Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Make a window card by cutting a small square hole in a piece of paper, and slide it along the maze so only the current section is visible.
- Place a parking-spot sticky note beside the page: if a thought pops up, your child makes a quick mark on it and returns to the maze.
- Let your child stand at a counter or sit on a wobble cushion if keeping still is hard; focus matters more than posture.
What this worksheet teaches
Mazes give constant small rewards, a corridor completed or a junction passed, which helps children whose attention needs frequent feedback. The window card narrows what the eyes have to process, and parking a distracting thought teaches a simple way back to the task. The medium grids still stretch planning and pencil control.
Play idea
Play focus checkpoints: each time your child reaches a junction without looking up from the page, they may draw a small star beside it. Five stars earn a short break before the second maze.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
What does the window card do?
It hides most of the page, so the eyes deal with only a small patch of corridors at a time and are less tempted to wander.
Should I remove the window card eventually?
Yes, once your child can solve a medium maze with it, try the second maze without it and see how focus holds up.
Should I talk to someone if focus is a constant struggle?
Yes, a teacher or specialist can advise if attention worries you; mazes are simply a friendly practice tool alongside that.
