How to use this worksheet

Dim the lights, switch on a bedside lamp and do the maze in pajamas.
Encourage your child to trace the 12×9 corridors slowly, pausing for a moment at every corner before drawing on.
When the exit is reached, put the sheet and pencil out of sight, so the maze clearly marks the end of the day.

What this worksheet teaches

With 108 cells and one route from start to finish, the medium grid holds attention without becoming frustrating. Following a narrow path asks the eyes to move carefully along each passage, and the child has to stop and rethink whenever a corridor closes. Keeping the line smooth and unhurried trains pencil control and, at bedtime, a quieter pace.

Play idea

Call it the snail route: the pencil is a snail that can only move slowly and leaves a thin silver trail behind it. When the snail reaches the exit, it curls up in its shell, and that is the signal for your child to curl up under the duvet too.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Won't a puzzle make my child more awake at bedtime?

A single medium maze is short and calm, with no timer or winner, so it usually settles children rather than stirring them up.

What if my child is too sleepy to finish?

Stop wherever the pencil is and continue the next evening; the route will be waiting.

Is there anything to color after solving?

No, there is nothing to color: the page holds just the walls of one maze, which keeps the activity brief.
