Cornfield Maze

Stump your friends! Create challenging mazes through the cornfields in crisp fall colors.

1. Draw a maze using Crayola® Colored Pencils or Color Sticks. Fill a whole sheet of construction paper. Include twists and turns, dead ends, loops, and tricky places. You're drawing a map designed to confuse your friends!

2. Outline the maze path with corn stalks filled with ripe ears of corn, tassels, shucks, and drying leaves. You'll probably use lots of yellows, greens, and browns.

3. Swap finished puzzles with your friends, and find your ways through each other's mazes.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
