Small Maze for Ages 4-5 — Set 801455
Somewhere between the second snack and the next station, a 4- or 5-year-old needs something calm to do; one small 8×6 maze on its own page fits neatly on a lap tray.

Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Rest the page on a clipboard or a sturdy notebook so it stays flat when the car or train sways.
- First your child runs a fingertip from the entrance toward the exit while you hold the page still.
- Then a short, chunky crayon finishes the line; it rolls less than a pencil and is easier to grip on bumps.
- Stop if looking down makes your child queasy and try again at the next stop.
What this worksheet teaches
On an 8×6 grid the route is brief enough to hold in a young mind, yet a few branches still end in walls. Picking a turn and spotting a closed corridor is early planning, and following it by eye before the hand moves is visual scanning. Keeping a line between walls in a moving vehicle tests pencil control, so praise the wobbles.
Play idea
Mirror the trip: call the entrance your front door and the exit today's destination, grandma's house or the seaside. At each station or big landmark your child draws one more stretch, so the line grows with the real journey.
