CHILDREN AND THE LABYRINTH

 Labyrinths are being used successfully in schools, childcare centres,
playgrounds, camps and other programs. Labyrinth activities
support math, language, history, art and physical education.

They have been used to welcome new students, help children grieve
losses, resolve conflicts, fundraise, celebrate graduations, and
host community events.

Most notably, educators report that the labyrinth assists students
to calm down, make transitions, and focus.
