Heart shaped marble maze

by Fellowship Agency June 7, 2018

Use the equipment listed to make a heart-shaped marble maze in the bottom of a Shallow (F1) Gratnells tray.

Washi tape in different colours
Scissors
Thick multicoloured art straws
Shallow (F1) Gratnells tray or a Gratnells A3 or Art Tray if you’d like a bigger maze
Marbles
Printed ‘start’ and ‘finish’ labels
Blue or white sticky tac
Stopwatch (optional)
Paper and pencils if you want to plan your maze in advance

Plan out the size/shape of your maze, and how you intend for the marble to travel from the start to the finish
Make a maze from the art straws and washi tape and secure it to the bottom of your tray
Secure your ‘start’ and ‘finish’ labels at the start and finish respectively using sticky tape
Place your marble at the start then lift and tilt the tray to guide your marble through the maze to the finish
Add another element to the challenge and see who in the class can complete each maze the fasted using a stopwatch. Record the results and crown the marble maze champion!

As with all Gratnells What’s In My Tray activities, you should carry out your own risk assessment prior to undertaking any activities with children.
