Benefits of Mazes
This set of mazes provides many benefits for your preschool or kindergarten student.
- Mazes improve executive function skills such as planning and brainstorming as your student determines how to solve the maze.
- The easy mazes will also boost fine motor skills as your student traces the lines from start to finish.
- Additionally, mazes require your student to use his or her eyes to find possible solutions. This will help build the visual motor skill of scanning which your student will use in the future for reading and writing.
- This set of animal mazes also introduces your preschool or kindergarten student to simple science concepts. Students will consider animal diets, animal products, and animal homes as they complete the tracing paths.
- Mazes also boost student confidence. When your students complete the puzzle, they can take pride in a job well done.
