This week I dove into Pinterest full on. I love the ideas that are out there and for creative bloggers it’s this fine balance between getting inspired and feeling like everyone else has all the best ideas. After brushing myself off, telling myself not to act like my children I dove back in and fell in love. All of this is to explain that I got this idea from a pin – after seeing these great labyrinths from bloesem kids I thought how can I make it so it encourages writing but is low on the frustration meter. This is what we did.

1. Gather your materials. You will need a CD case, some plain paper, markers, scissors and dry erase markers.
2. Start by taking the liner out of the cd case and tracing it to make your own liners – we made 4 by folding and layering the paper before cutting.
3. Next make the mazes. Ok so you could totally print some off the internet too and I encourage you to do this because man making mazes isn’t super easy, but maybe I am just maze challenged.
4. Pop them all in a stack and into your case facing the back . Now your child can do a few at a time or all in one sitting.
5. Add your kid and dry erase – mistakes are no biggie and look , writing practice!
6. If you make a mistake , just wipe and try again!

You really should check out bloesem kids they have some magnificent ideas.
