Kids love thrilling roller coasters…and now they can design their own! Through trial and error, students learn how the track position affects the disk—as it rolls and falls from track to track and into the goal box! Plus, the magnetic tracks stick to any flat magnetic surface, so they’re perfect for use with our Stand-Up Magnetic Design Center (sold separately). You get 5 double-sided challenge cards, 3 disks, a goal box and 10 magnetic tracks. Longest track measures 15".
Item # LL570
Additional Information
Develops skills in understanding speed and momentum, force and motion, angles and trajectories, and size.

A little pricey, but kids love it

Great engineering/science toy. It's simple but the kids love to experiment with it. Seems a little pricey for what it is, but if you can use a coupon or get it on sale it's definitely worth it.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Engaging STEM Fun for Young Builders!
September 05, 2025 - By Preschool Teacherfrom Jackson, WY
This coaster activity kit has been a huge hit! The kids love experimenting with different track combinations and watching the balls roll down. It's an excellent way to introduce early engineering concepts like gravity, cause and effect, and problem-solving.
The pieces are sturdy, easy to attach, and stay in place well, which makes it frustration-free for young learners. I also appreciate the activity cardsthey give kids a starting point but still leave plenty of room for creativity and open-ended play.
It keeps children engaged for long stretches of time, encourages collaboration, and sparks lots of what if we try this? moments. A great choice for both classrooms and home learning!
Yes, I would recommend this product.

I got this for my almost 3 year old and he loves it! We talk about why we need to put the tracks on a slope, compare wheel sizes and speeds, and much more! Lots of STEM learning opportunities. I anticipate we'll be able to play with this toy for years to come.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Great Science Center
July 27, 2025 - By Kimmie
This is such fun for my preschoolers. We make use of it during center time on the Lakeshore magnet board. The pieces are sturdy and the cards are clear to read. Two students work together to see who has the best built path.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Great for mechanical minds
July 20, 2025 - By Jessica Riderfrom Roanoke, VA
My 6 yo loves this Engineer - a -coaster! It reminds him of his beloved marble runs and gears, but is on the fridge. He likes trying out the different sized gears and comments on how they each move differently. He has been playing with the angles and set up to male them run more smoothly. The catcher at the bottom is great to catch the gears, as well as store them when not in use.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

My special ed kiddos love this engineer a coaster activity kit! They love being able to design their own coaster, or copy a design from the cards provided. Kids love watching the little gears roll, fall, and drop. Can keep even the busiest moving body kiddos to stop, focus, and attend to this toy!
Yes, I would recommend this product.
