About this worksheet
The longest route in the series at 91 squares — further than any other maze on the site. Print it for a child who has finished a level 3 sheet and asked for something harder, and expect it to take a sitting of its own rather than the few minutes a level 1 page takes.
The moon is nearly four hundred thousand kilometers away, and the Apollo astronauts took about three days to get there. Mission planners worked out the whole flight path before launch, just as a child can plan this long route with a finger. It pairs well with the level 1 astronaut sheet for a child who liked that one and wants a much bigger journey.
There is exactly one way through: no loops, and no square cut off from the rest.
How to use this sheet
Give this one a whole sitting. Plan the route with a finger in stages, marking progress with small stars, then draw it in one go. Counting down from ten before the pencil starts turns the launch into part of the fun.
