My Book of Easy Mazes Ages 2-4 (Kumon Workbooks)

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.

We are addicted to all the Kumon books. We are homeschooling our preschoolers this year and the books are wonderful supplements to their curriculum. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because it was very easy for my 4 year olds - as in they tore through the entire book in less than a half an hour. Would recommend this for 2 or 3 year olds, not 4 yr olds. However, the next book of "My First Book of Mazes" for 3-4-5 yr olds is more challenging for them and more age appropriate. If you haven't discovered Kumon books, you'll be glad when you do! I am considering buying this book again for a future plane ride, when they are done with the book, I'll just throw it out - but at least it'll keep them busy and happy for 30 mins!

We like to stay active in our grandkids’ lives. Since ours don’t live nearby, Amazon 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.

My 3 year old son has not ever been very interested in coloring/drawing/writing. He is interested in learning his letters, but has no pencils skills because that has never been of interest to him. I bought this book, as well as this tracing book from Kumon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/4774307076/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. We started with the tracing book and he did enjoy it enough that he would do a few pages at a time. One day he said he wanted to try the this book, and he took a liking to it and finished the entire book (80 mazes total) over a span of 2 days. His pencil skills have improved because these mazes interested him enough to keep him working at them. The mazes are great for spacial awareness and problem solving. My 3 year loved them! I loved that there was a certificate in the back for when you complete the book. He was so excited to put it up on the fridge. If you have a pre-schooler who needs pencil practice, this product is great. If you want to help your child build their brain with these fun mazes, this product is great!

My 3 year old loves this book so much. He does several pages at a time. He’s not learning how to write letters quite yet, and still doesn’t hold a pencil correctly yet, so I really like that this maze book gives him opportunities to do the kinds of strokes that he will have to when he starts writing letters. As we started running out of pages towards the end of the book, he would just redo mazes that he already did but use a different color or different kind of marker and do earlier mazes again. I added photos of several pages so you can get an idea of what the inside looks like, as well as an idea about how it starts easy and then gets progressively harder.
