What this worksheet teaches
Short 8×6 mazes suit the attention span of preschoolers, giving a clear goal they can reach in minutes. They practice looking before drawing, choosing a direction at each fork and guiding a crayon through narrow gaps, a quiet way to build patience in a noisy place.
Play idea
Play waiter: the entrance is the kitchen and the exit is your table. Your child guides an imaginary plate through the maze so the food arrives safely and on time.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Will crayons work on this sheet at a table?
Yes, the corridors of the 8×6 mazes are roomy enough for chunky crayons, which are also less likely to roll off the table.
Why two mazes on one page?
Two short puzzles cover two waits: one before the main course and one before dessert or the bill.
What if my child finishes too fast?
Ask them to solve each maze again with a finger while telling you which way the plate turns.
