Picture mazes that turn into an animal when you color the way
Find the way from the dot to the star, then color in every square the path goes through. The path covers the animal exactly — every square of it and nothing else — so the picture only appears for the right way.
The route is the picture.
A hidden picture maze generator, printable as a PDF. Pick big, medium or small squares and generate. One of thirteen animals is hidden in each sheet; the route through the maze visits every square of its silhouette once, and the rest of the maze is built the same way so the walls do not give it away. The answer key shows the picture and names the animal.

Solve
Find the way from the dot to the star. There is a wall between them.
Pencil
The route visits most of the maze. Draw it lightly first.
Color
Color every square on the path. If it is right, an animal appears.
Squares
Smaller squares make a sharper picture and a harder maze. The animal is a surprise, and the answer key names it.
