Making a cardboard maze: Tips and Tricks
Materials required for making a cardboard maze
Making a cardboard maze is a fun project that you can do with your kids. And the best part is, you only need a few items to create it. All you need is a cardboard box, a utility knife, masking tape, and a ruler. Once you have these materials on hand, you are ready to create your own cardboard maze.
Preparing the cardboard box
The first step in making a cardboard maze is to prepare your cardboard box. Cut off the flaps of the box and turn it upside down so the bottom of the box is facing up. Use a ruler to mark out the walls of the maze on the bottom of the box. This will help you determine the path of the maze.
Cutting the walls of the maze
Once you have marked out the walls of the maze, use a utility knife to cut along the lines. Be careful while cutting the walls to make sure you do not cut through the box. Once you have cut along all the lines, remove the excess cardboard to get your maze walls.
Assembling the maze
Now that you have your maze walls, assemble them by taping them to the floor of the box. Make sure you use a strong tape like masking tape to hold the walls in place. Once all the walls are in place, double-check to ensure that the walls are sturdy and won’t fall apart easily.
Adding details
Add some finishing touches to your cardboard maze by painting it or sticking some decorations on the walls. You can also add some challenges or obstacles to the maze by including dead ends, loops, or ramps. Once you have added all your desired details, your cardboard maze is ready to play.
