Fabric Marble Maze - Tie Dye
29cm x 23cm
Our Marble Mazes will keep hands very busy! The aim is to move the enclosed marble from the start of the maze to the end, using your fingers to manipulate the marble throughout. Fantastic for fine motor and co-ordination skills, there are 4 different maze patterns to choose from .The mazes are made with patterned fabric, using a contrasting colour path to help those who need a visual cue as to which direction for the next turn in the maze. As these marble mazes make no noise, they are great as a fidget toy and work quite well in environments such as school, church, on an airplane or in a waiting room.
Marble mazes have been used in many mainstream school settings and attached under the desk or used in group floor time so the child can self-regulate while they pay attention to the teacher speaking, and not disrupt the class in the meantime. To make it a little more challenging, the maze can be done in front of a mirror so the child has to look at the reflection of the maze while completing it, you can immerse it underwater while pushing it through, as well as wet the marble maze, then squeeze out the excess water and try to manipulate it through with the material wet for extra resistance.
