LEGO Magnet Maze

Modified: · Published: by · This post may contain affiliate links · 9 Comments

This is a fun twist on our cardboard magnet maze and just as much fun!

LEGO maze

We simply stuck self adhesive magnets to the bottom of a small LEGO space ship and built a track on a large LEGO base plate.

Things to consider when making a LEGO Maze

How wide does the path need to be?

Can the ship get around corners?

Is your magnet strong enough?

We had a great time making this and my 7 year old was thrilled at how fast the ship moved. Our next idea is to build a race track and have some races!

Extension Tasks

Can you made a more difficult maze?

Can you make ramps or tunnels?
