Glass Marbles in a Space Treasure Box

The 59 pieces are made up of 7 varieties of marbles, 4 varieties of large shooters and 1 variety of special marbles. Each variety sits in its own compartment, so the collection looks like a small display when you lift the lid and can be tidied back into order after play. The special marbles stand out with a look of their own and appear just once as a variety.

Blue and white recall planets and distant moons, black with glitter brings the night sky to mind, and orange adds an accent like a trail of fire. The twelve flat glass pebbles are iridescent and form a contrast to the round marbles, while the four large shooters at 22 and 25 mm are the biggest pieces in the set. Held up to the light, every piece shows something slightly different. Collectors like to line their marbles up by colour, and this box supplies the whole palette in one go.

The box works for children from 3 years old who enjoy collecting and sorting, and just as well for space fans who like anything to do with planets and rockets. Parents, grandparents and godparents will find a present here for Christmas, a birthday or Easter, and it is the right size as a small gift to bring along. Adult collectors appreciate the range of varieties, and since marbles are a game most grown-ups remember from their own childhood, the box bridges generations easily.

Thanks to the inner double blister, the box can be stood up open without marbles rolling out, on a shelf in a child's room for example. If younger children are playing, it is best to stay nearby and keep an eye on the marbles. When you hand the box over as a present, give it closed: the illustrated lid hints at the theme, and the sorted compartments only come into view once it is opened. If you would like even more variety, combine it with another box from the series.
