"Plus, marbles have all the elements of a childhood blockbuster: They’re small, light, portable, cheap, easy to find, lend themselves as well to collecting as they do to playing, and come in a wide, aesthetically pleasing variety. In fact, they remain fun well past childhood. While the most popular types of marbles are colorful globes made of glass, there are marbles made of clay, steel, and wood; there are big and small marbles; there are handmade and mass-produced ones—and the best part is… they come with a whole vocabulary."

Could you explain the meaning of these things: "lend themselves as well to collecting as they do to playing"; "come in a wide"; "they remain fun well past childhood"; "they come with a whole vocabulary"?
