Abstract learning tools and course curriculum have been developed to assist in the classroom. Amazing Stuff consisting of Steve Gross Gordon also works with physical and occupational therapists to design activities that develop and improve motor skills and coordination. Mazes have proven to be an effective eye hand coordination development and improvement tool. Labyrinths hold the key to ancient civilizations' mysteries and rituals. Mazes and stone circle have been found in deserts as well as along shore lines. Colored tile images can be found on the floors of churches and cathedrals and in private villas. Labyrinths have been used for centuries for spiritual awakening and contemplation. The large scale meandering and winding circuits and pathways have been the place where many ceremonies and dancing rituals have taken place. Many world cultures, modern as well as ancient, follow the cycles of time and seasons. Labyrinth symbols have been found on historic artifacts and in glyphics. Many ancient legends and mythologies contain references to mazes. Theseus defeating the minotaur with Ariadnes' help is but one story from legend. Remnants of mazes have been found in Peru, Arizona, Iceland, Crete, Egypt, India, Sumatra. Mazes can be made of many different materials. Some are made from mosaic tile, some from wood, some out of hedge. Other from mirrors, or stones, or even waterfalls, not to mention from turf as the ancients did. Certainly the most prolific mazemaker of the 20th century designing mostly for amazement and amusement is Adrian Fisher. His creations can be found in amusement and theme parks, self made attractions and in museum exhibits all over the world. Puzzle mazes make inexpensive and fun gifts and can be found in any book store or where ever toys are sold. They're great for any occasion: as anniversary themes, as birthday gifts, as graduation presents, as holidays presents, as Mother's Day and Father's Day themes, even as weddings favors!

Links to Maze and Labyrinth Resources

History is filled with legends and stories associated with mazes and labyrinths dating back more than 3,500 years, and their origin and purpose have been shrouded in mystery. The Internet can provide a wealth of knowledge about people and organizations "making history" with mazes and labyrinths. Here are just a few:

Caerdroia - the Journal of Mazes and Labyrinths - Caerdroia is a forum for all those interested in the labyrinthine path. It is currently the premier source of information for news, theories and research available and is published annually by Jeff Saward, founder and editor of Caerdroia. I encourage you to check it out!

Minotaur Maze Exhibits - the best resource I have found anywhere, for traveling educational maze exhibits. Transform your plain open space (indoors or outdoors) into an educational, interactive fun-filled "amazing" adventure that children of all ages can be immersed in, enjoy interacting with, and learn about the world they live in.

Morrison Maze prints - a solvable modern art. Signed, numbered and collected worldwide. Due to the immense detail of these mazes only one new work is released each year, usually in the fall.

Adrian Fisher Maze Design - A maze design pioneer and certainly the most prolific maze designer of the 20th century, Adrian Fisher has been involved in many interesting maze projects around the world. His work is the subject of many museum exhibits and TV and radio specials. He has also compiled a great deal of maze-related information into several definitive books available on his Web site.

If you have any links to maze or labyrinth sites you feel like sharing, please email Steve and we will add it here. Thanks.
