Magnetic Tile Tray Maze
Kids stand magnetic tiles upright on a metal baking sheet to build a maze, then tilt the tray to guide a small ball through it. It's endlessly replayable and combines building with hands-on physics fun.
How to do it
- 1
Place the metal baking sheet flat on a table.
- 2
Stand magnetic tiles upright on the tray to create walls, corridors, and enclosures forming a maze.
- 3
Place a small ball inside the maze and gently tilt the tray in different directions to guide the ball through the paths.
