Instructions
First you need to decide what exactly yours will be. It’s quite difficult to do it in a city, unless you have a two-story apartment. Best for creating a labyrinth Vacation home or dacha. Think about where you want to place the future labyrinth. It could be basement your house. This will give your labyrinth more mystery and mystery. You can also make a small maze for your children to play in. By placing it under the second floor, you can watch from above as your child tries to find the only correct path.
Let's say that you have chosen the basement as the location for the future labyrinth. now is the time to think about the drawing. This is one of the most important parts of building a labyrinth. There are labyrinths different types and of varying complexity. The best thing in the house is a rectangular labyrinth or square shape. This labyrinth is easy to build. Design a detailed maze on paper. You can take it already ready-made diagram from any source, or you can use your own imagination. Remember that there should only be one correct exit to a maze. Also try not to make the paths too complicated. Still, this is a little entertainment for your guests, not torture. After making the sketch, make exact drawing with dimensions. The width should be sufficient for an adult to move comfortably in it, but not too wide so as to create the impression of an enclosed space.
Now that I'm ready detailed drawing, you can proceed directly to preparing the premises. It must be completely cleaned extra items. Also examine the floor, walls and ceiling for unevenness. They need to be removed. Now you need to purchase the material from which you will make the corridors of the future labyrinth. It is best to use thin sheets and plywood. They are easy to process and do not take up much space. You need to take the material with a reserve in case you spoil some of the workpieces.
Make labyrinth blanks from the purchased material. There will be a lot of them, so you should collect them as you make them, starting from the far wall. It is recommended to fasten the parts together with screws. Make sure that the bottom of the parts fits tightly to the floor and that there are no small gaps through which light can penetrate. When all the pieces are installed, you need to think about lighting. Here everything depends only on your imagination. It is best to install small lamps in different parts labyrinth, but this must be done evenly so as not to highlight the correct exit path.
After installing the lighting, you need to take care of the exterior decoration. You can paint the walls of the labyrinth in some color or imitate the surface oak boards. But it is best to cover the walls of the labyrinth with fabric, for example, a material similar to velvet. Also think about accessories. Install stylized toys with mysterious dim lighting. They will look beautiful the bats with glowing eyes. You can also hang portraits of magicians or sorcerers, lightly lighting them. It will be very realistic if you add to everyone else sound accompaniment. To do this, install several speakers on the ceiling. To do this, use round speakers.
You can also equip your labyrinth with a video tracking system, then you will be able to monitor all the movements of the guest. Don't forget about the correct exit route as well. It needs to be highlighted somehow. It is best to use light signals. For example, in the middle of all corridors lay LED strip. Lay a green tape on the right path, and red tape on the wrong path. Connect the tapes to one button or remote control, now when you press a button, a lost person can easily find a way out.
Board games are winning our hearts more and more. Among the old and favorite varieties of board games and puzzles lives a labyrinth. Remember, in a small plastic thin box with one transparent side there was a labyrinth through which you had to roll a metal ball to the center or to the hole where it was supposed to fall. So you can make similar labyrinths yourself - fun, entertaining and educational. And everything that is made with your own hands is also incredibly expensive and valuable!
So, let's begin!
LEGO brick maze, of which there are many in every home where children grow up. We take a plate (preferably not a large one, so that it is comfortable to hold in your hands) and fasten the parts.
All that remains is to launch the marbles ball and go through the maze to the end!
The complexity of the maze can be adjusted independently depending on the age and preparedness of the child.
We will make the next labyrinth in cardboard box with "tunnels" from bushings left over from toilet paper.
It is most convenient to use the lid from the box - it is strong and not deep. We glue bushings into it, which we paint in different colors. Younger children can simply try to roll a ping pong ball through the tunnels. And older children can complete tasks - they need to prepare cards with the same colors as on the sleeves. The cards are shuffled and randomly drawn from the deck. And now you need to go through the labyrinth through the tunnels in exactly the order the colors fell out.
Labyrinth in a tray
Naturally, we need a tray. We will glue cocktail tubes into it, which can be painted or left in their original color. The tubes will serve as fence walls. Let's launch the marbles ball.
Labyrinth in a CD box
We take the disc box, glue it with chenille wire (thin “shaggy” wire for crafts) and launch a tiny ball. You can take this labyrinth with you on a walk - it is compact and light.
Maze with a hole (or many holes)
Great masters can make and navigate such a labyrinth. M
See what unusual games you can make from scraps waste materials. They can keep children occupied on a hike, in the country, at home.
How to make a giant domino with your own hands?
Often, city residents are sorely lacking in movement. You can fill this gap at the dacha by making unusual games. Dominoes are suitable for adults, but in an unusual way.
