Cut paper towel tubes in half lengthwise to create tracks for marbles. Place them in the block center and encourage the children to construct the tracks using the tubes and masking tape. They will need to determine the correct lengths to run marbles successfully through the tracks. This is a great way for the children to learn through trial and error.
