Maze: The Snowman Looks for Its Carrot Nose — Ages 3–4
How to use this worksheet
- Find the snowman at the start of the maze and the carrot at the finish.
- A small finger can slide the snowman along the snowy corridors first; after that, a thick pencil draws the path to the carrot.
- Only a few corridors lead through the snowy 4 × 3 grid, so a three-year-old can find the carrot nose without getting lost.
What this worksheet teaches
Walking the snowman through a small 4 × 3 grid shows a three- or four-year-old how to look before drawing, spot a corridor that ends and keep a thick line between wide walls. Giving the snowman its nose back makes a happy finish.
Play idea
Make a snowman from play dough or paper and give it a carrot nose.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why is this maze so simple?
It is a first maze for three-year-olds — wide corridors and only a few turns.
What if my child gets stuck?
Point to the last turn and ask where the snowman could roll next — in a 4 × 3 maze the open way is only a step away.
How long does it take?
Two or three minutes is typical for a three-year-old; if the line strays, let them follow the snowman's way with a finger and draw it again.
