How to use it
Show where the maze starts and ends before your child picks up a pencil. Encourage looking ahead at each turn instead of rubbing out dead ends. It is pitched at the expected level for Pre-K, for practice after the skill has been taught.
An answer key comes with it as a separate page that grown-ups download after signing in.
Tip for grown-ups: Trace the route with a finger first, then with a pencil, so dead ends are spotted early.
Done on paper? A grown-up can record it on the child's page in PlayOwl; downloading alone doesn't count as finished.
