These free Corn Maze Farm printables turn a farm visit into a week of learning: a maze, counting, phonics, handwriting, patterns, coloring, and writing, built around a red barn, a hay wagon, and rows of corn ready for picking.
The set is sized for kindergarten and first grade, and preschoolers can join for the maze, counting, and coloring pages.
Free for your family, co-op, or classroom. Prints on regular letter paper. Every page is checked for mistakes before we post it.
What's in the corn maze printables
1. Counting corn
Five rows of the same ear of corn, two to six per row, in mixed order. Kids count the ears of corn in each row and write the number in the box.
Make it easier: Line up that many crackers or buttons as your child counts each row.
Make it harder: Ask which row has the most corn, or how many ears are in the first two rows together.
2. Maze
An 8-by-8 grid maze of thick black walls. A farmer stands at the top-left opening; a wagon of pumpkins waits at the bottom-right. Kids trace the one path that leads there; every other turn dead-ends.
Make it easier: Trace the path with a finger first, then go over it with a crayon.
Make it harder: Time how long it takes, then try tracing it backward.
3. Word match
Five pictures, a barn, a flag, an ear of corn, a wagon, and a gate, sit on the left, with the same five words in a different order on the right to match with a line.
Make it easier: Read all five words together first.
Make it harder: Cover the pictures and have your child read each word alone first.
4. Tracing
The words corn, barn, wagon, gate, and flag, each beside its picture. Kids trace the dotted gray word, then write it again on the blank line.
Make it easier: Say corn, barn, and wagon together before tracing each whole word.
Make it harder: Hide the dotted word and see if your child can write corn, barn, or wagon without looking.
5. Patterns: what comes next?
Four rows built from corn, a pumpkin, and a flag, each with its own rule: a back-and-forth swap, a repeat with one item doubled, and a three-item repeat. Kids draw what comes next in the box.
Make it easier: Build the first row with real corn and a small pumpkin before drawing it.
Make it harder: Have your child name each pattern and invent one of their own.
6. Coloring page
A farm scene: corn rows with a wooden arch into the maze, a hay wagon, a red barn, and a few clouds. Thick, simple lines leave room for crayons.
Make it harder: Have your child name everything in the picture before coloring it in.
7. Draw and write
Kids draw what they imagine finding inside the maze in the big box, then finish the sentence “Inside the corn maze, I found ___” on the lines below.
Make it easier: Your child tells you what they found in the maze, you write it lightly, they trace over it.
Make it harder: Write two or three sentences and read them back, checking for a capital letter and a period.
What kids practice with these corn maze worksheets
- Counting. Five rows of corn, two to six each.
- Phonics. Corn and barn use r-controlled vowels, or and ar. Gate uses a silent e for the long a. Flag starts with the blend fl, and wagon claps into two syllables: wag-on.
- Patterns. Two- and three-item repeats.
- Problem-solving. The maze works one path at a time and backs out of dead ends.
A simple 5-day corn maze plan
- Monday: Talk about fall on a farm, then do the counting page.
- Tuesday: Read the words together, then do the word match.
- Wednesday: Do the tracing page and point out the or and ar sounds.
- Thursday: Do the maze page, then the patterns page.
- Friday: Color the scene and finish the draw-and-write page.
Using the set in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade
Preschool: Focus on the maze, counting, coloring, and the first pattern row.
Kindergarten: Move through the set page by page, no changes needed.
First grade: Try each harder option and ask for two sentences about what they found in the maze.
How a corn maze gets made
A corn maze starts months before anyone walks through it. A farmer plants corn in straight rows each spring, then many farms design the maze on a computer and mark it out with paint while the corn is still about a foot tall, before it’s too thick to cut. Workers cut the paths with a string trimmer, and the maze is ready by fall.
