Set It Up
For this activity you will need:
Paper
Printer
Any writing tool – crayon, pencil, etc
Optional: Laminator and dry erase markers if planning to use in a center
Below are the supplies I use personally at home. After doing so many printable activities, I’ve found that it’s most helpful to always have these basic supplies on hand.

Start It Up
There are 3 mazes that would be suitable for preschool up to first grade.
-
A school bus making its way to school
-
A schoolgirl going to school with a crossing guard. This one has a second version with a question or talking topic about crossing the road safely.
-
A smart cookie finding their way to school – for those of you who prefer more imaginative centers.
All the maze paths are different so you can choose one of the 3 or all 3 to print and play. So easy!
