Cardboard Marble Maze
This post may contain affiliate links.
Here is a low tech visual perceptual marble maze made out of a cardboard box and some straws. This one is fairly simple, but it can be useful for those who have trouble with motor coordination as well as visual perception.
I used a cardboard box and some large “Smoothie Straws
It is not a difficult maze to get through, but works on visual tracking and visual motor coordination, which is difficult for some kids.
Materials:
- Cardboard box
- Straws
- Hot glue
Skills:
- Visual perception
- Visual tracking
- Visual motor control
- motor planning
Love this! You could also use that with a set of magnets. Put one underneath and one on top in the maze. Have the child use the one underneath to make the one in the maze move around. A little bit more challenging with motor planning.
Yes. I saw some magnet ones at a course I was at this month. I’m planning a post about those at some time.
