Maze: Santa Carries Presents to the Christmas Tree — Ages 5–6
How to use this worksheet
- Find the kind gift bringer at the start of the maze and the Christmas tree with presents at the finish.
- Deliver the presents with a finger first, street by street, then draw the way to the Christmas tree in pencil.
- Some streets in the snowy town end in a wall, so a five-year-old learns to pause and look ahead with the sack of presents.
What this worksheet teaches
Delivering the presents through a 7 × 5 grid helps a five- or six-year-old plan a few turns ahead, turn back calmly from a dead-end street and keep a steady line. The decorated tree is a festive goal.
Play idea
Draw a present under the tree for each family member and guess what is inside.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Is this a good activity for a December afternoon?
Yes — the maze is a calm activity before the holidays, and afterward your child can color the tree and the gifts.
What if my child gets stuck?
Go back to the last corner of the snowy town and try the street the gift bringer has not visited yet.
How long does it take?
About five minutes for a five-year-old — a calm break on a busy December day, with time left to color the presents.
