age to a real marble-run adventure. The marble run offers learning-fun in every stage of development, whether 1, 2, 3, 4 years or older, and challenges them to experiment, try out new ways, and keep at it, even when it gets tricky. Discover 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 & release again
Let balls roll on the floor & watch
Place 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
Identify 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

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: "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 possibilities for expansion is. You can incorporate other materials, set the track up at an angle, put on a cardboard tube or involve the furniture from the room, there are no limits!"
So what are you waiting for? Let's go! You can expand or modify the track with anything that 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!
Be sure to try it: books can be integrated into the track really well — set up as a tunnel or opened as a track extension!
What happens to the ball 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 I Can Do It Myself Train challenges your little ones to connect the track pieces themselves and to get creative when building the track.
Crafting with Kullerbü
And if your little ones are ever too tired to play on the tracks, they don't have to say goodbye to Kullerbü completely. Because HABA also offers your kids crafting fun with Ball Paul and his friends. 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.
