About this worksheet
The koala the site is named after, which makes this the one maze in the catalogue with the mascot on it. Past that it is an honest middle-of-the-road level 2 — 51 squares, 30 turns, 13 dead ends, nothing about it extreme in either direction.
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 13 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.
How to use this sheet
Trace the route with a finger first, then go over it with a pencil. Separating the thinking from the pencil work means neither one spoils the other.
