Maze: The Mail Carrier Delivers a Letter — Ages 5–6
How to use this worksheet
- Find the mail carrier at the start of the maze and the little house at the finish.
- Walk the delivery route with a finger first, stopping at each corner, then draw it in pencil to the house with the mailbox.
- Like a real town, this 6 × 4 maze has a few dead-end streets, so a five-year-old learns to check before delivering.
What this worksheet teaches
Delivering the letter through a 6 × 4 grid helps a five- or six-year-old plan a short route, notice a dead-end street early and keep the pencil inside the corridors. Getting the mail to the right house gives the task a goal.
Play idea
Write or draw a letter to someone you love and put it in an envelope.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How does the mail carrier know where to go?
From the address on the envelope — the street and number guide him like a maze.
What if my child gets stuck?
Walk the mail carrier back to the last corner and try the street that is still open — like reading the address again.
How long does it take?
About five minutes for most five-year-olds; if the letter takes a wrong turn, trace the route with a finger before drawing the rest.