To move chips like this, you have to work hard. But first you need to put in the effort to make the dominoes. For it you will use:
- boards;
- saw;
- dark stain;
- paint brush;
- white oil paint;
- circle pattern;
- grinder or sandpaper.
Now, sequentially, allowing each layer to dry, apply two or three layers of stain.
When the last one dries, then we begin the interesting process of marking. If you are not striving for a perfectly even shape, then you can paint the dividing stripes with white paint with a brush. If you want them to be flawless, then use a stencil. This item, but with round hole, will help to apply other elements to the dominoes.
Draw circles on the figures, let them dry, after which you can try out the game in action.
"Tic-tac-toe" for children
Sometimes an idea for entertainment can be found almost under your feet. See how you can make the game of Tic Tac Toe even more interesting by taking stones.

- saw;
- a sheet of paper or cardboard;
- stationery knife;
- ruler;
- white oil paint;
- stones;
- scotch;
- brush.
Now apply a layer of white paint to this template attached to the board, let it dry, and paint it a second time.
While the playing surface is drying, let's work on the stones. First, wash them well with a brush and dry. Then draw crosses on some and zeroes on others.
You can diversify this entertainment if you paint the stones in two types to resemble insects. One player is given ladybugs, the other is given striped bugs. The winner is the one who can quickly line up his pieces in a straight or diagonal line.
If you want to quickly play Tic Tac Toe, but don’t have a suitable base, then you can use squares cut out of cardboard or tiles.
Unusual games for children: master class
They can also be made from what you have on hand.
For this one you will need:
- plastic bag with zipper;
- transparent hair gel;
- glitter;
- rubber figures of fish, algae or pieces of plastic.
- Use a transparent plastic bag in which pillows and other products are sold. If you don’t have one, you will need 2 strong bags, which you insert one into the other, seal the hole on top with electrical tape.
- Pour transparent gel into the prepared container, pour glitter into it, shake several times.
- If there are residents available depths of the sea made of rubber or similar waterproof material, place inside. If there are none, cut them out of thin plastic.
- The child will be interested in playing with such a toy, but do not pour the solution to the top so that it does not leak through the top hole.
For it you will need:
- plastic bag with closing device;
- colored electrical tape of different colors;
- scissors;
- dry peas, beans or beans.
DIY crafts from disposable plates
They will allow you to get attributes for games in just a few minutes. Balloon You can throw each other not only with your hands, but with such interesting devices.
To create you will need:
- two plastic disposable plates;
- glue;
- 2 ice cream sticks;
- balloon for the game.
Disposable plates will quickly turn into tic-tac-toe paraphernalia. For this with reverse side The corresponding signs are drawn with a marker. You can quickly make a playing field from clothing belts or braid. These elements need to be laid out parallel and perpendicular to each other at the same distance, and the places where they intersect must be sewn up. After which the original game is ready.
If you have a cardboard roll left over from disposable towels or other materials, use it for your next fun activity. You also need to cut out the bottom of disposable plates and paint the remaining rims, which the child will do with great pleasure.
Using tape, stick the sleeve onto the inverted plate; it is better to attach a weighting agent to the reverse side. Now you need to throw the rings onto the base, thereby training your accuracy. You can also use toilet paper rolls. Having moved some distance, the child will throw rings here from disposable tableware a certain color.
Look what chic jewelry they create for young ladies from the same waste material. If you still have disposable plates after celebrating some event, do not throw them away, wash them and dry them. From their lower part you need to cut out a headband, and from the upper part: a heart, leaf, ears, star or other object.
The diagrams presented below will simplify your task; you can make such hats for girls who will certainly love these accessories.
But you can also choose for boys suitable model, using not a plastic, but a cardboard disposable plate. If you don’t have one, you can cut out a hat from regular cardboard and decorate it with a stylish sticker, which is also easy to make.
If children decide to play princes or princesses, take:
- disposable paper plates;
- scissors;
- beads;
- glue;
- pencil;
- ruler.
If you need to quickly make a carnival mask, disposable plates will also help with this. Cut each in half and paint desired color, draw details of the face such as mouth, ears, eyes. But it is better to cut out the latter in order to be able to look through the mask. Wrap a wooden skewer with paper tape. Glue on one side of the mask.
Outdoor games for children
They are also made from practically nothing. For the next one you need to take:
- empty tin cans;
- drill or nail with hammer;
- rope;
- scissors or knife;
- 2 slingshots;
- a strong branch.
- Sharpen the ends of the spears and drive them into the ground.
- Do in tin cans two holes opposite each other. If you have a drill, drill them with this tool, if not, then put the can on a block of wood, place it with inside nail, hit it several times with a hammer. You will get a hole of the required diameter.
