Two Large Mazes for Ages 8-10 — Set 132750

Maze: large (ages 8+)
How to use this worksheet
- Show the sheet and the trophy materials, such as paper, tape and pens, before starting, so the goal is visible.
- Your child solves the first maze and then the second, without help unless they ask for it.
- When both routes are drawn, they build and decorate the trophy and write the set number on its base.
What this worksheet teaches
Each board has 192 cells, and completing two in a row calls for persistence and steady focus. Planning ahead at junctions and eliminating dead ends develop logical thinking, while long lines through narrow corridors demand precise pencil control. Building the trophy afterward adds a hands-on task that marks the finish line clearly.
Play idea
Make a cone trophy: roll a sheet of paper into a cone, tape it, and glue a paper circle on top as the cup. Your child writes Maze Master and the date on it and puts it on a shelf.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Is a trophy necessary?
Not necessary, but a visible reward helps children see a longer task like two large mazes through to the end.
How long do two 16×12 mazes take?
Times vary widely; allow a relaxed session and a short break between the boards if needed.
Can siblings share one sheet?
Each child should have their own copy, because seeing a finished route gives the answer away.
