Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Make the passport from a folded index card, with a self-portrait drawn inside the front cover like a real passport photo.
- Your child then finds the way through the maze with a crayon, entrance to exit.
- Take the finished page to the passport officer, a parent at a desk, who checks the route and adds a stamp or sticker to the next empty page.
What this worksheet teaches
Repeated short mazes build skill in small steps: following corridors with the eyes, stopping at walls, choosing a new direction and guiding a crayon neatly. The passport makes progress visible, so a young child can see that practice adds up, one stamp at a time.
Play idea
The passport officer asks two quick questions before stamping, just like at a real border: "Where did you start?" and "Where did you finish?" Your child answers by pointing to the entrance and the exit.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
What can we use if we have no rubber stamp?
A sticker, a thumbprint in washable paint or a star drawn in felt-tip all make good stamps.
How many pages should the passport have?
Six to ten pages is a nice size for ages 4-5; when it is full, celebrate and start passport number two.
Should brothers and sisters each have a passport?
Yes, give every child their own, so each of them can watch a personal collection grow.
