Are these perfectly round? Would they work for a toy that needed marbles to roll? thanks!

Yes, they are round, not the flattened kind used for decorating. They would definitely roll.

Are different colors available? I need uniform colors in quantity for a demonstration, but I also need different colors to present the contrast. There is too much variety in mixed marble packages for my purpose.

They are round and I believe the would work for a toy needing them to roll. Hope this helps.

I haven't seen the ones at Target, I'm not sure. My daughter loves these though. They are regular puzzle pieces, so they can be bent. My daughter is pretty young though, so the bending happens quite often. :)

We use cardboard jewelry box tops (or bottoms) fit under the bottom holes where the marbles come out. Let the kids figure it out!

I have not tried to use them in playdough. The playdough would have to be rolled fairly thin, also it would depend on who is using the stamps: the handles are not solid and if someone were to push too hard on it, the handle might crack.

I would say yes. They're a decent size, but not too big. I think they would be a perfect size for legos.

The sliders I ordered were round, not heart shaped. They were a much better quality than the plastic ones you can get at a craft store that also cost much more.

The balls on mine appear to be chromed steel. I doubt that plastic balls would have enough inertia to make it make it work. As with nearly all Newton's cradles. the strings do get tangled quite easily so if you are not using the cradle, it is best to tie everything down to the base to prevent tangling during storage. My grandkids love to play with it but I do spend a little time untangling when the smaller ones use it. It is a fun and educational item for all.

Hi there, mine were actually round. I ordered the 16" and the 10" and they were both round.

I was planning on doing just that, but didn't end up buying a second set. If you look at the different sets, you'll see that they contain some of the same pieces. Fyi - I work at a school, and the kids loved playing with the set! Lots of opportunity for kids to analyze why a marble won't go through and then solve the problem. Fun family activity too!

These are not really round, but more of an oval or egg shaped with a grip lip on the back side and a pour spout on the front ranging in size approximately 5 1/4, 6 1/4, 7 1/2, 8 1/2. They stack very nicely and would do for your granddaughter to play with. They are very light in weight and with the easy grip lip she could easily handle. If she is small enough to just pick it up and bang in down these would work wonderfully. The interior has a slick surface so they are easily washed and when used with wooden spoon would be a good toy - not as loud as the clang of a alum. pan.

Since they are a spiral shape, they roll across the floor fast and make kind of a "wagging tail" effect. There are not any moving parts in them. They look funny in the package, but they are a bunch of individual spirals, not all tangled together like that. The plastic ones are best, so make sure you get the right ones if you order them.

No, the kibbles are not round as like a bb or marble. The kibbles are kind of flat and slightly egg shaped. Hope this helps. Jeff

Hi, Sorry we're temp out of stock - so can't physically check but would say they're more round than flat. Hope this helps BuzzBase

Yes they fit in the circle with the ball which goes around. I guess you could leave it on the floor but it would be shredded all over the place.

I imagine these could work quite well for kids toys as long as you don't put anything heavy in them. The range of sizes is good. The largest is surprisingly large, the smallest is rather small, so I bet between the four it would fit the items you described. They nest when collapsed and take up little space when not in use. I quite like these but have never used them for toys. I'm currently using a couple for my crochet yarn stash.

They are round! But wouldn't recommend them. I bought these in January and 4 months later I only have 3 left. They crack real easily

I wouldn't use the round ones--maybe 1" in a square. The round ones are a tight fit--and I also don't recommend this product because the adhesive doesn't hold and the thing keep coming off. They are overpriced for what you get, although they do slide smoothly.
