Maze: The Little Monkey Finds the Bananas — Ages 3–4
How to use this worksheet
- Find the little monkey at the start of the maze and the bunch of bananas at the finish.
- Swing a finger through the jungle to the bananas first, then draw the little monkey's way in pencil.
- A few broad jungle paths and simple turns keep this monkey maze within reach of a three-year-old.
What this worksheet teaches
Swinging the monkey through a 4 × 3 grid shows a three- or four-year-old how to look ahead a little, spot a corridor that stops and draw a thick, steady line. The bunch of bananas is a tasty goal.
Play idea
Count the bananas in the bunch and draw one more so the monkey has one to share.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Can a three-year-old manage this maze?
Yes — it has just a few wide corridors. A finger is enough at first; add the pencil later.
What if my child gets stuck?
Swing back to the last turn and ask where the bananas are — in a maze this small the open way is easy to see.
How long does it take?
Two or three minutes for a typical three-year-old; count the bananas together as a reward when the monkey arrives.
