Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Build a rainy-day challenge station on the kitchen table: the maze, two pencils and an eraser.
- Let your child work without help for the first few minutes, rubbing out wrong turns rather than scribbling over them.
- Once the exit is reached, ask them to go over the finished path in a bright pencil so the winning route stands out.
What this worksheet teaches
The medium grid mixes long straight corridors with twisty sections and several false leads. Children practice visual scanning across the whole page, keeping track of which branches they have already tested and correcting mistakes calmly, useful self-management on a day with extra energy and nowhere to spend it.
Play idea
Tell the story of a raindrop that must travel from the cloud at the entrance to the puddle at the exit. Every dead end is a leaf that catches it, so it has to roll back and try another way.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How difficult is this medium maze?
A 12×9 grid is the middle level: harder than the small preschool maze but shorter than the 16×12 version for ages 8-10.
What can we do after solving it?
Try drawing your own tiny maze on squared paper, then swap it with a family member to solve.
Is the page printer-friendly?
It is plain black lines on white, without pictures or shaded areas, so it prints fast on any home printer.
