Something A-Maze-Ing

Want to have an A-Maze-Ing time?  Make a maze!  Here's an easy maze activity that can be adapted to any size.  If you have a group of kids, find a larger box lid so the kids can work together to maneuver the ball through the maze.  Or use a smaller box for a travel-size game.






Here's what you need:
a box lid with sides, straws, 
glue, scissors 
and a pencil, maybe.


Either use the pencil to draw the maze on
the box lid; or just cut and arrange the
straws to you get an arrangement you like.


Once you have it the way you like it, 
take out one straw at a time and draw
a line of glue in it's place.
Replace the straw to dry.


Once all the straws are in place 
and have dried,
you can tilt the lid to move a
ball or matchbox car
through the maze.


You can have an a-maze-ing time
and talk about the amazing things
that Jesus came to do
while you play!
