Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Print the sheet twice and write each child's name at the top.
- Tape both copies to the table side by side, which stops the paper sliding when small hands hurry.
- Agree on one rule: a line that goes through a wall returns to the last corner.
- Finish by checking both routes together with a finger.
What this worksheet teaches
The small grid has 48 cells and only a few junctions, so a preschooler can find the route quickly, which keeps a race short and fair. Racing brings a real lesson for this age: going fast is fun, but the line still has to stay between the walls. Children need the same balance later when they trace their first letters.
Play idea
Play musical mazes. Put on a song and let both racers draw only while the music plays; when you pause it, every crayon must freeze. Anyone still moving goes back one corner. The race becomes as much about listening and stopping as about speed.
