Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Have colored paper, safety scissors and a glue stick ready before starting the maze.
- Let your child solve the maze on their own, drawing one clear line from the entrance to the exit.
- Once it is done, cut a simple cup shape from the colored paper, glue it onto card and write the set number and date on it.
What this worksheet teaches
A medium maze asks children to plan a route, scan for dead ends and keep a steady line, and the trophy adds a lesson in finishing what you start. Cutting and gluing bring in extra fine motor practice, rounding off the session with a hands-on craft.
Play idea
Hold a small award ceremony: your child stands on a podium made from a cushion, you read out the name of the maze set, and the paper trophy is presented with a round of applause.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Is making a trophy for one maze too much?
For children aged 6 to 8, a small craft reward makes finishing memorable and encourages them to try longer puzzles next time.
How hard is a 12×9 maze for this age?
It is the medium size in the series, with enough turns to feel like an achievement but still within reach of a 6-year-old.
Should the trophy go on the maze sheet?
Keep it separate so the solved route stays visible, then display both side by side.
