Fabric Marble Mazes

I've just finished making my own fabric marble maze and I'm so happy with the result that I just had to share it! It's a nice, quiet fidget that's soft and can really work your fine motor skills. Manipulating the marble through the maze can even improve one's ability to hold a pencil and write.

I made mine out of fleece and used embroidery thread for the stitching. I drew lines onto the fabric with a marker and hand-sewed along them. I'm not especially skilled at sewing, but the final product is still pretty good. 

My maze has no beginning or end, with several ways to complete the maze and no dead ends. You could make a maze with a beginning and an end, using little felt shapes sewn on to mark where the beginning and end are. Making a more complicated maze with dead ends would also help to improve executive functioning by encouraging planning skills, but may not be as effective as a fidget.
