Castle Maze Worksheet: Help the Prince Reach the Castle!

How to use this worksheet

Begin by pointing out the Prince at the start of the maze and the magnificent Castle at the end. Ask your child to use their finger to 'walk' the Prince through the maze, exploring different paths and avoiding dead ends, until they find the way to the Castle. Once a successful route is identified, hand them a pencil or crayon and encourage them to carefully trace a line along their chosen path, staying between the maze walls until the Prince reaches his royal destination.
