Benefits of the Mazes

This set of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie Mazes provides many benefits for your preschool or kindergarten student.

Mazes improve executive function skills such as planning and brainstorming as your student finds the pattern and determines how to solve the maze.
The shape mazes will also boost fine motor skills as your student colors or traces through the path of the maze.
Additionally, mazes require your student to use 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.
Mazes also boost student confidence. When a student completes the puzzle, she can take pride in a job well done.
