Need a Fun Kid’s Project? Make a Maze!

What you’ll need:

  • Box
  • Straws
  • Scissors
  • Tape
  • Small ball or marble

Steps:

1. Cut your straws into different lengths.

2. Lay out the straws and design the maze. Tape the straws into the box.

3. Write out start and finish spots. Put the ball in the box and tilt the box so the ball moves from start to finish.

BONUS! For an extra challenge, add numbers throughout the maze. Try to hit each number on your way to the finish line!
