Travel Maze Tutorial

 





I found my maze on a google image search, or you can get creative and think of your own design.  The only important factor is that your path is wide enough for your bead or marble to push around.

 
I choose a crazy checkered fabric in hopes to make it more complicated for my 4 year old. 


 Don't forget to add your bead before you close the gap up, or you'll end up with a weird hanky.

 

 
 This takes a little patience, but it will all be worth it!

 
Now you have a start and a finish!
 
When your kiddo gets good at getting the bead from the start to the end and the end to start, then you can create variations.  I like to steal the maze, put the bead in a weird secluded part of the maze, and then ask Clare to get it to one of the buttons. 
 
It's a super simple sew, that can give lots of car time/waiting room entertainment.
