DIY marble maze turns into a virtual reality app

by mari

Do you remember marble mazes when you were a kid? They were those big wooden boxes with the little rotating knobs that used to fascinate and sometimes frustrate!

Seedling has come up with an ingenious new take on the classic wooden marble maze. Like all of Seedling’s craft kits, this Design Your Own Marble Maze set includes everything you need to make your own marble maze – the wooden box, marbles, and lots of movable walls and paper templates so you can recreate the maze a zillino and one different ways. That alone is pretty cool.

But guess what, it gets better. Take a photo of the finished maze with the free app, and you can design it again virtually – with images, colors, themes, and added traps too. And then, you can decorate your own cardboard virtual reality viewer, plop your phone inside and ENTER your maze in 3D. Yep, that’s right. This maze craft kit has a little bit of everything – and just think about the spacial reasoning skills your kids will be mastering as they transfer their maze from flat to app to virtual reality.

The Seedling Design Your Own Marble Maze set isn’t available quite yet – but it’s in pre-sale which means you can order it now and be one of the first to get your hands on it. Did someone say Christmas gift?
