Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Print both pages; the second, with the red solution line, stays with you until the maze is done.
- From the arrow the route goes down first and then works its way to the middle of the maze.
- In the middle comes a straight run of six squares from left to right, then a short climb and a final drop down the right-hand edge into the circle.
- When finished, put both pages side by side and compare the lines.
What this worksheet teaches
Checking one's own work is a skill in itself, and this card is built for it. The correct route is short, 17 of the 48 squares, with only one real decision point, while 5 dead ends branch off elsewhere. That keeps the maze within reach for a four-year-old, so the answer page becomes a reward rather than a rescue. Comparing two drawings square by square also trains careful looking, the same attention children later use to tell apart similar letters such as b and d.
Play idea
Swap roles: after your child has solved the maze, you try it while your child holds the answer page and says "yes" or "try again" at each turn.
