150 Unique Hand Drawn Maze Templates Categorized Into 5 Different Types
Type 1 Maze: Each maze in this category has one entry point and one exit point, but there are multiple paths in between. This set will teach children how to succeed on any path they choose and will help them develop confidence. They will also learn patience while restricting the paths you do not want them to take.
Type 2 Maze: This maze style is ideal for story creation. There is a single point of entry from which three different routes begin. However, each of the routes has three distinct endpoints. You can use one of the endpoints as the correct path and the other two as incorrect destinations.
Type 3 Maze: It is a one-of-a-kind collection with various entry and exit points. This maze style includes one-entry-one-exit, two-entry-two-exits, three-entry-three-exits, and four-entry-four-exits mazes.
Type 4 Maze: This maze style has a single entry, exit, and path to follow. It is, however, complex enough to teach younger children how to be patient and keep moving forward.
Type 5 Maze: With this four-entry, four-exit maze, kids can learn while having fun. You can make two sets of related items and place one on each side of the maze. Then, for some serious engagement and learning fun, instruct the kids to connect the correct items.
