Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Print the page on slightly thicker paper if you can, as it will travel in a bag for days.
- Put it in the travel pack with one short, chunky crayon and a clip to hold the sheet to a tray table or a clipboard.
- Offer it at a moment when your child needs to sit still, such as a delayed departure or the first evening in a new room.
What this worksheet teaches
A small maze is quick to finish and predictable, which is comforting in unfamiliar places. Your preschooler still has to spot the open corridors, avoid the dead ends and keep the crayon between the walls, so travel days include a little of the thinking and hand practice from home. Finishing a familiar kind of puzzle far from home also gives a small sense of control.
Play idea
Make a holiday scrapbook page. Once solved, glue the maze into a scrapbook next to a ticket, a postcard or a pressed leaf from the place you visited, and write where it was solved, such as 'on the ferry'. The page becomes a small memory of the trip.
