Two Small Mazes for Ages 4-5 — Set 637361
Menus take time and food takes longer, so this sheet folds to show one small 8×6 maze while you order and saves the second as a surprise for when a 4- or 5-year-old gets restless again.

Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Fold the page so only the top maze is visible and slip it into your bag with two crayons.
- Bring out the first maze as soon as you sit down, while the grown-ups read the menu.
- Unfold the hidden second maze when the wait starts to feel long, for example between the starter and the main course.
What this worksheet teaches
The small 8×6 grid is quick enough to finish before a child loses interest, yet it still asks them to find an entrance and an exit and keep a line between the walls. Saving the second maze teaches a little waiting in itself, and working in a small space at a table practices controlled crayon movements.
Play idea
Order the second course. When the first maze is solved, your child politely orders the second one from you, as if you were the waiter: 'One maze, please!' You unfold it with a flourish and serve it on a napkin, which is good practice for polite requests too.
