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.
Twelve cells across brings the corridors down to about one and a third centimeters. At that width the pencil work is genuinely part of the difficulty, so these sheets suit a child who has already stopped needing to rest their whole hand on the page to draw a straight line.
The way through runs 91 squares and turns 57 times, with 16 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.
