Marble Mazes!
This week at Camp Splish Splosh we’re talking about “building”. This can be building all sorts of things. Today we built marble mazes!
We used shoe boxes, game tops, and Amazon boxes, straws, and painter’s tape to create our very own marble mazes. This is a great fine motor and problem solving activity. First we had to cut up the straws so we had both big and little obstacles for the marbles. We then were able to work on ripping tape (a skill all children can stand to work on) and taping the straw pieces down (a great multiple step challenge). The trick was to make sure that we were able to build a maze that allowed the marble to move from one side of the box to the other, something that was a perfect challenge for all campers:).
You can also do this with legos or empty toilet paper rolls if you do not have straws.
Have fun and stay safe!
