The learning connection
Creating and solving mazes engages children through embodied cognition, where physical movement and mental planning work together. As they navigate, they actively visualize routes, reinforcing memory and decision-making skills through the zone of proximal development.
Try it with your learner
1. Use a large piece of cardboard or paper to draw a maze. 2. Include obstacles like books or toys to increase difficulty. 3. Take a small toy or a coin as your marker. 4. Start at the entrance and navigate to the exit without lifting your marker. 5. Time yourself and record how long it takes. 6. Challenge a family member to solve the maze in under your time!
