Maze Generator for Kids: Make and Print Free Mazes

Choose a size from an easy 5 by 5 maze to a hard 25 by 25 one, pick a square or a round shape and a start and finish picture, then press New maze. Every maze has exactly one way through. Show the solution on screen, or print the maze with the solution on its own page.

Free to use, no sign-up. Everything runs in your browser: nothing you type is uploaded.

Every maze has a number. Type the same number again to get the same maze back.

How to use it

  1. Choose the size and the shape

    Start with an easy 5 by 5 square for young children and work up to 25 by 25 for a real challenge. The circle shape has the finish in the middle and the start on the outside.

  2. Pick the start and finish pictures

    Choose mouse and cheese, rocket and star, or a plain start dot and flag. The title above the maze changes to match, so children know what the puzzle is about.

  3. Press New maze

    A new maze appears with exactly one way through. Press the button again for another one, or type a maze number to bring back a maze you made before.

  4. Show the solution or print

    Press Show solution to see the path on screen. Press Print and the maze comes out on the first page and the maze with its solution on a second page for marking.

Ideas for class and home

  • A quick activity for early finishers

    Print an easy maze and keep a pile near the door. Children who finish early pick one up, and the answer page makes it simple for you to check it.

  • Pencil control and focus

    Tracing a path with a pencil without touching the walls builds the same control as handwriting. Start with big squares and move to smaller ones as hands get steadier.

  • Party and holiday games

    Make a stack of mazes with the rocket theme for a space party or the mouse theme for a picnic. A different maze number for each guest means nobody can copy.

  • Screen time on the class board

    Open a hard maze in full screen and let children come up to the board and point out the way. Press Show solution at the end to see who found it.
