You can make your labyrinth any size. Space permitting you could make it large enough to physically walk around or if space is more limited you can make a smaller one to trace around with a finger.

Get crafty!

Try using different materials to make your labyrinth. It can be permanent or ephemeral. Larger labyrinths could be marked out with hedges or plants, stones, ropes... Finger labyrinths could be embroidered, appliquéd, drawn, painted... Let your imagination go!
