As it turns out, I really enjoy making things for my kids. Especially things that are somewhat educational. Usually what happens is I find a great idea online and copy their "cheap & easy" instructions to make something that is "expensive & hard", not to mention "doesn't even work" or "kids hate it." But this time, magically, I got it right. And I didn't even copy someone else's idea, just thought of it on my own. When we were kids we used to have these marble tracks that I don't remember very well, but they had different paths the marble could go on and holes it could fall into and such. Anyway, that was my inspiration. It was even (sort of) free. I already had that scrap of wood left over from Eliza's play kitchen, we already had the rubberbands, and we had the nails. I only say "sort of free" to save Jerel the effort of commenting that the wood, rubberbands, and nails all did cost money, so it wasn't truly free, it just didn't require any additional purchases. Big bonus: the kids like it!
