Making : Marble Maze, Out of a Shoe Box
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.
