Every once in a while, I stumble upon the coolest idea ever. In this case it came from Journey Into Unschooling, which is bursting with ideas for kids, mostly all hands on, which is exactly how Henry likes it.
We started by drawing a grid onto a piece of scrap wood. Next we pounded in some nails, Henry had to help me straighten quite a few of the ones that I put in.
FINALLY, the fun part begins. Stretching rubber bands this way and that way to make a maze...for marbles! How fun!
Henry literally played with this yesterday (by changing the rubber bands to make new mazes) off and on for...wait for it...5 hours. I'm not kidding! And, he even thanked me for such an "awesome project" (his words!) It was a good day. : )
Here are a few videos of Henry's mazes:
