Do-It-Yourself Laser Maze
Things You’ll Need:
- Yarn
- Tape
Set-Up:
- Scout out the best area in your home for the maze. Hallways are particularly good locations (the narrow space makes it easy to place string across).
- Tape the yarn to the walls. Criss-cross the yarn from location to location; alternating from high to low to make the maze more challenging.
- When setting up, move from the maze’s ending location to the beginning, so as not to trap yourself in the maze. (Though the kids would have fun watching you go through the maze first!)
- In addition to the walls, use doorknobs, banisters and other permanent or heavy objects to attach the yarn. Don’t use anything that can fall over.
- Optional: put a “treasure” at the end of the maze. Kids can also have fun just trying to navigate through the maze without hitting the “laser” yarn.
- Let your spies-in-training loose on the course!
