DIY marble tracks
For those of you who played with marble tracks or marble runs as a kid, these DIY building kits will let you rebuild the joys of watching small metal balls make their way from one point to another, passing through fun little obstacles along the way.
Cute little marble track to build and run on your desk or countertop. It took me over the course of 3 evenings to complete, and it was just as fun to build as it was to watch run.
ROBOTIME Marble Spaceport
This set accompanies the Marble Spaceport, taking roughly the same amount of time to build, and is roughly the same size. You can also buy a connector to link this track with the Spaceport, which I have yet to do myself. Still, highly recommended bui...
ROKR Marble Night City
Here is a marble track building set with a twist - this track is a game where you must guide the marbles through a series of obstacles along its path. There is a set of knobs and buttons that you use to maneuver the marble, similar to that of the Scr...
ROKR Gear Ball Challenge
Yep, a marble track based on London, featuring various landmarks such as Big Ben and the eye of London as the main marble lift. There is also a cable car that transports marbles from one side of the track to the other, and the entire thing is complet...
ROKR Marble Travel London
This marble track is made from plastic instead of wood, and is assembled within a 7x10" frame. This kit is a diorama of an urban setting, with multiple layers of streets and railways to transport the marbles. This kit also contains a series of LED li...
ROKR The Last City
This set acompanies The Last City, and you can connect the frames directly together to make one continuous marble track through the two. In this particular set, the theme seems to be that of a futuristic sci-fy/cuberpunk urban scene. If that's your t...
ROKR Future City
This set is the third installment of the “city” themed marble runs by ROKR. This time, the theme is an old school musical city, decorated with 90s themed aesthetics, and also features a mode where the LED lights will sync to any nearby audio source. ...
ROKR Hip Hop Street
The 4th and final installment in the city series, the Alchamy City, which as the name suggests, is “evil science lab” themed. This kit further contributes to the whole sci-fi appeal that this series has, and if you get all 4 of them, you can build th...

DIY gadgets
If building small machines or contraptions made from tiny moving pieces is more your style, or you're seeking more of a building challenge, then these kits are definitely for you.
This one's for both cinema nerds and DIY enthusiasts alike, it's a small wooden projector that you build and run on your desk or countertop, and it plays an included film strip from Charlie Chaplian's Modern Times. The only issue I have with this set...
ROKR Vintage Vitascope Projector
It's a cute little wooden locked box that you can keep small valuables in on your desktop or shelf. You get to assign it a special 3 digit code (naturally I chose my birthday for mine) and you open the inside with 2 wooden keys. The build itself is q...
ROKR Wooden Puzzle Mechanical Treasure Box
Although this one is a bit more on the pricey side, it's totally worth it. This is a fully working wooden pinball machine that you can build and use, and it accurately tracks your score. It's kept me entertained for hours on end.
ROKR Pinball Machine
A fun and cozy little holiday gift factory that plays music, lights up, and includes a variety of moving pieces and belts. This is a perfect and fun little gift for someone special, and it makes a great centerpiece during the holiday season.
ROKR Christmas Dream Gift Factory
A fully functional cuckoo clock that actually has a little bird come out and “cuckoo” at the start of every hour. I had a lot of fun building this and keeping it in my room on the shelf.
ROKR Cuckoo Clock
This is a fun little custom stamp gadget that you can keep and use on your desktop. Great for arts and crafts fun and novelty.

This wooden DIY clock not only tells the time of day but also the 12 constellations of the year for those of you who are into the whole zodiac sign thing…
