Fine Motor/Pencil Skill Building with Mazes!If your child is being resistant to writing and other fine motor skills, consider introducing him to the world of mazes and connect the dots. My five year old has always had strong gross motor, but never had the attention span to sit and work on fine motor skills. He hates coloring, writing numbers and letters, and having him write his name is like pulling teeth. Until one day I had a maze in a packet of handwriting exercises. He loved them! So, having prior experience with the Kumon series, I immediately purchased this book after I ran out of mazes from his other workbooks. He loves it!The book is 80 pages long with mazes on the front and back of each page, so 80 mazes in total. The front page is a maze with a theme such as follow the path through the farm or the vegetable patch. The maze on the back of the page is a standard black on white maze with geometrical lines and shapes. It is clear where the maze starts, an arrow points to the beginning, and where the maze ends, a star is the finish line. For a Pre-K or Kindergarten student, the difficulty level is just perfect. My son actually had to take his time to work the through the maze, but it’s not too intricate to cause frustration. The mazes are also not super easy. I found my son stopping, picking up his pencil, and then placing it back down to continue. Part of his issue is that he does want to pick up his pencil to trace or follow the lines. So, I believe this will help him to realize that picking up his pencil while writing is ok. Additionally, the mazes become more challenging as you progress through the book. Furthermore, the book is approximately 8 x12, so the mazes are on a full sheet of paper. Some of the Kumon books are actually REALLY tiny (like the size of a 5×7 photo!) and realistically using the book is almost impossible, but this book sized for small children in mind. Everything needs to be BIG, and thus, this book is big. I will be buying additional books once this one has been used up.
Thinking Out Loud –
Another Great Book in the Kumon Maze SeriesThis book of mazes is recommended for ages 4-5-6, but we got it for my son when he was 3 years old. He had previously worked through “My Book of Easy Mazes” (for ages 2-3-4) and “My First Book Of Mazes” (for ages 3-4-5), so we were confident that this book – the next in the series – was the appropriate level for him.I think if you’re looking for a maze book, but aren’t sure which level book to get, go with the one for which your child’s age is the middle number, e.g., if your child is 4, try a maze book for ages 3-4-5. I think it’s okay if the mazes are too easy at first. For my son, it was nice to see his confidence build as he had a sense of accomplishment after every maze he finished.I like mazes because they encourage my son to pause in the thinking process to look ahead to see which path will pan out – this seems like a good cognitive ability to have. Also, it gives him a chance to practice his pencil grip, which is something I think about because I never corrected my daughter’s pencil grip when she was a pre-schooler (I didn’t think it mattered!) and now, as a 7-year-old in first grade, she still holds a pencil incorrectly (which makes her writing messy, and her hand hurts after even short writing assignments).My only complaint about this book – and all Kumon workbooks – is in regards to the workbook’s binding. The spine is thick enough so that when the workbook is open, the book and pages do not lay flat, making it difficult to write on them. For every new page my son works on, I have to REALLY press down on the binding to open up the pages and keep them down. My son could easily be self-sufficient while he works on his mazes, except that I have to be always nearby to push down the pages for him, otherwise he gets frustrated. I don’t know if the binding is a function of the paper quality – which is very good – or what, but I just wish the pages would stay flat when opened, or at least be perforated so they could be easily removed and used as worksheets.

Good book of mazes but could use more pagesMy son is almost 5 and he breezed through this book way too fast though it was nice to see that he had to think about these before he did them. I bought a really big book of preschooler mazes at a wholesale club but he was able to cruise through that 200+ page book in a month of off and on use on the weekends. Both books cost the same. This book was defintely harder but after a week he had already gone through most of the whole book. I have twins so I had another book – yes, I buy two of everything – so this time I took that one apart (after boy #2 rejected it for the most part)and didn’t give him the whole book at once. Made that one last much longer. A good choice and the mazes defintely made him think about how to work them out before doing them – something he didn’t have to do much of in other books we tried. A good and fun book. My other son didn’t seem to have the patience to want to put much time into thinking about the mazes before he did them so he had no interest in it after a few uses. He found it a bit frustrating which I found odd because he is my “must color within the lines perfectly kid”. I would recommend this book but it makes me wonder if it might be a bit too easy for a 6 year child.

