About this worksheet

A caterpillar moves one segment at a time, which is exactly how this maze wants to be solved — square by square rather than in glances across the page. At 49 squares it is one of the shorter routes at this level, so it suits a first attempt at a 10 by 10 grid.

A caterpillar eats and eats, then wraps itself in a chrysalis or cocoon and comes out as a butterfly or moth, one of the biggest changes any animal makes. Children who know picture books about a hungry caterpillar will enjoy retelling the story here. The route is on the short side for this grid, which makes it a sensible first 10 by 10.

There is exactly one way through: no loops, and no square cut off from the rest.

How to use this sheet

Move like a caterpillar: one square at a time, with no jumping ahead. That slow pace suits a child meeting the narrower corridors for the first time. Afterwards, ask your child to tell the story of what the caterpillar turns into.
