LEGO Marble Maze

Ideas for making them

S.O.S.: Dot stickers on any surface, and dry erase markers. Transparent surfaces are a bit better because you can turn the board around so the dots are on the back side and do not interfere with the markers. (I put a white board behind it so the dot could be more easily seen.)
