## At a glance

- 12 × 12 passages
- 2 pages with solution
- Letter and A4

## How to use this page

Start at the top opening. Find the bottom exit without crossing a wall.

Twelve rows introduce more decisions than My first path. At a dead end, return to the last junction rather than drawing across a wall. A finger trace can help you compare the open passages before committing to a line.

## After the activity

Mark a dead end gently and leave the surrounding walls visible. Try the smaller maze for a shorter break, or The long way home when you want more turns.
