Let's build a fun marble maze with building blocks!

hey guys check out this cool marble maze

i found it has lots of fun play features

like a spinning wheel a musical

xylophone and even some cute animals we

can meet like this giraffe an elephant

and an alligator

and it has lots of pieces so i can

really use your help putting it together

what do you say yeah

awesome that's what i like to hear so

let's open it up so we can get started

i put together building blocks before

and marble mazes but never a building

block marble maze this should be fun

wow this is just one bag there's more

inside

hey it's a xylophone nice

let's see what other stuff we can find

oh here's another bag and this one looks

like it's got a lot of gears

and i think this is a stand and there's

even more stuff let's dump them out to

save some time

wow that's a lot of pieces i'm

definitely going to need your help for

this

let's start with the instructions this

is the one we're gonna make so let's

take a look inside

it looks like we'll need the green base

the stand and the wheel to get started

i'm really excited this is gonna be fun

here's our first green base that we're

gonna set here and place the stand right

on top of it it's really important that

we place the pieces in the right places

and here's our big wheel piece it can

spin around like this

we'll be able to use it to keep the

marbles going on the track

[Music]

next we need to make a column so we can

add some gears that'll let us spin the

wheel

it's almost like a pattern big piece

small piece big piece small piece big

piece

now for this long blue rectangle it'll

hold the column straight

then the two attachments for our gears

one

and two

and here's our two gears

let's go ahead and put the purple one on

the bottom

and then we can add the red one to the

top making sure the gears line up

[Music]

finally we'll need our handle for the

gears it needs to go on the bottom one

alright now watch

isn't that cool spinning the gear spins

the wheel because they're attached next

we need to add some pieces behind the

wheel to give some support to where the

marbles are going to come out this piece

needs to stick out like this with a tiny

green piece next to it

and then we can cover those with another

orange rectangle

it kind of looks like it's sticking its

tongue out at us

next up are these two column pieces that

are going to support the top pieces of

the trap

now let's make those even taller by

building on top of them

awesome now for our first piece of the

actual track a blue slide and then an

orange funnel to catch the marbles when

we drop them in

and another one over here to make sure

they're good and dizzy if they go this

way

and a flower because why not

all right now we can add some more of

the track going this way

one more little straight piece and then

we'll add the corner to turn the marbles

right here

and check out the seesaw piece it'll

send the marbles back and forth and we

won't know which way they're gonna go

down at the green base again we're gonna

build another column to connect to the

second orange funnel

one last piece here then let's see if we

can squeeze in the blue slide

[Music]

there we go that was kind of a close fit

now for a corner piece that'll send the

marbles to our right you didn't think we

were just gonna use one base piece did

you let's go ahead and attach the second

one now

this track is gonna be really big and

lots of fun when we're done with it

this column here is gonna reach up and

connect with the track that we already

started building and that'll allow us to

make the track even longer

check it out these marvel's gonna go

down this little slide here and this

long straight away but we're not

stopping there we're gonna add this

alligator to it to make it just a bit

more dangerous watch your fingers

[Music]

now back around to the other side of the

marble maze we'll start setting up for

our second track to go this way this

green seesaw piece looks like a fun way

to go we can add it to the top of the

column we just made an orange brick is

gonna go here because here comes our

giraffe

there's a path through its neck and

along its back to let the marble slide

down and this cute little animal will go

right here

and then we can add some more pieces to

keep this our second track going then we

need to get set up for adding track to

the front of the marble maze

[Music]

well that was easy

all right now we can bring the track

around starting with the pieces behind

the giraffe this big red slide looks fun

and it's going to send the marbles

through this blue curve

and then we'll add another flower to

spruce things up a bit then we can add a

yellow slide going this way and now we

can use some straightaway pieces and

curved pieces to get our track going all

the way to the front and this crossroad

piece will let the marbles go any which

way they want we can put one more curve

and now our maze is split into two more

tracks and with the help of another

crossroad piece we can get them to join

back together here and two more

straightaway pieces will help bring them

towards the wheel and now we'll get back

to work on the track with the alligator

to do that we'll need two curves

together so we'll use this green piece

like a piece of tape and then we can

stick on this orange curve and now our

curve looks like an s and it can go on

top of the column it kind of looks like

part of a roller coaster

we still have one more animal to add to

our track so let's see if we can give it

a good place to go these two pieces here

will be kind of like a pedestal for our

elephant

and this trunk can go up and down to let

our marbles slide down there you go mr

elephant

and now we can use the post and attach a

green curve to bring the track around

and to that we can add our xylophone

i can't wait to hear our marbles go down

it

i'll attach this side to the post we

just put and the right side to this

piece over here

now let's have this yellow sloping curve

another crossroad

a straightaway to the wheel and a red

piece to catch the marbles that come

this way and now it's time to set up for

the final piece of our marble maze first

we'll need five squares with pegs on

them

and that's five and then three of them

need small gears

[Music]

and the other two will get big ones a

purple one

and a red one

then we'll add a small gear on top of

the red one and an orange handle on top

of the purple one and finally let's add

a flag that the gears can turn and one

more flower

wow guys we did it we finished building

the marble maze and now we get to play

with it let's start by adding a yellow

and blue marble to our marble maze to

see what happens

oh it's on the orange seesaw i wonder

which way it'll go looks like it's

taking the lower trap the one with the

giraffe

and it makes it all the way to the end

that was cool but now it's time to try

all eight of our marbles at once let's

add them slowly so they don't spill over

the trap

four

five

six

seven

eight good luck marbles now we can start

spitting them through the wheel to keep

them going

nice it's working

look at these two guys go

whoop there you go and the other one i

love how the marbles are taking

different paths

some are at the top and some are at the

bottom

and here they come across the xylophone

[Music]

wow our marbles are really moving i hope

the alligator doesn't get them

let's do a trick shot

booyah

nice

here's the slow-mo

it looks like we need to get the wheel

going again to get the marbles back to

the top but we have to be patient

turning it so that they make it into the

holes

there like that

wow these marbles are really going it

looks like they're having a lot of fun

too

uh oh it's alligator time

and it looks like our final marbles are

coming through the marble maze let's

spin the flag great job marble you did

terrific

and so did you guys at home thanks for

helping us build it and play with it bye

everyone
