Cereal Box Marble Run

I give Joel Henriques two swissmiss thumbs up for this simple and beautiful rainy weather kids activity idea: Build a marble run out of a cereal box. What I especially love is that he made sketch first, then started building. See the step by step instructions here.

  1. Absolutely wonderful. It never ceases to amaze me what you can make with a cereal box and a few spare minutes.

    And take note that nobody said this type of creativity was just for children. ;)

  3. I love following his blog, and I don’t even have kids! Goes to show what you can do with some imagination. Amazing.

  7. Awesome idea! My son and daughter will LOVE THAT!

    From the joy of making it, to the joy of playing with it. Runs to fetch boxes, tape etc …

  8. Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems
    with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months
    of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any methods to stop hackers?
