Soft Fleece Blanket Rat Maze

This is footage of my boys learning how to run a maze in January 2010. They really seem to love this! The softness of the fleece blanket and their natural inclination for dark places go hand-in-hand. These are easy to make too! Just buy a fleece blanket (I got two blankets for $5 at Walgreens). Fold in half an sew the unfolded edges together. Use a maze generator (like http://www.glassgiant.com/maze/ ) and then trace the maze onto the blanket with a sharpie. Use a zig-zag stitch and trace the sharpie lines with your sewing machine. Cut the entrances and exits (or you can make the entrances and exits at the edge of the blanket and avoid making cuts). The best part is that there is no reason to strive for sewing perfection. The rats will destroy it or you’ll get bored with it and want to make a new one before lackluster finishing ruins the maze!
