## Description

Super sweet stunts! Build your own gumball machines and learn physics lessons in the process. A turn of a handle dispenses one gumball at a time out of the clear storage globe and down the track. The gumballs land in a collection cup and can easily and sanitarily be returned to the globe for another run. The track segments can be moved around on the base to create an almost limitless number of different gumball machines. As the gumballs roll down the track, they perform cool stunts and tricks. Stunts include a pulley lift, pendulum, funnel, trampoline, variable-slope ramp, pinball launcher, and domino slide. Each segment of the track teaches a different lesson in mechanical physics, allowing users to explore topics including simple machines, force, motion, momentum, gravity, Newton's laws, energy transfer, and more. Trial-and-error experiments teach in a fun, hands-on way: will your gumball successfully make it to the end of the track, or will you have to re-engineer your gumball machine to make it work? The kit works with standard machine-size, 16-mm (5/8-inch) gumballs and includes a small supply of gumballs to get started.

Review: Not suitable for kids - Not worth the price, reasons follow: 1- it has edible gum-balls which are soft and gets stuck in the machine. 2- gum-balls leave color on kids hands 3- assembly is not easy instructions are not clear 4- build quality of the machine is good but major elements i.e gum-balls are edible and soft.
Review: Not great at all - It’s like a marble run gone horribly wrong ! Real low quality runners and plastic

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to buy refills. what size gumballs should I buy? The small ones- dime size? or the large ones about size of a quater?**
A: Thank you for your question! The gumballs that fit in the Gumball Machine Maker are about 5/8" (0.6"), so slightly smaller than a dime.

**Q: Can you use marbles?**
A: I use it with our marbles and marble run.  Beware, however, some tricks just don't work well with the weight of the marbles.  Luckily, my son loves it when the marbles fly off the track anyway.

**Q: Do you have a link to purchase refill gumballs?**
A: I bought the dubble bubble 20oz gumball machine refill

**Q: How tall is the completed gumball machine?**
A: The built Gumball Machine stands at 17 inches tall.
