Making : Marble Maze, Out of a Shoe Box

28 January 20142 Comments

 

One of the things that I know I have been doing so much less than when we’re still back in Singapore is : crafting!

So, here’s one post on what we made recently : a Marble Maze, made of a Shoe Box lid! =)

It’s easy to make!

I got my littlest assistant, Brie, to do the water-colouring of the inside of the shoe box.

Of course you can always leave it as it is, but I thought it was nicer if it’s in colour and if Brie got to do some painting too =)

 

 

When it’s all dry, this was what I did :

– Made sure all corners are secured with scotch tapes

– Drew the maze lines with a pencil

– Stuck cut-out straws with a strong glue (I used my liquid UHU)

 

 

Once the glue was all dry, the bigger kids tried it out! =)

And hey hey hey, it was fun!

And to think that it’s made of just straws and the lid of a shoe box?

Ah, … felt so nice to make something and recycle *again* ! =D

Have fun crafting and recycling too, everyone!!

 

 

Note:
For bigger kids, make the maze more ‘complicated’, so they can’t get the marble easily from one end to the other.