Excellent little activity for little kidsMy daughter enjoyed it big time. Finished the entire book in a little over a week; had to control it a bit. Really good exercise for kids and keeps them away from the screen. Highly recommend.

Fun for new maze into but level up if your child is already good at mazesGave this to my 4 year old for Christmas and he immediately stopped opening presents to do it. I had to drag him away. The mazes are a nice variety of shapes and themes (gardens with shovels and piles of dirt blocking the way or racetracks with traffic cones or other cars to avoid) but in the end I think it was too easy. He finished the whole thing over two days in under an hour total. If this is your first time introducing mazes to your child it’s a fun and colorful place to start, but if your child is already super into mazes the I’d level up. Planning on buying the next level in this series though so I think the publisher is good. They also have a ‘completion certificate’ you can tear out and fill out for your child.

Simpel but funI have four year old twin boys, and they had mixed reviews on this. One of them LOVED this book, I wasn’t sure how they would do, and he picked up the concept very quickly. The only reason he wasn’t done with this within a couple days was because I paced him. His brother on the other hand, used it more like a coloring book, and had very little to no interest in actually completing the mazes. Ironically, he’s usually the rule follower and the other one is the boundary pusher ;)I personally love the Kumon books and their basic structure of starting them off slow and building up to mastering the skill. I have had great success in the past with my oldest son (now 8) using these books and they are definitely my go to in learning new skills.
Dane shopper –
Sons favorite book!I have a 5 yr old who loves the maze books! I use these as a ‘reward’ when he has finished his other homework. Kumon has colorful and happy pictures and the mazes are perfect for the starters. We have already gotten the next maze book where the mazes get a little harder. This has even doubled as a ‘cutting’ book because my son likes to cut the pictures out after he has done the maze.The only con – and I say this in all my Kumon reviews – is that they don’t perforate their pages. It would make life SO much easier if Kumon would spend a little more and run the pages through a perforator on the press before having it bound. I am tired of trying to remove pages and ripping into the pictures and such.Aside from that one thing… this is a great book for little ones.

Love Kumon ProductsMy kids love the Kumon books. My 3 year-old does these puzzles. I’d say he’s maybe a little on the advanced side, so I would say probably on average 4-5 year-olds would love this and it would be a little easy for the average 6 year-old. I had to sit with him and really show him how to do them the first couple of pages, but after that he could do them on his own. I really liked that this particular book seemed like a challenge for him. Some other activity books for little little children are so easy that they can flip through it in minutes and be done! My son would do 3 or 4 mazes a day and then be done and each maze took him a couple of minutes at least. Really great for concentration, motor skills, critical thinking, etc. Excellent product.

Challenging but still fun.My kid cruised through the easy mazes in this series so I upgraded her to this workbook. I love how this series has different levels for kids to work at their own pace. We don’t use the pencil with these, we just finger trace so they can later be passed on to my friend’s kid. This book is challenging, but still fun. We love it!
HomeschoolMamaofIrishTwins –
WonderfulOur children are homeschooled for Kindergarten. We study several different subjects.. with different workbooks.. by different publishers! We use Kumon, DK series, What Your Kindergartener Needs to Know, Brain Games, education.com, ABCmouse.com, etc. I want to make sure our kids can handle having questions & problems presented in different ways so they can learn to answer even if it’s new to them. Our girls LOVE mazes. It’s a great way for them to warm up for homeschooling and it’s fun for them. Exercising their brain via problem solving, fine motor skills as well as their visual motor skills. They are also learning to start at the beginning of the maze or the end of the maze.

