Puzzle guide
About mouse and cheese mazes
What they are
Mouse and Cheese mazes star a hungry little mouse searching for a wedge of cheese. It is a classic maze story: twelve puzzles that start with easy 10 × 10 grids and finish with a large, hard maze where the cheese is very well hidden.
How to play
Start at the mouse and draw a path through the open corridors to the cheese, without crossing any walls. Online, the mouse moves with your finger, mouse or arrow keys.
Tips
Turn it into a game of 'sniff out the cheese': ask your child which corridor smells cheesiest before choosing a turn. For older kids, set a timer and see whether the mouse can beat the cat to the snack.
Who they suit
These mazes suit toddlers and preschoolers making their first marks with a crayon, kindergarten classes reading mouse stories, and older siblings who want to race through the harder ones.
Printing
Print the set as a twelve-page booklet, one maze per page with the Kids version on for big mouse and cheese pictures. Solutions are on separate sheets.
