What this worksheet teaches
A medium maze with 108 cells asks children to plan ahead, persist through dead ends and control a pencil in narrow corridors. Linking completion to a tangible reward teaches goal setting: the child sees a task from beginning to end and celebrates finishing it. Cutting and decorating the trophy adds scissor practice, another fine motor skill.
Play idea
Hold a small award ceremony: announce the winner, hum a short fanfare and let your child stand on a 'podium' made from a cushion while holding the paper trophy.
