Objective

By the end of this lesson, Elisabeth will be able to create her own marble maze using simple materials.

Materials and Prep

  • Cardboard box
  • Marbles
  • Markers
  • Scissors
  • Tape
  • Clear plastic sheet

No special knowledge needed, just creativity and imagination!

Activities

  • Create a maze design on the inside of the cardboard box using markers.
  • Cut out the maze path carefully with scissors.
  • Tape the clear plastic sheet over the top of the maze to keep the marbles from falling out.
  • Add marbles to the maze and tilt the box to navigate the marbles through the maze.

Talking Points

  • Let's draw a fun maze on the box! What twists and turns should we include? Let's use bright colors to make it exciting!
  • Now, let's carefully cut out the maze path. Remember, slow and steady wins the race!
  • We're almost there! Let's secure the plastic sheet over our maze. This will keep our marbles safe inside.
  • Time to test our maze! Tilt the box gently and guide the marbles through the twists and turns. Can you make it to the end?
