Two Small Mazes for Ages 4-5 — Set 730184
The page itself has no pictures, so before solving either small 8×6 maze, a four- or five-year-old draws their own tiny traveler at the entrance: a cat, a car or a dot with legs.

Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Ask your child who should walk through the first maze and help them draw it small, no bigger than a fingernail, beside the entrance.
- Then draw the path from the traveler to the exit, as if showing it the way home.
- For the second maze, let your child pick a new traveler.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing a small figure first practices controlled, small hand movements, and it gives the maze a purpose a young child understands: helping someone get out. On a 48-cell grid, the route is short enough for a preschooler to finish before their interest fades. Choosing and drawing a character also encourages imagination and simple storytelling.
Play idea
At the exit of each maze, your child draws what the traveler finds, for example a house, a snack or a friend waiting. Then they tell you the whole journey from the start to the reward in a few sentences.
