“The mazes are big and easy for a young child to draw within the lines”
[THE AIMS AND PURPOSE OF THIS BOOK]
This book gives your child the opportunity to develop his or her manual dexterity and pencil-control skills by tracing lines through mazes following clear directional indicators. Children love animals, and they will enjoy these mazes full of animals like rabbits, bears, and elephants. Mazes allow your child to draw lines creatively and thereby practice the pencil skills necessary for writing letters and numbers. This practice will also help your child acquire the ability to concentrate, which is a crucial study skill.
When children work on a maze, they usually follow this pattern:
• They view the whole maze, and then look closely at the individual parts.
• They analyze the maze to find the way to the exit.
• They physically draw a line from the entrance to the exit on the maze.
Therefore, mazes help children develop their ability to analyse what they see and then physically act upon their understanding.
In the beginning, children will use a “trial and error” method to find their way from the entrance point to the exit point of the maze. In time, they will be able to more efficiently gauge the proper route through the maze. Through this process, they will develop the ability to reason and analyse – abilities that are necessary precursors to all learning.
