Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Print the sheet, laminate it or slide it into a clear plastic sleeve, and keep a dry-wipe marker and a cloth with it.
- Your child solves both mazes, then wipes the page clean for the next turn.
- Next time, encourage a slightly smoother line than before; the maze stays the same, so progress is easy to see.
What this worksheet teaches
Repeating the same small maze builds confidence: the route becomes familiar, and attention shifts from finding the way to drawing it neatly. Dry-wipe markers glide easily, which suits developing hands, and wiping mistakes away removes the fear of ruining the page.
Play idea
Make it a wipe-and-go station in a play corner: solve, show a grown-up, wipe, and pass the sheet to a sibling or friend.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Doesn't solving the same maze get boring?
Young children often enjoy repetition; when it becomes easy, print a new small set and laminate that too.
Which marker should we use?
A fine or medium dry-wipe marker works best, since a very thick tip can cover the walls of a small maze.
Is lamination necessary?
No, a plastic sleeve or page protector works just as well and is quicker to set up.
