I want Thinking Thursdays to be a fun way to improve critical thinking skills, reasoning, listening, mindfulness, etc. without your children even realizing they are learning! I will post a minimum of one activity on Thursdays you can do with your child to increase their skills in this area. Bottom line, I want them to have fun because learning is fun! This week I want to have fun with mazes! How about building a maze with Legos! The maze could be built on a base plate or directly on the floor. Make the path wide enough to take cars or their favorite toys through the maze. They can add dead ends and wrong turns in their path. The more turns they have, the more difficult the maze.
An alternative to a Lego maze would be to build a room-size maze using books, boxes, toys, cardboard, etc. The path can be wide enough for your child to walk through or it could be the size for just using toy cars, stuffed animals, etc. Be creative and have fun!
