You can find them here:
Maze 1
Maze 2
Maze 3

Planning and Testing:
Try planning your own maze using the maze planner and get someone else to complete it. 
Imagine it in 3D do you need to simplify it or make it harder, Could you add obstacles like bottle tops, cotton reels, cotton balls, or cut holes to add difficulty?
Print the planner here

Now it’s time to bring it to life, to make your maze you will need:

What you need:
  • straws,
  • one marble, or small round object that can roll,
  • any box like a cracker box or a cereal box,
  • scissors,
  • cellotape,
  • glue (hot glue works best)


Here are some examples:

Leonhard Euler, a Swiss mathematician, played around with this idea in the 1700s.
