Two Small Mazes for Ages 4-5 — Set 350072
Nothing says 'I did it!' like a trophy, so this sheet of two small mazes ends with a craft: once a 4- or 5-year-old reaches both exits, they build their own paper cup to celebrate.

Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Gather the trophy materials first: colored paper, safety scissors, glue and a few stickers.
- Work through the two 8×6 mazes one after the other, with a short stretch or snack in between if needed.
- When both exits are reached, build the trophy together and write the child's name and the date on it.
What this worksheet teaches
Both 8×6 grids are small enough to finish in one sitting, each with 48 cells and a single way out. Children practice looking ahead, avoiding closed corridors and keeping the crayon inside the walls. The craft afterward continues the fine motor work with cutting, folding and sticking.
Play idea
Build the trophy in three parts: roll a strip of paper into a tube for the stand, fold a cone for the cup and glue two curled paper handles on its sides. Stand it beside the finished maze sheet on a shelf as a 'maze champion' display.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Isn't a trophy a bit much for two small mazes?
For children aged 4 to 5, a reward they make themselves helps them connect effort with a good feeling, and the craft is part of the fun.
Why are there two mazes and not one?
Two short mazes make the trophy feel earned, while each 8×6 grid stays easy enough to finish without frustration.
Do I need to print anything for the trophy?
No, only the two mazes are printed; the trophy is made from ordinary paper, glue and stickers.
