Do you want to make a Magnificent Maze? This is a great activity for bilateral coordination, visual motor skills!
Draw the outline of a maze on a firm piece of foam board or cardboard. Make it simple or more difficult, based on what you feel will be a "just right challenge" for the child. Leave enough space in the pathways for the ball to travel through. Lay the straws out on top of the maze lines and cut them to the appropriate length (see photo above). Use colorful duct tape to hold the straws in place. Now instruct the child to navigate the ball through the maze. Have fun!
