How to use this worksheet

Print both pages and hand over only the first; the answer page with the red route stays with you.
The route leaves the arrow with one step right and two down, then weaves toward the bottom-left corner of the maze.
From that corner it works its way across and finally comes down and right into the circle.
When your child says "done", compare with the answer page square by square.

What this worksheet teaches

With 14 dead ends, this maze has more blind corridors than our other medium mazes, so wrong turns are almost guaranteed. That is the point: children practice noticing a dead end early, backing up and choosing again without losing heart. The correct route passes through 52 of the 108 squares and has 4 places where the path splits. The answer page adds self-correction: instead of asking "is it right?", your child compares, finds a difference and fixes it.

Play idea

Hide the answer page in the room. When the maze is solved, give clues to find it, such as "it is under something soft", then check the route together.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

How does the answer page help?

It shows the same maze with the correct route as a red line, so your child can check alone and see exactly where a wrong turn happened.

Why are there so many dead ends?

This layout simply has 14 corridors that end in a wall. That gives plenty of practice in backing up, while the route itself is of medium length.

What if the drawn route matches only halfway?

Find the first square where the two lines separate and restart from there. That is usually where a split was misread.
