Chose your own permaculture homestead maze! Click on the maze for higher resolution
It's a very open-ended and open-beginning maze. You can start wherever you want, and go wherever you want. My kids enjoy checking off each activity on the maze, and they keep asking me to print off the maze so they can do this again and again. But there's all sorts of ways you can play it!
It's also a fun way to learn different permaculture and homesteading techniques and activities! Here's a list of things you can find on the maze:
Building:
- Wofati house
- tiny home
- Shaving horse and grind stone
- Hammer & anvil
- Coppiced tree & wattle fence
Growing:
- Maple trees & maple sap
- Herb spiral
- Keyhole garden
- Hugelkulture
- Composting
- Mushrooms & woodlot
- Polyculture market garden/orchard
- Pollinator garden
Energy/Transportation:
- Bike with trailer
- Solar & wind power
- Rocket stove
- Rocket oven
- Tractor
Miscellaneous:
- Drying herbs
- Well water pump
- Outhouse
- Spinning wheel
- Sewing machine
Also, can you find Paul Wheaton? He's our "Where's Wheaton" :D
/edit I've got a lot of it drawn, but I still have some space and I'm running low on ideas. I've got room for about 6 more things. Here's what I've thought of so far, but there's probably more/better ideas out there!
- Evergreen trees with mushroom logs
- Compost heap
- maybe something herbal...but how do I depict that to scale?
- maybe or a solar dehydrator
- Horse drawn plow?
- Maple tree being tapped!
I'm totally open to more ideas! Here's the maze so far

Silly scanner has cropped off a line or two, but you get the picture....
Hahaha, my kids are doing it right now because they saw me scan it in. My son thought the keyhole garden was a beaver hut . Maybe I should work on that one more
Great work! My 6yo daughter has been using the first one for a few days now and really likes it. She suggested maybe a pollinator habitat flower garden for the new one. Thank you for sharing them!
Thank you, L! I thought about listing these as a digital market item, but then I thought about all the times I'd downloaded mazes and coloring pages off of the internet for my kids. This seemed like a small way to give back!
