What "easy" means on this page

Every maze here is a 10 by 13 grid, which is the smallest this site prints. On an A4 sheet that gives each corridor roughly 13mm of width, wide enough for a chunky pencil or a felt tip without the walls closing in. The route is short, usually between 30 and 60 steps, and there are far fewer dead ends than on the larger sheets.

That combination is deliberate. A maze that is too dense for a small child does not teach patience, it just produces a scribble and a lost interest.

Who these are for

Roughly ages three to six, or any child still working on pencil control. The skill a maze at this size actually trains is not problem solving, it is the hand: staying inside a boundary, planning a short distance ahead, and stopping at a wall instead of drawing through it. Those are the same motions that handwriting needs later.

They also work well for anyone who wants a two minute puzzle rather than a project, and for settings where the sheet has to be finished in one sitting: waiting rooms, restaurants, the back of a car.

If they are too easy

Move up one size rather than jumping to the top. The next step is the 17 by 22 medium grid on the main maze page, which roughly triples the number of cells but keeps the corridors comfortable. Going straight to the 26 by 34 hard sheets from here is usually a mistake and the reason a child decides they do not like mazes.

They still have exactly one route

Easy does not mean loose. Every maze on this site, including these, is generated as a perfect maze: exactly one path connects the entrance on the left to the exit on the right, with no loops and no alternative way through. That matters most at this size, because a young child who finds a second route learns the wrong lesson about how mazes work.

Each card lists the exact step count and dead end count for that board, both measured rather than estimated.

Printing

Set scaling to 100 percent or "actual size" rather than "fit to page". Fit to page shrinks the sheet slightly, which on a small grid costs you the corridor width that makes these usable in the first place. The pages carry a 15mm margin already, so they print on A4 and on US Letter without anything being cut off.

Black and white, draft quality, is all these need. If you are printing for a group, the answer sheet is a separate file so you can leave it out of the pile.

Making your own

The Maze Maker generates the same easy size on demand, as many as you want, with no limit and no watermark. Each one keeps a puzzle number so you can come back to a particular maze later.

How to use these sheets

Pick a sheet and press Print. The file is a PDF sized for A4 and Letter paper.
Print it in black and white at normal quality. None of these sheets need colour ink except the colour by number pages.
Keep the answer page for yourself, or print it too if you want to check the work later.
