Help the kitten find the yarn

The classic start-and-finish maze: a hero waiting in one corner, the thing it wants in the other, and the whole maze between them.

How it works
Ages3+TypeMazes

From the hero's corner to the prize's.

A help-the-animal maze generator, printable as a PDF. Pick a pair — kitten and yarn, puppy and bone, bunny and carrot, bee and flower, mouse and cheese, monkey and bananas, squirrel and acorn, bear and honey, bird and nest, frog and lily pad, caterpillar and leaf, penguin and fish — or let every sheet pick one. The hero sits in a corner cut out of the top of the maze and its prize in a corner cut out of the bottom; the way in and the way out open onto them, so the route crosses the whole maze. Wide paths for preschool, medium, or narrow ones for older kids, with an answer key.
