Editor's note:
Hape Quadrilla marble runs are the top recommended toys by The Wall Street Journal in 2016, and they are also called "Wooden Toys that Teach Kids to Code". I personally really like them, because they are very good tools to get kids start exposing to project-based thinking without sitting in a classroom.
What is more? The Quadrilla marble run system can be extended indefinitely with additional sets and add-ons. Each sold separately in the link below:

Quadrilla is derived from the combination of two German words, "Quader" and "Rille", meaning "bricks" and "slots" respectively, which are also the main components of the game. The core of Quadrilla is an unique wooden marble run construction system. Drop marbles on where you would like them to start, and watch them run through various mechanisms all the way to the end inside the whole 3 dimensional mazes set up by you. The whole construction process is a lot like coding given that each of the seven different colour blocks offers different function, and kids would need to do "trails and errors" in order to create their desired structures.
Quadrilla is a perfect platform for STEAM education, a word short for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics. Suitable to be played by kids of 3 year and up. The whole construction process is like a project in a real world, and it can provide kids with Project-Based Learning experience directly, teaching them how to complete a whole, complete and meaningful structure from just scattered parts.
As a result,
Quadrila can provide endless creative building possibilities and encourages spatial thinking and problem solving, and hence won many international awards such as SPIEL GUT Exellent Toy Award in Germany and OPPENHEIM Toy Protfolio Platinum Award in US. Quadrilla is also assessed and recommended by Wall Street Journal to be an early coding teaching toy.
