Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Before starting, show your child a sheet of colored paper, scissors and tape: the trophy materials waiting for the finish.
- Let your child solve the maze from the entrance to the exit at their own pace.
- When the path is complete, help them roll a paper cone for the cup, tape it onto a folded base and write the set number 666832 on it.
What this worksheet teaches
A medium grid of 108 cells takes real effort to solve, so the trophy rewards persistence rather than speed. The maze practices planning and visual scanning, and the trophy adds cutting, folding and taping for fine motor skills. Making their own prize also teaches children to value their own achievement.
Play idea
Hold a small award ceremony: another family member announces the winner of the 'Grand Maze Cup', and your child explains how they found the way. Put the trophy on a shelf next to the finished maze.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why a homemade trophy instead of a sticker?
Making it takes time and attention, so the reward feels earned and keeps the celebration going a little longer.
What if my child does not finish the maze?
The trophy can wait; mark the point reached and continue later, because the goal is completing the path.
What size is this maze?
It is a single medium maze on a 12×9 grid, with one correct path from the entrance to the exit.
