*In addition to producing colorful and exciting maze systems, Block-N-Roll™ develops manipulative skills, promotes creativity, and strategic thinking.
The blocks below are part of the basic Block-N-Roll™ Building Block System. Observe the use for each part:
90° Turn Block
|
This piece allows you to create exciting curves and turns within your construction. Tunnel the 90 degree turn to keep the marble on track!
|
| Straight Block |
Connect Straights to any Block-N-Roll construction block to keep your marble on the move!
|
| Drop-Thru Block |
The Cross-Over consists of two pieces. To properly secure this piece, attach a dimple block underneath. The Cross-Over allows a marble to switch pathways.
|
Start/Stop Block
|
Use Start/Stop where you want your marble to begin or end. You will never have a runaway marble with this handy piece! |
BNR Block
|
Taurus Toy's own patented BNR Block has a unique dovetail feature that allows you to attach pieces side by side to create vertical maze constructions! |
Ramp Block
|
Use Ramps to create speed...the more Ramps you connect the faster your marble will go. (be sure to tunnel any 90 degree turns at the bottom, to keep your marble from flying off the track.) |
Drop-Thru Block
|
The Drop-Thru can be used over a ramp piece to allow the marble to continue along the maze.
|
» Tunneling or Tubing: All pieces attach to each other to create a tunnel or a tube. To create a tunnel simply turn over an identical piece and snap the two pieces together.
» Speed: If the marble flies out of the raceway it is probably going too fast, especially at 90 degree turns. Create a tunnel at the 90 degree piece, and the marble will stay on track. Use speed and tunnels to create a roller coaster maze.
» Racing: Racing is constructing two or more mazes next to each other and racing the marbles to the end.
» Jumping: Jumping occurs when there is an empty space between two blocks and the marble jumps between them. The faster the marble is going the further it will jump.
» Dropping: Dropping occurs when the marble drops from some height onto another maze. An example is a maze that is set up on a table where the marble drops onto a maze that is set up on the floor.
» Stepping: Stepping is like the stairs in a house. The marble rolls to the end of a straight piece and drops onto another straight piece, and so on.
