What it helps kids practice

A maze looks like a game, but there is plenty of thinking happening between IN and OUT.

  • Looking ahead.Pausing before a turn and checking where a path might lead.
  • Problem-solving.Finding a dead end, backing up and trying something different.
  • Visual tracking and hand-eye coordination.Following paths with the eyes while guiding a pencil through the maze.
  • Patience and persistence.Because sometimes the first route is not the right one, and that is part of the fun.

Ready, set… solve!

These mazes are designed to be simple to print, grab and start, with no setup required.

  • Choose your paper size.Download the US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) or A4 version so the maze fits your home printer properly.
