Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Build a blanket den and put a torch, a pencil and a clipboard inside it.
- Solve the maze in the den by torchlight, which makes an ordinary puzzle feel like an expedition.
- Keep an eraser nearby so wrong turns can vanish and the final route looks clean enough for the fridge door.
What this worksheet teaches
On a 108-square grid, children have to remember which corridors they have already tried and scan the page for a better option. It is focused, sitting-still thinking on a day when energy has nowhere to go, and it trains visual memory, patience and a controlled pencil line.
Play idea
Play weather forecaster: before starting, your child predicts how many minutes the maze will take and writes the guess on the back. If the forecast is right to within one minute, they choose the next rainy-day game.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Is one medium maze enough for a rainy afternoon?
No single sheet fills an afternoon, but it is a focused block you can mix with building, reading and baking.
My child finds 12×9 mazes easy. What next?
Try the large 16×12 mazes in the collection, which have longer routes and more dead ends.
Does the page need color ink?
No, it is a black-and-white line maze, so it prints quickly even on a basic home printer.
