Optional: Green and orange tissue paper to add details and vines and in your maze.Marbles, pompoms, or wooden marbles to roll through your maze.(Younger kids might find these Tacky glue pens much easier to use!) Just be sure to teach the kids to always put the “hats” (tops) back on the glue bottles so they don’t get lost and dry out. Glue (I like using Tacky glue since it holds well and dries fairly quickly.Construction paper or card stock in various shades of green cut into strips ranging in size from 1/2 inch to 1 inch.I loved the sturdiness and size of them, as well as the color- perfect for a pumpkin patch!) Sturdy paper plates (We used these 10-inch plates made from various plant stalks.Materials for Pumpkin Patch Paper Plate Marble Maze Pumpkin Patch Paper Plate Marble Maze STEM Challenge You can also make your own wooden jack-o’-lantern marbles to use in the project which would be really fun! (See directions for making dyed marbles at the end of the post.) The kids used orange marbles for the challenge, but younger children could use orange pom poms, as they’re easier to control as you try to get your pumpkin or jack-o-lantern to roll through the maze. The students had an absolute blast creating pumpkin patches using construction paper strips, tissue paper, and pompoms! We changed up the supplies used in this STEM challenge a bit in comparison to our regular paper plate marble maze (although I would invite you to try any other materials you think the kids might enjoy). Our first paper plate marble mazes were such a hit (with kindergarteners up through upper elementary) that we couldn’t wait to try a new take on our popular STEM activity- creating pumpkin patch paper plate marble mazes! In this activity children create loops and paths for their marbles to go through while using their hands to tilt their paper plates various directions. Design a paper plate marble maze that looks just like a pumpkin patch in this Halloween STEM challenge for kids! Children will explore various physics concepts (like balance and gravity) as they create and design mazes and obstacles for marbles to travel through in their pumpkin patch paper plate marble mazes in this fun fall science activity!
