Maze: The Butterfly Flies to a Flower — Ages 6–8
How to use this worksheet
- Find the butterfly at the start of the maze and the flower at the finish.
- Flutter a finger lightly toward the flower, then draw the butterfly's path with a light pencil line.
- In the 10 × 7 grid the butterfly meets fork after fork, so a child of 6–8 must look a few turns ahead to reach the nectar.
What this worksheet teaches
Fluttering through a 10 × 7 grid helps a child of 6–8 keep a plan in mind across many forks, notice dead ends before drawing into them and hold a light, even line. The flower full of nectar is the goal.
Play idea
Color the butterfly's wings symmetrically — the same on both sides.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
What does a butterfly drink from a flower?
Nectar — a sweet juice it sips through a long tongue.
What if my child gets stuck?
Flutter back to the last fork and try another corridor; lightly shade dead ends so the butterfly does not visit them twice.
How long does it take?
Five to ten minutes for most children aged 6–8; if the line gets shaky, rest the hand and let the butterfly land for a moment.
