Cut used paper towel rolls in half lengthwise.
In pairs, about 1.5' apart, hot glue a series of varying-height dowels with the beginning higher than the end, in a 'roller-coaster' pattern along a 1x4 length of wood.
Hot glue the halved tubes to the dowel tops.
Start the marbles at the highest point and let them roll!