80 Mazes That Are Just Challenging EnoughI bought this for my almost 4 year old son. I expected him to not be able to get through it for at least a few months because he is still 3. He absolutely loves mazes and this book was the perfect thing to challenge him. The mazes started out right on his level and progressively got more challenging. It really has improved his logic and reasoning skills. There are 80 mazes in the book and he did quite a few each day, so he got through it pretty quick but he really enjoyed it. I would recommend this book for any child who loves a little challenge.
Peachie –
Great maze book!My 4 year old son LOVES mazes. He usually breezes through maze books. This one is just a bit more challenging for him, so it’s been a welcome change.
Gamer –
My 4 year old really enjoys theseYou can tear out the pages if you like. They are perfect for my 4 year old daughter- she was hesitant at first cause she had never done a maze before, but she caught on quick and they are too easy for her now- but she still enjoys doing them. We use them as writing practice. I tell her she needs to be careful to keep the line in the middle of the maze corridors to help with her fine motor skills and control.

it’s a good time killer when they are waiting for their food …I’m not a fan of kids playing with electronics 24/7…..so instead of taking out a tablet or phone for my kids to play with when they are at a restaurant, I give these kumon books to him to play and work through when we eat out…..it’s a good time killer when they are waiting for their food to come or when they finished their food but the “boring chatty adults aren’t done with their meals or conversation”……..
Vicki –
Pretty good maze bookThis maze book is pretty much like the maze book that comes before this one, (Mazes 3,4,5). If I could only choose one maze book it would be the 3,4,5 book. There wasn’t that much difference in skill level.
PPortillo –
A bit repetitiveCan be a bit boring for a child after a few pages. Its only maze after maze. My child will only do about 3 at a time. So dont expect this will occupy your child for more than a few minutes. Still, it helps them use their motor skills and helps them improve their handwriting. We do a few pages every other day.
Woohoo15 –
Great for 4-year-old!Colorful and challenging, this book has many pages to entertain early maze fanatics! The book is sturdy with thicker pages. Each page has a slightly harder maze, and the open space to draw lines is wide enough to help foster hand-eye coordination. Highly recommend!
Trisha Tourgelis –
Great workbook.I love Kumon workbooks. My son is now 5 and has been using these books for a little over a year. They are perfect for little ones to learn how to do mazes and just the right skill level. We’ve started with the easiest and have slowly been moving up. The price is always great on Amazon as well. Highly recommend.

… to upgrade to this maze book (she’s done the easy mazes previously)My 4 year old is very excited to upgrade to this maze book (she’s done the easy mazes previously). This one is a bit more challenging, but that’s exactly what we wanted. I have seen a huge improvement in her handwriting skills after using these maze books.
Anthony P –
Glad I have itMy kid loves this. She doesn’t want to do the “harder” pages but it’s a good opportunity to teach her how to overcome laziness/giving up attitude and show her how to tackle something that looks complicated but isn’t. “Go backwards!”
Abigail –
Perfect for preschool and K!We LOVE Kumon books. I homeschool and love to use these for my pre and k aged kids. I really think it helps their fine motor control and problem solving skills. It is also a great quiet activity for while I work with older kids!The pages are thick and good quality. The pictures are bright and creative.My son recently brought a Kumon book on a plane ride and it kept him busy for 45 minutes. I think that’s great for a just-turned 5 year old!
Active working mom –
6 year old loves theseMy kindergartener does really like homework. We use these as a “reward” at the end of his homework. The other day, I walked out of the room to help our other child. When I came back he had completed 10 pages and insisted on doing three more to finish the book. He loves them and had progressed in his skill. It have even spilt over into his confidence in the other homework.
Designer Mom –
Nice mazesVery cute book for our little 4 year old guy. The pictures are nicely detailed making simple mazes fun for him. Great for fine motor development and kindergarten readiness.

