At a Glance
This printable bee-themed number tracing maze helps preschool and kindergarten children practice number recognition, number order and number formation. Children trace the numbers 1-10 in sequence through a grid of decoys to guide the bee to the flower - building fine motor skills, visual discrimination and early number sense. Available in color and black and white.
This Bee Number Tracing Maze puts a little spin on number formation practice. Instead of simply tracing numbers down a page, children scan a grid packed with decoy numbers and trace only the correct path – 1 through 10, in order – to help the bee find it’s way to that sweet, sweet nectar!
This is a no-prep, print-and-go activity – available in color and black and white – making it an easy drop-in for morning tubs, a math center rotation, or a quiet independent practice moment. If your kiddos have enjoyed our build a busy little bee craft, this maze is a wonderful companion.
There’s a color and a black and white version to download below.
