How to use these worksheets
- Start with an easy maze even if your child is older. A quick win makes them want the next one.
- Let them trace the path with a finger first. Pencil comes second.
- Dead ends are part of the game. Show them how to go back to the last turn and try another way.
- Move up a level only when they finish a maze without crossing a wall.
- The hard mazes can take 10 minutes or more. They are great for a quiet afternoon or a long car journey.
Common problems, and what helps
Pressing too hard
Heavy pressure tires the hand quickly. A crayon or a thick pencil helps small hands relax.
Crossing the walls
Slow down. Ask your child to stop at every corner and look before turning.
Getting frustrated
Give a hint by marking the next turn with a dot, not by solving it for them.

Are mazes good for kids?
Yes. Mazes build pencil control, hand-eye coordination, patience and planning, all of which help with writing later.
At what age can a child do a maze?
Most children can do simple wide mazes from age 3 or 4. The easy mazes here suit LKG, the medium ones UKG, and the hard ones class 1.
Do I need a colour printer?
No. The mazes print clearly in black and white on A4 paper.
