STEM Craft: Paper Plate Marble Mazes

STEM Craft: Paper Plate Marble Mazes
may 30TH, 2023
Girls doing crafts on a lawn
At Hopscotch Girls, we love STEM activities for so many reasons. They encourage critical thinking and creativity while building confidence. As an added bonus, they give girls a chance to develop an interest science, technology, engineering, and math at a young age. This craft is the perfect way to have fun and practice valuable life skills at the same time!

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • White paper
  • Pencil
  • Paper plate (the stronger the better, or hot glue two plates together)
  • Straws
  • Hot glue
  • Marble

How To Make Your Paper Plate Marble Mazes:

Step 1: Use a pencil and paper to design your maze. We drew a circle and created paths inside the circle.
Step 2: Use your plan to lightly draw your path on the plate with a pencil. 
Step 3: Measure and cut the straws to fit your path. Make sure your marble can fit through your path!
Step 4: Use the hot glue to glue the straws to the path on the plate.
Step 5: After the glue dries, place the marble on the path. Tilt and move the plate to move the marble through the path. 
Step 6: Friends can race to see who can get their marble through their path first.
Repeat this process to create a fun collection of mazes, or try timing your child to see if she can beat her record each time!
