Two Medium Mazes for Ages 6-8 — Set 217654
Hours on a motorway or an intercity train feel shorter with a puzzle that needs nothing but a pencil, and this page gives a child aged 6 to 8 two medium 12×9 mazes to solve from their seat.

Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Slide the sheet into a clear folder with stiff card behind it, so it stays flat and gives a firm surface on the lap.
- Tie a short pencil to the folder with string so it cannot roll under the seats.
- Let your child choose which maze to start with and keep the other for a slower part of the trip, such as roadworks or a long stretch between stations.
What this worksheet teaches
On a 12×9 grid the correct route is rarely obvious at first glance, so the child follows it in short sections, checks where each corridor leads and turns back calmly from a dead end. Drawing on a lap in a moving vehicle is also honest practice in pencil control: small, deliberate strokes stay inside the walls far better than one quick sweep.
Play idea
Keep a journey diary on the back. Next to each maze, your child writes the start time and a place you were passing, such as a station or a bridge, so the finished page becomes a record of the trip.
