Description

Create an interactive maze game with some materials around the house!

Materials

• Paper

• Pencil/Markers/Crayons
• Magnet
• Paperclip
• Hot glue gun
• Scissors
• Popsicle stick

Project Steps

Step 1

On your blank paper sketch out an idea for your maze.

Step 2

Using markers or pens, outline your maze, and get a little creative with your design!

Step 3

Glue your maze to the cardboard using a glue stick. If you don’t have any cardboard handy, you can use construction paper or cardstock. Anything to make your maze a little more rigid!

Step 4

Next, we’ll create the magnetic wand.
Attach a magnet to a popsicle stick using a hot glue gun.

Step 5

Next, we’ll create the maze runner.

On a piece of paper sketch an object or character that will go through your maze.
Cut your object out.

Step 6

Using the hot glue gun again, attach a paperclip to the back of your object.

Step 7

Play your game!
Use the wand on the backside of your maze to navigate the object through to the end.
