Two Medium Mazes for Ages 6-8 — Set 982288
Doctor's waiting rooms rarely run on time, so slip this sheet with two medium 12×9 mazes into your bag for a 6- to 8-year-old who would otherwise count ceiling tiles.

Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Fold the page in half so only one maze shows at a time; it then fits a coat pocket or an appointment folder.
- Bring a short pencil with a cap, so nothing sharp rolls under the chairs.
- Start the first maze when you sit down and keep the second for the wait afterward, for example at the pharmacy.
What this worksheet teaches
Each board holds 108 cells, enough to absorb a child for several minutes in a noisy room. Working toward one correct path from entrance to exit gives a restless mind something concrete to plan, and drawing on a lap or a small clipboard is useful practice in controlling a pencil on an unsteady surface. Scanning the corridors also pushes worries about the appointment into the background.
Play idea
Play a maze relay with the receptionist's calls: each time a name that is not yours is called, your child draws on to the next junction and stops. See whether the maze or the waiting ends first.
