Maze: The Little Alien Looks for Its Spaceship — Ages 3–4
How to use this worksheet
- Find the little alien at the start of the maze and the flying saucer at the finish.
- Beam the little alien along with a fingertip first, then draw its path to the flying saucer in pencil, keeping off the walls.
- With just twelve roomy cells in a 4 × 3 grid, a three-year-old can steer the alien to its saucer without getting lost.
What this worksheet teaches
Floating the alien through a 4 × 3 grid lets a three- or four-year-old try planning in a tiny space: look ahead, see a closed corridor and keep the pencil between wide walls. The flying saucer waiting at the exit gives a clear goal.
Play idea
Decide which planet the alien is from and draw its home.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Is this a good first maze?
Yes — a small 4 × 3 grid with wide corridors is made for three-year-olds.
What if my child gets stuck?
Float back to the last turn and ask which corridor leads to the saucer — with so few paths, your child will spot it.
How long does it take?
Two to three minutes for most three-year-olds; count down “3, 2, 1, lift-off!” when the alien reaches the saucer.
