Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Print the sheet in advance and keep it with a pencil in a drawer at grandma's or grandpa's house for visits.
- In the first 8×6 maze, the grandparent guides with gentle questions while the child draws.
- In the second, the child becomes the teacher and explains the way to the grandparent.
What this worksheet teaches
Small mazes suit short, relaxed sessions, and the simple rule that walls cannot be crossed is easy to explain across generations. The child practices finding the correct path, looking ahead and moving a crayon carefully between the lines. Explaining the route to a grandparent in the second maze adds language and confidence, because children love being the expert.
Play idea
Before the second maze, the grandparent tells a short story from their own childhood about getting lost or finding the way. Then the child solves the maze as if helping young grandma or grandpa get home.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
My parents are not used to worksheets; is this easy to explain?
Yes, the only rule is to draw a line from the entrance to the exit without crossing any wall.
Why two mazes on one page?
It gives each person a turn in the lead role, the grandparent in the first maze and the child in the second.
What if my child finds the 8×6 grid too hard at age 4?
Help by pointing to the first open corridor; the mazes are designed for ages 4 to 5, and each has only one correct path.
