Christmas Tree Mazes from 55 to 321 Cells
Christmas tree maze printables in two levels: 55 wide cells for ages 3 to 5 or 321 narrow ones for ages 9 to 12, with the route on page two of each PDF.

From the star to the pot
On both levels of this Christmas tree maze, the paths reach up into the star and all the way down through the trunk into the pot. Between them sit three tiers that widen toward the bottom, and the walls follow their curved edges in small square steps. Each arrow joins the maze through a short channel in the outline. Page two of every PDF has the solution.
A small tree and a big one
The easy tree begins outside the left edge of the top tier, just below the star. Its 55 cells are 12 mm wide, for ages 3 to 5, and the route passes through 27 of them on the way down through the tiers and the trunk into the pot. It leaves through the bottom.
The hard tree starts lower, beside the left end of the middle tier. It packs 321 cells of only 5.5 mm for ages 9 to 12. The 102-cell route climbs into the top tier, winds back down through the bottom tier and the trunk, and crosses the pot to leave on its left side, near the bottom. A sharp pencil helps most in that last stretch, and fit to page would squeeze it, so the A4 or US Letter print belongs at 100 percent. The two trees start and finish in different places, so solving one gives no help with the other.
The last days before the break
It is handy for travel, a holiday party table or the last school days before the break. Once the route is found, the tree can be colored green, with ornaments drawn in the open spaces.
Skills practiced & tips
- Find both arrows before starting; the easy tree starts near the star, the hard tree beside the left end of the middle tier.
- Trace the route with a finger first, then go over it in pencil.
- When a path stops at a wall, back up to the last fork and try the other way.
- On the hard page, keep a sharp pencil for the 5.5 mm corridors near the pot.
- Once the route is done, color the tree green and draw ornaments in the open spaces.
Christmas Tree fun facts
- Growers trim farmed Christmas trees by hand, usually once a year, to give them their tidy cone shape.
- A fir has soft, flat needles, while a spruce has sharp, four-sided needles that roll between your fingers.
- Douglas fir, Fraser fir and noble fir are among the most popular Christmas trees in the United States.
Classroom ideas
- Pre-K (ages 3 to 5): solve the easy tree with a finger, then with a chunky crayon, as a hand-control warm-up.
- Grade 2: compare the two route lengths, 27 and 102 cells, and work out how many more cells the hard route has.
- Grades 4 to 6: work out what fraction of the hard maze's 321 cells the 102-cell route passes through.

Frequently asked questions
How much of the easy tree does the route cover?
About half of it. The route crosses 27 of the 55 cells, each 12 mm wide, on its way down through the tiers and the trunk into the pot before it leaves through the bottom. On the hard tree it crosses 102 of 321 cells of 5.5 mm and climbs into the top tier first.
Does the hard tree start near the star like the easy one?
No. The easy tree starts outside the left edge of the top tier, just below the star, while the hard tree starts lower, beside the left end of the middle tier. Finish moves too: it is below the bottom of the pot on the easy page and beside the left side of the pot, near its bottom, on the hard page.
Does the maze reach into the star and the pot?
Yes, on both levels. The paths climb into the star on top and run down through the trunk into the pot, and the hard route crosses the pot before it leaves on the left side.
Is the answer included?
Yes. The second page of every PDF draws the solution path through the tree.
