I have a feeling that everyone in my family will go MARBLES for Marbles: The Brain Store when it opens TOMORROW (8/11)!
You’ll find good-for-your brain toys, games, books and software for all ages.
At the grand opening, there will be a drawing every hour for fun giveaways!
Here’s a sneak peek inside the store.
Level 2, Crate & Barrel Wing
Every single item at Marbles is tested by a neurologist. If it doesn’t do something for the brain, then it doesn’t make the cut!
The store is divided into categories that coordinate with different regions of the brain. The categories include word skills, memory, critical thinking, visual perception and coordination.
Wall-to-Wall Fun!
Something for all ages
With this you-build-it marble maze set, you connect the interlocking cubes into any shape you want and then watch a marble travel through the course you create. It’s called Q-Ba-Maze ($39.99).

Inside the store, a sign caught my eye. It says, “According to Dr. Stuart Brown, the leading expert on play behavior, when we play we are open to new possibilities, thoughts and insights. Play fuels our brain growth, relieves stress and fosters creativity.”
