My son used LEGO's. He glued them together making trap doors and everything. You can make the walls as high as you want...

Excellent idea, mouse mazes are always a good project. It is important that walls are high enough that it doesn't try to climb over them.
Do some tests using a cardboard maze, just a small section of the main maze, before you build your final project. You'll be very glad for the experience and your final maze will be much better for it.
The easiest material I can think of that you could use would be Balsa Wood. It is very easy to cut with a razor blade or X-acto knife and is quite sturdy.
You can find good selections at local hobby shops or online. If you purchase from online, I would recommend going to a hobby shop first and making sure the thickness and size of the wood you're going to order are correct.
You'll need a solid piece of wood for the backboard. You may possibly find a piece of plastic material that will work as well; make sure whatever epoxy/glue you use sticks to it.
The balsa wood is very light and soft but surprisingly strong. It's still possible to crush it so be careful. :)
Good luck!

p.s. Don't forget a sheet of 200 and a sheet of 400 grit sandpaper. Shape the wood with the 200 and smooth it with the 400. It'll look great. :)
