Magnetic Maze

To create a magnetic maze you will need:

- a plastic board (31.5 x 24 cm)

- a drawing marker

- adhesive foam rubber mosaics

- stickers

- 2 caps

- 2 magnets

- acrylic paint and a brush

- a pom-pom

- strong white glue

Place a sticker at the top right of the board and another sticker at the bottom left of the board to mark the beginning and end of the maze.

With a non-permanent marker, trace the path of the maze.

You need to create pathways that are wide enough (about 4 cm) so that the cap can move easily within the maze.

If you make a mistake, erase the marker lines with a damp cloth.

We will now cover the outline with flexible rubber adhesive mosaic tiles.

Place the mosaics side by side, following the black outline to create the "walls" of the maze.

Paint a cork with acrylic paint and then let it dry for about 20 minutes.

Once the paint is dry, decorate the cap with markers, Crazy Eyes stickers, ...

For an even funnier side, attach a large pom-pom with white glue on top of the cap to give the character some hair.

Glue a magnet underneath the character by generously applying strong white glue.

For optimal adhesion, allow to dry for 24 hours.

Glue another magnet onto an undecorated cork stopper.

Be sure to check the polarity of the magnets before gluing (the magnet under the character and the one above must attract each other, not repel).

Place the character at the start of the course, the undecorated magnetic cap underneath the board, and move the character through the maze.

The character moves thanks to the magnetic force of the magnets!
