HINT: If you use a potato that already has “eyes” or small growths it will go quicker =) Just check the bottom of your potato bag, I bet you already have one! Set the potato in the bottom level of your maze. Put the potato in some moist soil in a small pot. DOn’t forget to make a door or put the lid back! Just make sure there is a path the plant can take to get from the pot at the bottom to the out of the box towards the sunlight. Finally, we added some purple duct tape for both style and function. We used recycled Amazon boxes for the main frame and cut out flaps from other boxes. This is why this is such a great STEM (science, teachnology, engineering, and math) activity. you can make different gaps a la Mario games, or anything else you can think of. You can make shelves with 3-4″ holes to get to the next level. So open up the side of a large box and start adding obstacles. So what do you need to try this potato activity for kids? Just a couple simple materials you probably have laying around your house!īasically you get to make a maze for the vegetable to navigate.
