We have a stash of Christmas LEGO® that we excitedly bring out to play around this time of year. I love the cute little reindeer, elves, snowmen, and, of course, Santa. When the Christmas LEGO® comes out, we know Christmas is close!
My 8 year old made an amazing Christmas themed LEGO maze similar to our more traditional LEGO® maze using our Christmas Characters as props.
Easy Christmas LEGO® Maze
LEGO® MAZE - Points to Consider
- How wide does the path need to be?
- What obstacles will you use?
- Is there space for a ramp?
- Can you make a double layer maze?
LEGO® MAZE - Extension Tasks
- Is the maze easier with a smaller or bigger marble?
- Can you draw a plan and then build your maze to match your plan? What changes need to be made to your design as you build?
- Can you make a magnetic LEGO® maze.
- Can you create and draw instructions a friend can follow?
This is a great activity for practicing planning and design skills, as well as improving fine motor control.
