4 Free Printable Christmas Mazes for Kids

Sharing is caring!

Looking for a fun Christmas activity to keep the kids busy for a little while? These free printable Christmas mazes are a simple way to give them something fun to do without needing to buy any extra supplies.

I’ve put together four different Christmas-themed mazes, including a reindeer, Santa, Christmas ornaments, and a gingerbread house. Some are easier than others, so there’s a little something for different ages.

They’re great for those afternoons when the kids need a quiet activity, for Christmas parties, or even to bring along when you’re visiting family during the holidays.

And the best part? You can print them right at home!

Download Your Free Printable Christmas Mazes

This free download includes 4 Christmas maze worksheets that you can print and use at home.

All you need is a printer and a pencil, crayon, or marker.

Print all four mazes or let your kids pick their favorites. You can even print an extra set if they want to try them again.

What’s Included in These Christmas Maze Printables?

Each maze has its own Christmas theme and a little challenge for your kids to complete.

1. Help the Reindeer Find the North Pole

The reindeer needs to find his way back to the North Pole in time for Christmas! Kids will have to work their way through several twists, turns, and dead ends to find the right path. This is one of the more challenging mazes in the set, making it a fun option for kids who enjoy a good puzzle.

2. Help Santa Find His Sleigh

Santa needs to get back to his sleigh so he can deliver the Christmas gifts. This maze is shaped like a snowman and has lots of different paths to figure out. It’s a fun one for kids who enjoy taking their time and solving a slightly trickier maze.

3. Help the Ornaments Reach the Christmas Tree

This Christmas ornament maze is a little simpler than the others. Kids will help guide the ornaments through the maze to the Christmas tree so it can be decorated. With its wider paths and fewer turns, this one is a good place to start for younger children or kids who are new to mazes.

4. Help the Gingerbread Man Find His Candy Canes

The last maze features a gingerbread house with a gingerbread man trying to find his candy canes. This one has lots of narrow pathways and turns, making it another fun challenge for kids who enjoy puzzles. It’s also a cute activity to do while you’re baking or decorating Christmas cookies together.

How to Print Your Christmas Maze Worksheets

Printing these Christmas mazes is easy!

1. Find the free printable download form near the beginning of this post.
2. Follow the instructions to get your free printable PDF.
3. Open the PDF on your computer or phone.
4. Print the four worksheets on regular 8.5 x 11-inch printer paper.
5. Give your kids some pencils, crayons, or markers, and let them get started!

I recommend printing at actual size or selecting Fit to Page if your printer needs it.

You can print the worksheets in color, but they’re also usable in black and white if you’d rather save on colored ink.

Fun Ways to Use These Christmas Mazes

One of my favorite things about printable activities is how easy they are to pull out whenever you need something for the kids to do. Here are a few ways you can use these Christmas maze worksheets:

• Quiet time at home: Keep a few printed and ready for afternoons when everyone needs a little downtime.
• Christmas classroom parties: Set them out with pencils or crayons for an easy holiday activity.
• Family Christmas gatherings: Give the kids something fun to work on while the adults visit.
• Holiday road trips: Pack a few mazes on a clipboard to keep little hands busy in the car.
• Christmas activity baskets: Add them to a basket with coloring pages, crayons, and a few other simple activities.

You could even make a little Christmas activity folder and add a few new printables throughout December.

Why Mazes Are a Great Activity for Kids

Besides being fun, mazes give children a chance to practice a few important skills.

As they follow the paths, kids work on hand-eye coordination, pencil control, concentration, and problem-solving. They also get to practice being patient and trying again when they reach a dead end.

And I love that they’re a screen-free activity that doesn’t require much preparation. Of course, younger children might need a little help getting started, especially with the more challenging mazes. That’s perfectly fine!
