Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Solve the maze first; the trophy materials stay out of sight until the exit is reached.
- Make the trophy from a paper cup turned upside down, a circle of card on top and two paper handles glued to the sides.
- Write the set number and the date on the base, so every trophy shows which maze it was won for.
What this worksheet teaches
The 12×9 maze asks for planning, scanning and a steady line, and waiting to start the craft until it is finished practices delayed reward. Building the trophy adds cutting, folding and gluing, which train the hands in a different way from drawing.
Play idea
Open a trophy shelf. Clear a spot on a bookshelf or windowsill where each maze trophy stands next to the solved sheet. Over time, your child can decorate new trophies differently, a star for a fast solve or a spiral for a tricky one.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Does the sheet include a trophy template?
No template is printed; the trophy is made from simple things at home, such as a paper cup and card.
Is a 12×9 maze hard enough to deserve a trophy?
For most 6- to 8-year-olds, yes; the medium grid has real dead ends, so finishing it is a genuine achievement.
Should every maze earn a trophy?
Not necessarily; many families keep trophies for new sizes or personal bests so they stay special.
