Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Gather the trophy parts before starting: a cardboard tube, a paper cup and a sheet of kitchen foil.
- After the first maze, your child wraps the tube in foil to make the base.
- After the second maze, the cup goes on top, wrapped in foil as well, and the trophy is complete.
What this worksheet teaches
Linking each finished maze to one step of a craft shows a preschooler that a bigger goal is reached in parts. The small grids are short enough to finish while motivation is high, and they still practice looking for the open way, avoiding dead ends and holding a crayon steady. The craft adds wrapping, folding and sticking, which also build hand strength. Seeing the trophy grow after each maze helps a young child understand the idea of a goal with steps.
Play idea
Tie on trophy labels. Cut small paper tags and tie one to the trophy for every future maze your child finishes, writing the date on each. Over the weeks the trophy collects a bundle of labels, a visible record of all the puzzles they have solved.
