Skyrail!

One of the children received a SkyRail marble track for Christmas. These are wonderful toys that are powered by thinking! It was a real popular toy with all the children! Dad helped them learn how to put it together.

Several days later, we were in Target and found several SkyRail tracks on clearance. I wish we could have bought all of them, but we did get two. Now all of the children can build! Here's what is gracing the library right now.

What a great tool to learn physics concepts: cause and effect, speed, friction, inertia, etc. and have a lot of fun at the same time!

  1. I saw your comment at Baker's Dozen and came by to see you. You have some neat homeschool ideas; I'd like to read more later on today. What impressed me about this post was THE BOOKS! Wow your walls are full! I'd just love to browse those!
