My almost 3 yr old and I love this book along with My Book of Tracing and My First Book of Mazes. We work a bit in each one since they all start out with nice, easy pages. The mazes are *really* easy and start out as short paths for tracing before looking like actual mazes. We work both maze books using a bingo chip which she guides along like a little car. This has worked well for her since the last ones are too hard for her and she can continue to do mazes at her level by switching books and revisiting mazes.
I bought this for my daughter and she LOVES to do the mazes! A tip - tear out the pages and laminate them. Then you can use a dry erase marker and do them over and over!
We like to stay active in our grandkids’ lives. Since ours don’t live nearby, Prime makes it very easy to send occasional pieces of mail to them. Items don’t have to be expensive—I like to send “hands-on” things, like tattoos, stickers and especially these activity books. Kumon workbooks are fantastic—there’s one for every age group. This very easy maze book is perfect for around age three.Imagine my surprise when I received a completed page sent back to me, along with a scribbly thank-you that included some previously mailed little surprises (stickers). That small gesture did my heart good—adults like receiving mail too—it’s as much fun as sending mail.
This is a good book for very young children (2+). There are a lot of really simple mazes (actually 80). Each maze is on an 8 1/2 x 11 page. The mazes get progressively harder, but they were all really easy for my three year old son. If I had let him, he would have finished a good portion of the book in just one sitting. As with all the Kumon workbooks, it is printed on good quality paper with colorful backgrounds. Also, there is a certificate of achievement in the back.
This is a great product, but geared to younger children as their first introduction to mazes. My 4 yr old son breezed through this book in one sitting. He may not have gotten them all perfect, but it wasn't much of a challenge at 4.
My Son is 2.5 yrs old and loved this book. He finished it in less than a months time. Yes, they weren't very challenging mazes, but kept the attention of my child for 10 minutes everyday. He liked it so much that everyday he would ask for it himself. I only wish they came in spiral bound or something like similar, so that I need not hold the book for him while he is working.
My 3 year old daughter was immediately interested and engaged with a friend's maze book, so I ordered this one for her. I followed the suggestion of a previous reviewer, and laminated several pages to begin with. I put them in a 3 ring binder and presented them to my daughter with a set of dry erase crayons. What a hit! She enjoys working on her mazes daily and I just take a few minutes each evening to wipe down the pages so they will be ready for her the next day. I felt the book was well set up in terms of building skill level as my daughter is breezing through the more challenging mazes at the end of the book now so I plan to purchase the next maze book in the Kumon series soon.
I agree with another viewer that this is geared for very young children. My three-year old could have finished this in one sitting if I let him. We've been doing a lot of maze books to help improve his pencil control since he was two years old because he is a lefty - it's hard for him to see around his own hand.However, the mazes in this book were some very interesting shapes (ex: scissors and a mermaid), and the "paths" of the mazes are wide enough that your child will easily be able to stay between the lines.Also, the Kumon books achieve exactly what they state, so I recommend My Book of Mazes: Things That Go! (Kumon Workbooks) and My Book of Mazes: Around the World for something more challenging.
