Americana Mazes - Mazes that celebrate the USA

Usually I create my maze collections with a theme in mind. I make a group of animal mazes or number mazes or name mazes. I have made mazes for a few years I have the ability to be able to gather groups of mazes that fit into a theme. Today I am going to do just that by gathering together some of my Americana Mazes.

These are mazes for the holidays of President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day (4th of July if you prefer), Veteran’s Day, and Election Day. When I started to pull together mazes for those holidays I realized it was a lot of overlap, so you get this one large post instead !

My Top Americana Mazes

The best place to start is with the flag. I have made a few different versions of the United States Flag Maze. This version is an on-line version, so you solve it by traveling on the line rather than between them like normal !

And of course, I and to include some Bald Eagle Mazes. You get 3 versions. An easy kids version or a medium difficulty version. I also included a comic book version. Click on an image to see a larger version of it. Downloads are below.

 

This website is dedicated to making maze art, and these are some of the best at showing the USA. The difficulty varies a lot from medium to difficult. Click on an image to see a larger version of it. Downloads are below.

 

I had to include some sports mazes. I went with football and baseball as the most American games. We start with some kids mazes. Click on an image to see a larger version of it. Downloads are below.

 

This post is about Americana mazes, but also about holidays. Here is the Memorial/Veteran’s Day maze section of the post. I included a few military vehicles from the different branches. I have a vehicle section of the site if you want more versions. Click on an image to see a larger version of it. I also included a maze of the famous Air Force Chapel. Downloads are below.

 

How about a Election Day Maze ?

Me divertí con este Laberinto de Cohete, girando la "E" para hacer una bonita nariz de cohete y usando una C en mayúsculas para la base. Tengo una sección con más de 40 laberintos de vehículos disponibles si quieres echarles un vistazo.

Word Play Mazes - The Autological Maze Collection

I have always liked word play games. I have also always liked making mazes. SO I ended up combining the two for a Maze Collection on the website. Honestly, the maze portion of the word play is secondary to the word play. But still we have a nice section of mazes that I enjoyed making. Lots of Autological interpretations of words. So a word that looks like what it is (plus a maze). I have over 100 on the site in the word play maze collection, so let’s just look at a few of my favorites !!!

My Top 10 Autological Word Mazes

I really like this Balloons Maze which looks like a collection of multi-colored balloons. It is actually 8 different individual letter mazes that I had made for name mazes (I have over 2000 name mazes on the site).

And I had fun making this Broken Maze. At first I had trouble with the E and the N, but once I figured it out I really like how this came out !

And this Crowded Maze probably was inspired while I was riding the subway one morning on the way to work. It feels crowded to me. Every time I read crowded subway I feel the dread of the ride I experienced so many times..

This Disappear Maze is not so easy to solve because each letter does indeed disappear. This maze also has a close relative called the Fade Maze you can find on the site.

I liked making this Melt Maze. I even did a bit extra and melted the arrows ! This maze also has a close relative on the site, the Mud Maze. I melted only the outside of the letters and not the internal pathways since that would have ruined the maze.

Melt Autological Maze

I think this maze gets the most downloads in the word maze section on the site. Skewed letters help give the Mountain Maze shape, and everyone likes the mountain climbers working their way to the peak ! I considered a Cable Car for the tourists…but simpler is better in this case.

Mountain Autological Maze

I had fun with this Rocket Maze, rotating the “T” to make a nice rocket nose and using a uppercase R for the base. One of my favorite recent mazes is the Space Shuttle Maze you can find in my vehicle maze section.

Possibly my favorite Autological Maze is this Shadow Maze which gets a bit of help from the Sun.

Like the Broken Maze above, I had a bit of trouble making the Split Maze, but eventually figured it out. It was the one of the first mazes on the site with 1 start and 2 possible goals (now there are a few more).

And why not end with this Unfinished Maze which is appropriately unfinished (but still solvable) ! The thing about leaving a maze unfinished is

Fruits and Vegetable Mazes - A Collection of Mazes to Make you Hungry

Maybe it’s because I eat a lot of them so they are always top of mind, but I seem to make a lot of Fruit and Vegetable Mazes. Some of them are collected in the newly updated Food Maze Collection, but not all of them. The nice thing about that section is there are so many different food mazes to look through, but it certainly isn’t concise so today I want to take you through my favorite Fruit and Vegetable Mazes. This list includes mazes from very easy to hard.

Let’s get started !

My 10 Favorite Fruit and Vegetable Mazes

In no particular order…let’s start with a maze I like because of the shading when I colored it. The difficult thing about making a Peach Maze is making sure it doesn’t look like an Apple. The Notch down the side and the shading do this I think.

Another maze where I used some shading to add some green to the Banana Maze. I made 2 versions of the same illustration, one very easy and the other a bit harder.

One of the first vegetable mazes I made for the website was this Cabbage Maze. It is a difficult maze to solve, but I really like the way it turned out despite that. As you can see I used the pathways to color the cabbage rather than use black, and varied the coloring to ensure it looked more cabbage-y than lettuce.

This Peanut Maze is a vegetable maze which I had to search for online to confirm because I didn’t know. The design of this looks a bit like a grid maze because of the structure of a peanut, but is really a draw and cut construction.

My guess is you won’t find many Garlic Bulb Mazes out there on the webs. I like the look of this one and enjoy the free drawn maze construction method. Garlic really has a interesting curved shape so this construction fit perfectly IMO.

Not all of my mazes are made for kids, like this Strawberry Maze that is a bit more complicated. I went heavy on the seeds. But, most of them are made for kids, so I did a second version that is easy.

This Carrot Maze was made for kids. I made it extra bright to give it a cartoonlike look. I wouldn’t suggest you eat a carrot if the greens were really glowing like this !

I think I made this for a Vegetarian holiday. It features a group of a few of the vegetables I have made for different projects grouped together. It makes for a nice Vegetables Maze, although you only move through the lettuce, so maybe it is more accurately a Green Leaf Lettuce Maze.

If you liked the difficulty of the Cabbage Maze above, you will also enjoy this Corn on the Cob Maze, not to be confused with a Corn Maze on a farm ! I went black and white on this one, so feel free to color it when you are done with the maze. It uses both a vertical and horizontal maze construction. It is also a maze whose bones would make for a good draw and cut maze like the Peanut maze above.

Then, I went back and colored the illustration and made the maze much easier.

That concludes my 10 favorite fruit and vegetable mazes. If you are looking for something more I have actually made a free downloadable activity book for kids on the subject. It is one of my early ones, with 24 pages of activities plus answers. You might recognize some of the pictures on the cover. You can find it in the Activity Book Section. It features word unscramble (or drow sunblecram), dot box, connect the dots, coloring pages and other similar games.
