Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Draw the character inside the entrance square itself, keeping it small enough to fit between the walls.
- Instead of a solid line, mark the character's journey with small footprints or dots, one or two in each square.
- When the character hits a dead end, add a tiny speech bubble saying what it thinks, then continue the right way.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing a character that fits a single square is a fine-motor challenge in its own right, and a dotted footprint trail demands even more control than a solid line. Along the 108-square grid, children still plan ahead, reject false branches and keep the traveler inside the corridors.
Play idea
Hold a character parade: family members each draw a traveler on their own copy of a maze, and at the end everyone introduces their character and says how many dead ends it visited.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why draw the character so small?
Fitting a drawing inside one square is excellent practice in precise, controlled pencil movements.
Is a footprint trail harder than a line?
Yes, a little; each dot is a small stop-and-start movement, which builds control, but a line is fine for children who find dots tiring.
The page has no pictures. Is that intentional?
Yes, the maze is plain, so your child's own character is the only one on the page.
