Marbles are small spherical objects that have been enjoyed by children and adults for centuries. Typically made of glass, they can also be made of metal, stone, wood, or clay. The game of marbles traditionally involves players using their thumbs and forefingers to shoot marbles towards an opponent’s marble to knock them out of a circle, though there are many different games that can be played.
Marbles have a long history. There is evidence of marbles being played as early as ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. Marbles have been used as a form of currency, been used to fill cavities in teeth, used as a tool for divination, in art, as weapons and have been used in science experiments to study motion and gravity and the behaviour of fluids. In the 1800s, German glassblowers began making colourful glass marbles like the ones today, which became popular around the world. 
Marbles come in various colours, patterns and sizes and have a great variety of names including catseye, red devils, bumblebee, tiger and grandfather. The largest marble in the world weighs over 1300kg and is on display in Norway.
Marbles have a rich history and continue to be enjoyed by people around the world. They are not only fun to play with and pretty to look at, they also have practical applications in science and industry.
