Free printable mazes for kids
Twenty-two printable mazes, sorted by age. Each has one way in, one finish and exactly one correct path, so a child can never end up in a maze with no solution.
For ages 3–4 there are ten mazes with paths 22–32 mm wide and a short way through, wide enough for a thick crayon. For ages 4–5 there are more dead ends and the paths narrow to 16–19 mm. For ages 5–6 the grid is 10×10 or 11×11, the paths are 12–13 mm wide and three of the sheets add a task: collect something on the way.
For ages 6–8 there are four big mazes: a 12×12 and 13×13 grid, paths 10.5–11.3 mm wide and a way through of more than a hundred squares. Every sheet carries a short tip for parents. Start one age band below your child's age and let them trace the way with a finger first.

Questions parents ask
What age are mazes good for?
Simple mazes with wide paths work from about age 3, as long as the child traces the way with a finger first. A smaller grid and a wider path matter more than the age on the label: if the child struggles, go one age band down.
Which maze is the easiest?
The umbrella maze or the dog and the ball: a 4×3 grid, paths 32 mm wide and a way through of six squares with a single turn. Age three is enough.
Do you have hard mazes for older kids?
Yes, four of them for ages 6–8. A 12×12 or 13×13 grid, paths 10.5–11.3 mm wide, over a hundred squares to walk through and three things to collect on the way. Preschoolers will not finish them alone; a first grader will.
What if my child crosses a line?
Nothing dramatic. Say “there's a fence here” and try another way. The aim is not a perfect line but learning to stop, look and choose a path.
How can we reuse a maze?
Slip the sheet into a clear plastic sleeve and use a dry-erase marker, or go through it with a finger first, then a pencil, then a crayon in another colour.
Do the mazes come with solutions?
Each maze has exactly one path from the start to the finish. There is no separate answer sheet; an adult can see the way at a glance.
