DIY Tissue Box Marble Maze - looking down on finished maze Before tossing out tissue boxes, your child may be interested in making this marble maze. You can easily make this with a few supplies: tissue boxes, hot glue, straws, scissors, and any scrap piece of art/paper. My son had lots of fun with this and he's currently altering the maze course to make it more complex by adding a third tissue box, as well as, making more holes in the maze so he'd have to start over again if his ball falls out!

Total Time: 25 minutes

Supplies:

tissue box
small ball/marble
scissors
hot glue
straws
paper/art work

Steps:

Cut tissue boxes down to about 2 inches tall and where the boxes will join cut the seam to glue them together.
