For maze lovers and those working on visual perceptual skills, the iMazing! app has 14 levels to challenge you. Mazes help children to develop eye hand coordination skills, visual motor integration, problem solving and concentration skills.  

The visual layout of this app is very simple - light green path and dark greed background.  A green line is drawn as you draw your path through the maze.  If you make an error and go back through the maze then the path turns red.

The app is suitable for kids 4 years and older, with some adults finding the higher levels challenging. The app allows you to select the level that you want to complete so you are not required to complete all the levels sequentially.  You can also repeat a level with several different mazes and stop during any level.  The app has no recording function to remember which mazes have been completed.

14 levels of mazes with the iMazing! app.

The app is plain and does not have any characterisation or motivation for finishing the app.  Some children will find the nature of the app with increasing levels of difficulty motivation enough, where other children may find this "boring" especially if they have visual perceptual difficulties. 

I encourage school-aged children to use a stylus to draw through the maze, promoting a dynamic tripod grasp.

I find iMazing! a useful app to have in my ipad to use during therapy sessions. Download it and try it with your child today.
