Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Fold the printed page in half and tuck it into a bag with a pencil or crayon.
- In the waiting room, rest the sheet on a hardback book or on your lap so the line stays steady.
- Invite your child to guide the pencil from the entrance to the exit of the 8×6 grid, one corridor at a time.
What this worksheet teaches
An 8×6 maze has only 48 cells, so a preschooler can finish it in a few minutes and feel successful. Tracing a path between walls develops the small hand movements needed for drawing and later writing, while choosing a direction at each fork is an early lesson in planning. A clear, achievable task also helps an anxious child shift attention away from the waiting.
Play idea
Pretend the pencil is the next patient walking to the doctor's room: each corridor is a hallway, and reaching the exit means it is time to go in. If the wait is long, turn the sheet over and draw a simple maze together on the back.
