Now, our mazes are not quite so complicated as a labyrinth and do not have quite so many ever-changing twists and turns, which makes them perfect to leave the kids alone with for half an hour. Do you have a budding artist in your home? Do your kids just love getting everything out of the craft box, creating a masterpiece and then leaving you to hoover up so much glitter you wonder how it all fits in that tiny bottle in the first place? Say no more. There should be some spectacular rainforest art on the way!
