Maze: The Kitten Looks for Its Bowl of Milk — Ages 4–5
How to use this maze
- Print the page and place it on a table in front of your child.
- Show the kitten on the left and the bowl of milk on the right, and ask where the kitten wants to go.
- Let your child trace the path with a finger first, then draw it with a pencil or crayon.
- If they reach a dead end, go back to the last turn together and try another corridor.
What this maze practices
This small 5 × 4 grid maze is made for four- and five-year-olds. Children practice planning a route before drawing, looking ahead to spot dead ends, and holding a pencil steadily along a narrow corridor. The story gives the task a clear goal, which helps younger children stay focused until the end.
Play idea
When the kitten reaches the bowl, color the kitchen scene together and make up the rest of the story: what did Mruczek do after breakfast?
