A "MAZE" ING guest post by Jennifer from "Queen of Chaos"

      I am very excited to have Jennifer from "Queen of Chaos" here with me, today. She is a mom of four darling kids-  3 gorgeous little girls, and one handsome son. I have invited Jennifer to come share one of her favorite activities that her and her children do together. I would like to thank her for taking the time out of her busy schedule to come visit, and share her fun activity with us.

     I know I can't be the only one out there with hyper active children. I have had several discussions with other moms on how they have some kids that can just play happily by themselves and how other kids need constant entertainment. I needed something to do that would get both those children to get along together. So I sent my 7 year son to get all his Lego's and my 4 year old daughter to get the marbles out of marble works.

     I love things that keep them quiet and cooperative while challenging them at the same time. This was perfect for just that. I gave my 2 oldest kids a Lego sheet and told them to make a maze.  Although they ended up making one together, and I was very happy to see how well they cooperated. I ended up making the other one with my 2 year old "helper." We then would periodically switch to test each others out.

     This was fun because with trial and error we could do it so many different fun ways. They got to learn spacial awareness, tactics, communication with the others and so much more! I love that you could make this as intricate or small as you wanted. All my kids enjoyed both parts of making and doing on this as well!

Here is a little video clip of my son doing the mazes.

  I would like to, once again, thank Jennifer for stopping by. Lego's are really fun to play with, and are great to use to help kids learn. Thanks again!
