How to do it

  1. 1

    Roll playdough into the digits of the current year.

  2. 2

    Push the digits together and trim small tunnels where they meet so a pom-pom can pass through.

  3. 3

    Hand the kid a straw and have them blow a pom-pom through the maze.

Tips & extensions

Talk about the new year while they work. Make tunnels generous enough for the pom-pom to clear.
