Dr Ruf talks about mazes in her book and the intense interest level 4 and 5 children tend to have in them at an early age. Does anyone have any experience with this. I can't keep up with DD need for them. She is 2.8 months and is doing 1st grade level mazes....I have lamenated them so that she can do them more then one time with dry erase markers. I made them into a book....she has 65, she did them all today (never seen most of these) in one sitting in 25 mins.
I have been saying based on Dr Ruf's infor DD would be high level 3 or a level 4, but based on the mazes it would be a level 4. Does anyone have experience with this? Dr. Ruf really doesn't talk about mazes much in level 3. Just curious....
Also, any idea how to get DD to slow down on her mazes...I mean motor skill wise? She looks at a maze before starting for a moment and visually figures out the path and them boom sh is off, and is not really careful to stay in the lines....you can see she knows where she is going, but she just goes so fast that it is sloppy. The easier the maze, the worse it is. I try to tell her to slow down, stay in etween the lines and her only response is "I am mom"
