Tunnel Set

The Stacking Tunnels are a fun, dynamic set of accessories that can be used as either tunnels, or ramps! These Stacking Tunnels clip together so you can stack them high, building varying levels of slopes.

Using Stacking Tunnels with ramps, children roll down a variety of materials—from wooden balls and eggs to toy cars and even water—encouraging experimentation with material properties and the principles of cause and effect. What happens when a ball is placed at the top of an inclined tunnel? How does the speed change if the tunnel is set at a different angle? Through play, children naturally explore these scientific concepts while refining their understanding of elevation, incline, and connection.

Designed for versatile integration, the Stacking Tunnels pair seamlessly with Rubber Ramps, Building Blocks, and construction sets, expanding the possibilities for creative play. Children can investigate how tunnels connect to form systems, asking essential questions like, What height do we need for our system? and What other positions can the Stacking Tunnels be used? By experimenting with different arrangements, they build foundational skills in systems and connections, gaining insight into how pieces work together to create functional designs.

Encourage children to think critically about their constructions by exploring positional phrases: What materials can go under the tunnels? What can travel over them? These simple yet thought-provoking prompts invite young learners to analyze spatial relationships and engineering principles in a playful and interactive way.

Whether used indoors or outdoors, in structured activities or free play, the Stacking Tunnels support children in discovering new ways to build, test, and innovate. With limitless possibilities, they transform any play space into a hands-on laboratory for creativity, collaboration, and STEM learning.
