Ideas for the holidays
- Classroom party: hand out the easy or medium maze as children arrive, and save the hard one as a challenge for early finishers.
- Holiday activity packet: pair the maze with our Christmas word search and Christmas crossword for a packet that covers several ages.
- Waiting for dinner: keep a few printed mazes and crayons on the kids’ table on Christmas Day.
- Every copy different: press New maze before printing, so each child gets a maze of their own and nobody can copy a neighbor.
Questions
Is the Christmas tree maze free?
Yes. Print it as often as you like for home, school or a holiday party. No sign-up.
Is there only one way to the star?
Yes. Every maze has exactly one route from the trunk to the star, with no loops. Our tests check this for each maze.
Can I print a different maze for each child?
Yes. Press New maze before each print and you get a new tree maze every time, each with its own answer page.
Which level is right for a preschooler?
Start with Easy. Its paths are wide enough for a crayon, and the route to the star is short.
