Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Laminate the sheet or put it in a clear punched pocket, then store it in a zip bag with a dry-wipe marker and an old sock as the eraser.
- Your child solves both mazes, shows a grown-up, then wipes the page with the sock.
- Keep the bag in the car or a day bag as a ready-made activity for any wait.
What this worksheet teaches
Because mistakes vanish with one wipe, young children feel free to experiment, which lowers the fear of getting it wrong. Solving the same two routes again and again builds confidence, and dry-wipe markers need only light pressure, which is comfortable for hands still developing control.
Play idea
Play rainbow rounds: every time the page is wiped clean, your child switches to the next color of marker, red, then orange, then yellow, until the rainbow is complete.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How long does a laminated sheet last?
With gentle use it lasts for months; wipe it soon after each round, since old marker lines are harder to remove.
What is the benefit of two mazes on a reusable sheet?
Your child can alternate between them, or two children can share the sheet, one maze each, with a marker of their own.
Do dry-wipe markers suit small hands?
Yes, they glide with little effort, and the short corridors of the 8×6 grids suit this age.
