Candy Maze Kit Is a Great Easter Basket Addition

If you’re looking for an activity kit that even non-crafty kids will enjoy, I think this Reeves International Red Toolbox Junior Candy Maze is a winner. With your help, your child can build a wooden maze that sends jelly beans or other small candies rolling through a series of ramps and out into a dispensing tray. Wouldn’t this be a fun addition to your child’s Easter basket?

The kit includes 22 high quality wooden parts, five foam rubber balls, a rubber band, nails, sandpaper, and illustrated instructions. A hammer and wood glue are required for assembly. You’ll also want to buy some jelly beans or gum balls to send rolling through the candy maze. I’d suggest buying a few different kinds of candy to see what rolls through the maze the best.

Your child can leave the candy maze plain or personalize it with his own decorations. I’ve found that Sharpie permanent markers are less messy than paint for projects like this, but you could certainly decorate the maze with acrylic craft paint if you prefer.

This maze reminds me of the larger plastic candy maze dispensers you sometimes see at shopping malls. Our local mall had one of these mazes when my son was younger and he was crushed when it was removed. I think he’d get a kick out of making a maze for his room.

You can purchase the Reeves International Red Toolbox Junior Candy Maze on the Fat Brain Toys website for $12.95. The site has a flat rate $3.99 shipping fee.

What do you think? Does this look like something your child would enjoy?
