This is a fabulous idea to make your very own drinking straw maze toy craft. Use straws to create a maze in a box lid and roll a marble through the maze. You can make small or big mazes. Hours of fun.Materials:
- box lid
- drinking straws
- construction paper(optional)
- scissors
- pencil
- glue
- marble
Directions:
- Draw a simple maze design in pencil on the inside of your box lid. If desired, you can cut and paste a piece of construction paper into your lid beforehand to give your maze a color background, but this step is optional.
- Cut straws to match each line in your maze.
- Pipe glue on the lines and put on the straws. Allow to dry.
- Use a marble and roll through the maze.

Love this project....as an OT student, I was going to use a marble and found that most preschools do not allow due to a choking hazard...wonder if this would be safer with a gumball for older kids?
