Mazes are ancient puzzles that require skill and resourcefulness to solve. They celebrate… ritual, mystery, or play. They can meander for miles or millimeters. Every culture has invented its own.

Explore mazes. Construct a maze that, when painted with a little 'magic', will let a drop of water glide along it's paths. Construct a three dimensional wire maze that will test the steadiness of your hand (battery included.) Construct a castle maze with a minotaur or goblin or imperiled prince or princess perhaps. With castle blocks, mirrors and magnets.

If weather allows, walk a chalk labyrinth, an exercise for exploring your thoughts.
