Alphabet Mazes

August 6, 2016 By Valerie Mcclintick Leave a Comment

If you haven’t already noticed, I love mazes! I loved them even more a child, and now that I’m all grown up I think they are a fantastic learning tool when paired up with educational content. This basic idea is the concept behind our newest website: BrainyMaze.com

On Brainy Maze, you’ll find Hundreds of Free Mazes for Kids, all of which have been created with education in mind. With our newest Letter Maze Set, Children can work their way through the alphabet, while learning beginning letter sounds and practicing key handwriting skills. This set features the entire lowercase alphabet and would compliment our letter of the week Alphabet Curriculum Notebook quite well!

These would make great review worksheets for young children entering Kindergarten or First Grade.

Tracing is a a great way to build those small muscle movements as children move their pencil along each animal outline. There are many fun Rainforest animals and Australian Animals included in this set so children are sure to be engaged when learning the names of new creatures. Text for each page is written in an, “A is for….” format using an EZ Read Dyslexia font.
