A child who solves a hard maze or sudoku learns that sticking with a problem pays off. Mazes Level 1 is a 26-page printable pack for preschoolers ages 4 to 5.

What is inside

The pack has 20 mazes. Page titles include “Help the fish swim home”, “Help the cat find the yarn”, “Help the jeepney reach the fiesta”, “Help the rocket reach the moon” and “Help Kiko get to school”. An answer key at the back makes checking quick. Instructions are written in English with a Filipino line underneath, so kids and parents can use whichever language is easier.

Covers and headers are in full color, but every activity area is black line art on white, so the pages print cleanly in grayscale and do not waste ink.

Skills it builds

Working through the pages practices problem solving and pencil control. Each page takes about 10 to 15 minutes, which suits the attention span of preschoolers ages 4 to 5.

How to use it

  • Use a pencil so wrong turns can be erased.
  • Give a hint only after a real attempt; the struggle is part of the value.
  • Talk through a solved puzzle together: which step made it click?
  • Read the instruction line aloud; most pages need only one short sentence.

Ideas beyond the page

Keep a 'puzzle of the day' on the dining table. Ask your child to design a maze or riddle for you to solve.

Who it is for

Preschoolers are ready for simple instructions and lots of pictures, which is how every page is built. At 26 pages, this is an activity pack with enough variety for a few weeks of regular practice. Parents can use it for homeschool or after-school practice, and teachers can print it for one classroom.

Printing tips

The file is an A4 PDF. Choose “Fit to page” and print one-sided; black-and-white is fine for the activity pages. At a computer shop, bring the PDF on your phone or a USB drive. You can print the whole pack or only the pages you need, as many times as you like for your own children or your own classroom.
