How to do it

  1. 1

    Cut a piece of cardboard for the base of the maze.

  2. 2

    Cut cardboard strips about two inches wide and hot-glue them to the base in a maze layout.

  3. 3

    Paint the maze with red and white stripes, and add white stars on a small blue corner.

  4. 4

    Place a pom-pom at the start, then guide it through the maze to the finish.

Tips & extensions

Sketch the maze layout in pencil before gluing so the path stays fun without dead ends.
