Glass Marbles in a Pirate Treasure Box

Some marbles are clear red, others patterned in black and red, and there are marbled pieces as well as ones with a gold sheen. The flat glass pebbles are golden and set off the darker spheres. Every piece lies sorted by variety in neat rows, so you can see at a glance what the set contains.

An inner double blister holds the marbles in place, so you can stand the box open without anything rolling out. The set works as a toy and as a small collection to keep.

It suits children aged 3 and up with a soft spot for pirates, and equally older collectors who like sorting marbles by colour and pattern. Parents, grandparents and godparents get a gift that carries on after the unwrapping, because every marble has its own place in the box.

As an occasion, think of Christmas and birthdays, a pirate party, or something to bring along when you do not want to arrive empty-handed.

Put the marbles back into their rows by variety after playing, so the box stays tidy and sorting becomes part of the fun. Play on a smooth floor or on a table with a rim so the marbles do not roll under the furniture.

If you are giving the set as a present, stand the box open: the striped lid with its skull looks best when the sorted rows are visible beside it. The set is recommended for ages 3 and up, so it is not meant for younger siblings.
