Marbles Make Great Planets<\/h2>\n

These are not marbles, they are planets.  Each marble represents a planet (yes, we included Pluto) and will be given to older children at our space reunion as they complete planet oriented challenges and activities.<\/p>\n

At one time, you could purchase marbles that represented each planet but I could only find Earth marbles and Jupiter marbles. For the other planets, I had to search for marbles that in some way highlighted a distinguishing feature of each  planet. I choose red Rooster marbles to represent the \u201cred  planet\u201d Mars and because Neptune is the coldest planet due to its proximity to the sun, I choose Ice Queen marbles.  <\/p>\n

I purchased my marbles from a local toy store and paid $3.25 a bag (24 marbles and 1 shooter).  When I searched online, I found marbles for $3.50 a bag plus shipping.<\/p>\n

Shooter marbles are the large ones used for \u201cshooting\u2019’ when  playing marbles.  There is one in  each bag, so I\u2019m currently looking for a good resource and price for 1 inch  shooters.  I\u2019ll let you know  when I find them. <\/p>\n

I loved playing marbles as a kid and so we plan to teach and play marbles with our kids at the end of our planet fun.  <\/p>\n

Marble planets are going to be great for the older children at your family reunion but for the toddlers you might want to consider these Universe Stress balls.  They\u2019re $9.99 at Oriental Trading for all 9 balls.<\/p>\n
