Kumon My Book of Easy Mazes Ages 2-4 (Kumon Workbooks) Paperback – Illustrated, March 31, 2006

Really good for kids)

This is a FANTASTIC way to introduce small kids to the concept of mazes. They are simple and easy, but the mazes build complexity as you move throughout the book. We bought it for our 3 1/2 year old daughter for a long car trip. Since she had never done a maze before, it didn't work out for us in the car. But once we were able to sit down together and talk about the concepts, she loved the idea, and completed the first 19 in a row. It was fantastic to watch - so fun for us both. She still has about half the book left, and I've already ordered the next level up. Yes, the book is a bit pricey, but I say totally worth it. It teaches math concepts in a safe, fun way that helps kids build confidence. Great buy!

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!

I have a 3-year-old and it worked great for him! He is not a fan of spending time for art or tracing. In fact, he did not like tracing at all before I have introduced him to this book. He keeps pretending to be a car and tracing his way out of the maze. Every evening before bed he asks me to do his mazes. We have just finished this Eazy Mazes (took us only 3 days) and got Kumon's next level of mazes. I definitely see results, he can draw more sophisticated lines, different angles, curves etcIf you are struggling to introduce your kid to tracing start with this workbook.

This book of mazes is recommended for ages 2-3-4, and we got it for my son just after he turned 3 years old. True to its title, the mazes are "easy", and it was a great way to introduce the concept of mazes while also building my son's confidence - he had a sense of accomplishment any time he finished a maze.My son finished this book quickly, and within a month I had ordered the next book in the series. My son is now 4 years old, and he has enjoyed working his way through the Kumon maze series:- "My Book of Easy Mazes" (for ages 2-3-4)- "My First Book of Mazes" (for ages 3-4-5)- "Amazing Mazes" (for ages 4-5-6)- "My Book of Mazes: Things That Go!" (for ages 5-6-7) - My son is working on this book now.I like mazes because they encourage my son to pause in the thinking process to look ahead to see which path will pan out - this seems like a good cognitive ability to have. Also, it gives him a chance to practice his pencil grip, which is something I think about because I never corrected my daughter's pencil grip when she was a pre-schooler (I didn't think it mattered!) and now, as a 7-year-old in first grade, she still holds a pencil incorrectly (which makes her writing messy, and her hand hurts after even short writing assignments).My only complaint about this book - and all Kumon workbooks - is in regards to the workbook's binding. The spine is thick enough so that when the workbook is open, the book and pages do not lay flat, making it difficult to write on them. For every new page my son works on, I have to REALLY press down on the binding to open up the pages and keep them down. My son could easily be self-sufficient while he works on his mazes, except that I have to be always nearby to push down the pages for him, otherwise he gets frustrated. I don't know if the binding is a function of the paper quality - which is very good - or what, but I just wish the pages would stay flat when opened, or at least be perforated so they could be easily removed and used as worksheets.

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.

this is very cute and helpful. my 3 yo loves this book. he always tell me he is doing homework. helps with their motor skills and habd writting. great buy! i recommend having your kids start early
