Naps are precious in a house with a baby, so this sheet of two 12×9 mazes is a silent mission for the big brother or sister aged six to eight.

Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Prepare a nap-time basket in advance: this page, a soft pencil, a clipboard and a book for afterward.
- Choose a spot far from the bedroom door, such as the kitchen table or a reading nook.
- Solve one maze in each half of the nap, with a quiet snack or a few pages of the book in between.
What this worksheet teaches
Working alone and quietly for a stretch is a skill in itself, and two medium grids give a child something worthwhile to focus on. Each maze requires scanning several branches, remembering which corridors have been tried and drawing within narrow lanes, and doing it independently builds a sense of responsibility.
Play idea
Hold a silent conversation: if your child wants to tell you something during the nap, they write or draw it on the back of the sheet instead of talking, and you reply in writing too.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How can I make nap time feel fair for the older child?
Call it their special quiet time, with activities saved just for it, so the nap brings a treat rather than a list of rules.
What if both mazes are done before the baby wakes?
Move on to the book in the basket, or let your child draw their own maze on the back for you to solve later.
Is a 12×9 maze manageable without help at six?
Usually; each maze has a single correct path, and most six-year-olds work through it with a little persistence.
