SET-UP
STEP 1
STEP 4 STEP 5
Construct the water dumper.
Inflate the mat –
be careful not to
over-inflate so
that the bottom
stays flat.
Snap together
the water wheel
pieces.
Make sure the spinners are
facing the correct direction
for maximum spin.
Connect
tall bases.
Look for arrows ( , ) throughout the instructions
to know which end is the closed end of the building piece.
Begin constructing the left side
of your Aqua Maze using the
whirlpool vortex, marble
catcher, a tall base,
curved track, 2 straight
tracks and 7 tubes.
Connect the left and right
sides of the build using a
spinner slide. Add a water
wheel, funnel, and 3 tubes.
Use a tall base,
curved track,
spinner slide,
and 21 tubes
to add on to
the remaining
arm of the
triple chute.
SET-UP
STEP 1
Put together specific pieces.
Connect 3 tubes under each arm
of the triple chute and 2 tubes and
a marble catcher in the middle.
Construct a double tower off one arm
of the triple chute using a curved
track, straight track, funnel,
and 15 tubes. Add on a
second arm of the
triple chute with the
water dumper
and 5 tubes.

Complete the right tower.
Funnel
Spout
Water Wheel
Be sure to twist
and adjust the
build so the spout
sends water or
marbles to the
water dumper
which dumps in
to the whirlpool
vortex.
PARENT
POINTERS
How many drops of water or
how many marbles does it
take to fill the water dumper
and make it tip?
Use the dropper to squirt
water directly on spinners —
does this make them go
faster or slower than using
the scoop?
Compare how fast the
marbles go with and without
water? The water will slow
down the marbles due
to friction.
Use the remaining 2 tubes,
spout, water wheel and
funnel to complete your
Aqua Maze.
Help your child discover
the magic of physics by
experimenting with
different parts of
the AQUA MAZE.
