Problem Solving ... with Mazes!

Last week, after kindergarten finished talking about problem solving and littering, they made mazes. They had to use play dough and popsicle sticks to make their maze and get a ball (a piece of litter) from the ground (beginning of the maze) to the trash can (end of the maze). The put their mazes on serving trays (thank you, Mrs. Toscano for letting me borrow yours!) to they could move their ball around when they were ready. There was some awesome problem solving, discussion and team work going on!