This Maze Book is Perfect for a 5 Year OldMy five year old grandson loves these mazes. He completed twenty of them in thirty minutes! Some are harder than others but not in any special order. Great book and value!
busymom –
Love Kumon books!We homeschool and I needed some extra stuff for my 4 year old to do. He loves mazes and this book is fantastic. The mazes look simple at first glance but there are many that require a few tries. We tore out the pages and put them in page protectors so he can do them with dry-erase. It holds his attention well and has a nice mix of easy confidence building mazes as well as more challenging pages as well.
Mrs. Colleen Gallagher –
Amazed with these mazes!!!This book is perfect for your preschooler!!! Hours of fun. Much different than typical books of mazes. My son (4 years), loves these because there are streets in maze shapes and many different themes of mazes. This is great practice for pre-writing skills. We always trace with out finger, then a pencil, and then a highlighter! This tip provides extra practice and makes the book last longer. This is one of my son’s favorite activities. He would complete the book in one sitting if we let him. It is that much fun!
SunnyAZ –
Kumon creates great mazes for little children!!!When my now 7 year old was 4-5 years old, we started buying the Kumon maze books and he just loved learning how to get through each maze. These workbooks are colorful & great for traveling or days away from home. I really think that all of the Kumon series of workbooks carefully ease a child into whatever subject matter you pick. If your little one likes mazes and wants to master them, then I highly recommend this series as a place to start. Good luck & have fun!
Steve –
My kid sits with this book for AN HOUR!I have young twins. One of them will grab these books and a crayon and trace the mazes for nearly an hour. He won’t even watch TV that long. He goes from front to back of the book and when he’s done, he starts at the front again. He doesn’t even care that he already has drawn on a page, he just traces again over and over. I have bought every book in the series.
Red-Eyed Zhaan –
Great maze bookBought this for my 4-year old, and he whizzed through these. Loved it, and he wants another now that he’s finished all the mazes in this one. It was the perfect activity for restaurants, car trips, or anywhere we had to sit and wait.
Niki –

Perfect for my kindergartenerMy kids love the Kumon Maze books. We start with the 1st in the series “My Book of Easy Mazes” and progress from there.
Mary Gilbert –
Don’t buy used maze booksI bought this maze book for my grandson, who has just turned 4. I wasn’t surprised to see that many of the mazes inside had already been worked, but I was taken aback that most of them had been done with ball-point pen. Those that had been done in pencil I was able to erase so they could still be of use, but I was unable to give them as a gift. They now get use – with pencil – on the occasions of visits to my house, and I erase them after they have been done.The book itself is quite good, with pleasant graphics on good quality paper. I do recommend the book. Just don’t buy a used copy!

Better than othersI’ve been pretty happy with the Kumon series product offerings, but this book is better than their average offering.

E. Van Der Scratchy –
great for almost 5 year old who loves mazesMy son is almost five and can whip through a book of mazes for 4 year olds in about two seconds. This book was the exact perfect level for him: he could finish the mazes without becoming bored/frustrated but each one took him several minutes to complete. He had great fun with this book.
Amazon Customer –
Too easyFun mazes but my 5 & 3 old grandchildren blew through the book in less than an hour. Overpriced for the level. Should change recommended age on cover & advertising.
Cailyn Kelly –
great for pencil controlMy kids love doing books with mazes. Keeps them occupied for hours
Klinkerpopper –
My kids love these mazes!The mazes are fun, yet Kumon keeps the challenge up. The mazes start out easier in the beginning with wider spaces between the lines and simpler puzzles. They slowly ramp up the challenge and the kids don’t even notice. All my kids notice is the fun they are having.
MGL –
Mazes book correctedI was very pleased with my purchase. At first, an incorrect book was sent to me. I contacted the seller and he immediately fixed the issue. I was allowed to keep the book sent to me and the one I ordered was mailed out right away. I would definitely order from this seller again.

Perfect practice for the writing-averse kidMy son hates coloring, drawing, and writing, but loves mazes! This is perfect handwriting and pencil practice that he begs for. I cannot believe how hard he fights other pencil activities, yet he adores this book. Very very happy, will need more!
MontanaLove –
My kids love these!All the Kumon Maze books have been a big hit with my kids (my son just turned 4 and he’s just the right age to be starting this one). Love the space for the pencil lines and the clear, non-confusing maze paths. Excellent!
flgatormom –
Mom, where are my mazes?I am asked that question by my daughter (age 5) almost every day. She loves doing these mazes. I actually take them to church with us so that she can sit quietly and do them during the service. She likes figuring out how to manuever her way through the mazes. Lots of fun.
Girl from down under –
Fun and learningI used the Kumon maze books for both of my children. Both of them have enjoyed the challenge of finding their way through the mazes. I found that this was an excellent way to develop their pencil skills while having fun.

Amazingly Developmentally AppropriateThis is the 4th of several levels of the mazes I have given as gifts to my grandson. The mazes are leveled so very well, and progression through them is delightful. I look forward to every new book as he grows with them.