- Insert a rope into these and tie the ends.
- Hang the cans on a branch that needs to be secured to the ends of the slings as a horizontal crossbar.
- Children will throw small balls here. Give more points for hitting jars that have a smaller diameter.
This kind of entertainment is good to arrange on a hike, using jars you take with you that open with a ring so that their edges are not sharp. If you don't have balls, use crumpled up pieces of newspaper instead.
Similar outdoor activities can be made from empty plastic bottles. Fold them into the released cardboard box tightly to each other. Let the children throw rings on them, competing in accuracy.
For the next unusual game you will need:
- two plastic canisters with handles;
- two types of colored electrical tape;
- small ball.
IN plastic containers cut off the bottom, if you wish, you can cover them with white acrylic paint. If not, then immediately attach strips of electrical tape to the bottom of the bottles. Moreover, one of them will cover the sharp cut, framing it on both sides. Now children can throw a ball to each other and catch it with such interesting devices.
Here are some other outdoor activities you can come up with using tin cans.
Color them. Let the child build a pyramid from this material, and then the children will compete in accuracy, trying to hit the balls into such a container.
If you drill holes in this material, but closer to the bottom, thread a strong rope here, and fasten it well, then you can make small stilts like this.
How to make a labyrinth with your own hands?
If the children are a little tired from active games, then offer them calmer ones, let the children rest. For the next one you need to use:
- plastic or wooden tray with handles;
- wooden sticks or a cocktail straw;
- glue;
- small balls.
Speaking about how to make a labyrinth, it should be noted that it can be more voluminous.
Make one from strips of cardboard from a box. If you want to make a maze for a hamster, then use thin plywood. The child will be delighted with another cardboard maze, which boxes will help create.
Cut round holes in some places so that the baby can pass through. Connect the structure using tape. This is the kind of unusual game that awaits a child if parents show their imagination. Do not leave him here alone, as the child may panic if he cannot find a way out. So stand nearby, guide him in a calm voice, encourage him, praise him and support him.
Here's how to make a maze using cotton swabs.
For this you will need:
- cotton buds;
- glue;
- sheet of cardboard;
- colored paper;
- small ball.
To make it easier for you to create a maze, look at the following two diagrams, which show options for the location of its obstacles.
Unusual racing track for boys
Having shown ingenuity, parents will make a highway for their beloved children in the country or right at home. Let's look at the street options first.
To implement this idea, take:
- shovel;
- cement;
- sand;
- water;
- thin brush;
- white oil paint.
- First you need to mark the future route; to do this, outline the outline with a shovel, then using this tool, remove the turf to a depth of 7 cm.
- Pour a little sand here and moisten it. Pour a solution made from water, cement and sand on top. When it has completely hardened, it will turn white oil paint mark the road.
- Even before this, when the cement has set a little but remains pliable, you can lay it along the edge of the road small pebbles. Attach half of the tire from the wheel to form a suspension bridge.
- Make a pedestrian crossing on the road, put up signs so that the child receives the first skills that he will certainly need in life.
They can be studied not only on the street, but also at home. Look what a beautiful multi-tiered driveway you can create with leftover toilet paper rolls.
Some of them need to be cut in half lengthwise, inserted into whole elements, secured with tape, thereby connecting the individual parts into a solid structure. A road is drawn on the floor with chalk, after which you can release the cars so that they rush along this race track like a breeze.
If there is little space on the floor, you can make unusual games on this theme right on the wall. To do this, you will need a magnetic road, then the cars will stick to it tightly.
The child will get his next racing track thanks to his mother. The parent needs to prepare:
- a piece of burlap or other dense flesh-colored fabric;
- a piece of black fabric or wide braid of the same color;
- white threads for embroidery.
Glue or sew black stripes in the form of car tracks onto a rectangle of thick flesh-colored fabric. First, or at this stage, you need to embroider a dividing strip on them with white threads. The child will be happy to play here.
If you need to quickly keep your baby occupied or come up with new entertainment, then stick it on carpet covering tape in a contrasting color to turn it into a road.
If you are not afraid of damaging the sofa, then attach the electrical tape not only to the floor, but also here. The result will be a two-level racing track.
- If you are relaxing with your child at the seaside, he is bored on the beach, grab some paints here first.
- Find flat and voluminous stones. Some of them need to be turned into a highway, others into cars and buses that will travel along it.
- Color other stones with your child to make them small houses, traffic signs.
This way, out of practically nothing, you can create unusual games, thereby keeping your child occupied for some time. The main thing is to be smart or use ideas already proposed. If you want to see others, then watch the suggested videos.
The first one tells you how to do funny toy who draws herself.
The second story will tell you how to quickly make an interesting game from waste materials that even a child can create.
