Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Choose a regular time, such as after breakfast, and keep it the same each day to build a routine.
- Sit at a table with good posture, feet on the floor, and the sheet straight in front of your child.
- Solve the maze, then put the pencil away and the sheet in a folder, just as they will at school.
What this worksheet teaches
School readiness is not only about letters and numbers; it also includes following a short task to the end, holding a pencil well and working at a table. A 48-cell maze practices all of these at once in a few minutes. Looking for the correct path also develops early planning and visual attention.
Play idea
Play 'school at home': your child packs a small bag with a pencil case and the maze, 'arrives' at the kitchen table, solves the maze and then 'goes home' for a break. The pretend routine makes the real first day feel more familiar.