Perfect mazes for my 4- and 6-year-old!The kids are actually pretty bored with mazes, but I bought this book anyway because the graphics are so eye-poppingly beautiful. (I bought it at the same time as I purchased the Kumon book of Easy Crafts, also reviewed here on Amazon)The kids were intrigued, and so was I, and have requested these mazes regularly ever since I brought them home.As homeschoolers, it’s nice to take a “maze break” with between formal subjects, and the mazes are neither too difficult nor too hard for either child. I would say the mazes on the front (the 3-d, full-colour ones) are pretty easy; I can usually solve them at a glance, but perhaps the 3d throws off the kids, because they take a bit longer than usual. The back mazes (single-colour) seem more challenging in structure, yet somehow simpler to solve because of their visual simplicity.The paper is nice and thick, giving it a more important feel than most “throw-away” mazes we can find and print off the Internet (where there’s no shortage of mazes). The full-colour graphics also make these feel like a special thing, not just any other printable.The mazes do somewhat escalate in difficulty, but generally, I just flip through the book until each kid finds a maze he/she wants to do. There is a nod to variety towards the end of the book, with character-shaped mazes and direction puzzles on the back of some of the later ones. There’s also a “certificate” at the back that we will probably never use – we don’t need a piece of paper to tell us we’ve done some mazes.In general, I don’t think these are wildly educational, but I bought them just for fun, and indeed, they have proven quite fun. Along with the Easy Crafts book, this maze book would be great for bringing along with kids to any confined situation where they can’t run around as usual – airplane ride, hospital stay, grandparent visit. (perhaps not a restaurant, as you don’t necessarily want glue everywhere!)For the reasonable price of this book, I feel we’ve gotten great value – in fact, I’ve been pleasantly surprised, and would highly recommend this book.

Great maze book!My son is 3 and he loved this book and finished it in a few days. If you have a young kid who loves mazes, this is for you!

Great mazes.My son who just turned 4 the other week loved this book. He went through it in just a few days. I’m on Amazon now picking out more maze books.

Lacking variety, not engagingMy 3.5 year old is a big fan of mazes so I bought just about every maze workbook for pre-K&K category, and this one is just…so so BORING and monotonous. Yes, the book has 80 pages, but there are basically 2 types of mazes repeating themselves over and over again. And if you are in 4-6 age category.. it will be too boring. Just see the photos attached- all the mazes don’t have too much difference about them. In that sense I prefer School Zone workbooks, they keep child more interested.

Nice looking mazesI just got my 5 year old this book and she loves it. Almost half of the mazes are rendered in a beatiful isometric view with decorations, while the other half are not as decorated but offer more challenging and complex mazes, so it has a really nice learning curve.The quality of the paper is great

Perfect for my daughterMy daughter (3.5 years) was delighted to have one page a day as a treat.

Not challenging enoughDc ages 7 and 5 whipped through this in less than a day. Still, we like the Kumon series of workbooks and were grateful for the diversion this maze book brought.

Excelente atividadeComprei esse livro para aumentar o nível dos labirintos que meu filho de 3 anos fazia. Muito bom. Em cada folha, uma mais atrativo com ilustrações e temas, outro mais difícil. Achei com um preço bom na época. Valeu a pena.

Highly recommendedI had bought this book for my 4.5 years old twin daughters and they have just finished it. As with most other KUMON series this book suited them very well. They were doing 2 pages (four mazes) per day without much efforts. I can’t say whether this is due to this book or just their natural development path, but I noticed that their drawing skill definitely improved over the last few weeks.This is one of the KUMON books I definitely recommend.

Excellent and amazing mazes!!!What we love about the Kumon books – the methodical gentle approach with enough instructions for parents and ample motivation for little ones. Becoz the exercises, increase in complexity gradually, little ones totally look forward to these books. The book provides ample writing and visual exercise opportunity. mazes become difficult and the confidence becomes better. Love the usage of normal day to day things and animals for making mazes. We typically use a finger first and then pencil for better results. We are using the amazing tracing from Kumon also in tandem and it makes a powerful combination for writing. My little one never sleeps without doing some pages and at times i have to wrestle it out of his hands.
