Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Show the trophy materials before starting, for example a paper cup, a strip of card and some stickers, so the goal is clear.
- Solve the first maze, then take a short break before the second one.
- Once both routes reach their exits, build the trophy together and write the set number on it.
What this worksheet teaches
Two short mazes form a small goal with a clear finish, showing young children that effort leads somewhere. Along the way they practice simple route planning, scanning for the open corridor and a steady crayon line, and the craft that follows adds cutting and gluing practice.
Play idea
Turn a paper cup upside down and glue a card star on top to make the trophy. Your child adds a sticker for each maze solved and displays it next to the finished sheet.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Is a trophy too big a reward for two small mazes?
For a four-year-old, completing two puzzles is a real achievement, and making the trophy is an enjoyable activity in itself.
Can we skip the second maze if my child is tired?
Yes, finish it the next day and hand out the trophy then, since the aim is enjoyment.
Are these mazes easy enough for age four?
The 8 by 6 grids are the smallest in the series, and each leads to the exit along one clear route.
