Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Pick a team name and write it above the maze before starting.
- Round one: your child is the pointer and you are the drawer, and you may only draw where their finger shows the way.
- Round two, on a second printout: swap jobs, so your child draws while you point, now and then pointing the wrong way on purpose for them to catch.
What this worksheet teaches
Being the one who points the way gives a preschooler the lead and shows that their thinking matters. With only 48 cells and a handful of junctions, the small grid keeps the teamwork short and successful. Watching an adult stop, look and choose also models calm problem solving, while drawing in round two practices crayon control.
Play idea
Try two hands, one crayon. For a final run on a fresh copy, hold one chunky crayon together, with your hand resting lightly over your child's. Your child steers and you follow, and it soon becomes clear who is really leading the team.
