Moon Marble Field Trip Description

A Moon Marble field trip is a hands-on, educational visit to the Moon Marble Company in Bonner Springs, Kansas, combining marble-making demonstrations with interactive games.

What to Expect
Visitors can learn how art marbles are made by hand through a live glass-blowing demonstration. The process includes melting glass with a blowtorch, shaping it into a ball on a small glass stick (punt), spinning it to round it, using graphite molds, adding colored glass dots for patterns, and cooling it in a controlled oven. Guides often explain the details, such as the “mark” left where the marble is removed from the punty, and the high temperatures involved (up to 2000°F during shaping) 

Marble Games & Skills
After the making demonstration, participants learn to play traditional marbles. Older kids are taught the “knuckle down” technique, while younger ones try a “soccer kick” to move marbles into the center. The guide explains scoring, lingo like “fudging” (going over the line) and “histing” (lifting the knuckle), and lets everyone try their hand at shooting.
