Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Print a copy for each day of the week and number them in a corner.
- Instead of a stopwatch, count out loud together at a slow, steady pace, or use a one-minute sand timer, which makes time visible to a preschooler.
- Write the count on the sheet in big digits; tomorrow's goal is a smaller number with no line through a wall.
What this worksheet teaches
On an 8×6 grid of 48 cells, the path is short enough to remember from one day to the next, so your child feels how practice makes things quicker. Counting the time adds early number sense, with the fun twist that a smaller number wins. The wall rule keeps the crayon controlled instead of wild, and a slower day that stays neat still counts as a good try.
Play idea
Play teddy's record. Yesterday's number goes on a card held by a favorite soft toy. Today your child races teddy, and if they beat the record, teddy hands the card over and gets a new one to hold until tomorrow.
