Help the Bird Find the Nest — Level 2

The goal here is home rather than food, which reads differently to a child — the bird is not hungry, it is lost. Fourteen dead ends on a 51-square route makes this one of the busier level 2 sheets, so expect some backing out along the way.

Ten cells across puts the corridors a little over one and a half centimeters wide. Still wide enough for a pencil held in a whole-hand grip, but narrow enough that staying inside the lines is now part of the task rather than a given.

The way through runs 51 squares and turns 30 times, with 14 dead ends branching off it. The grid is carved so that exactly one route connects the start to the finish: no loops, no second way round, and no corner walled off from the rest. Every square can be reached, and a child who follows the route carefully will always get there.
