Galt Toys Marble Run Review

Who doesn't LOVE Galt Toys? They truly are fab! We've been a fan of Galt Toys for - well since forever pretty much.


My boys got to choose something each from their awesome collection so we could do some reviews for them. Jack chose Marble Run and opted for the 30 piece set. I remember playing with this as a kid, my Hubby still has his! And Jack has played Marble Run at school.

Marble Run is a CLASSIC! 


Galt Toys focus on Educational Toys and at first I thought "is Marble Run really all that educational?" But it is! You need to put some thought into those towers.... build it wrong and your marbles DON'T RUN! Do it right and you have hours of fun making complicated tracks, racing marbles to the bottom, and working out what does and doesn't work.  It's great for problem solving, as well working those creative ideas. Certainly in our house it's one of those toys that encourages cooperation too when Jack and Tom want to play with it together because they always have very different ideas of how to build! Which ideas will work? Can they work both ideas into the same run? Will they need to take turns?

A huge advantage to Marble Run is that it is expandable.... the 30 piece set we have here is a great starter set and includes 6 marbles. We're adding Hubby's set from his youth to make bigger and more complex runs. There are also the Super Marble Run and Mega Marble Run sets which add and extra dimension with roundabouts, pin-wheels, and more (which we will no doubt add to our collection soon with Christmas and Birthdays looming).

So how much are these Marble Run boxes? 

Surprisingly affordable! Our 30 piece set is just £10.99!

Marble Run: £10.99
Super Marble Run: £19.99
Mega Marble Run: £29.99

Where can I buy them?

 Most good toy retailers will stock this classic game, but why not make life easy as visit their website:  www.galttoys.com and see what Christmas Offers they have (like free P&P with the promotional code available on the site, and Christmas Delivery on orders before midday Dec 20th - UK only)



We have been asked to play with and review some games and toys from Galt Toys. We have not been paid to do these reviews, all opinions expressed are our own. We did get to keep the products.

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
