Will it Move? Worksheet: Printable PDF for Kids - Free Printable

To solve this maze, we need to find a path from the Start (the fan in the center) to the Finish (the yellow balloon at the top).

The rule is: Only follow items that the fan will move.
This means we can only pass through light objects that wind or air can blow. Heavy objects or things stuck to the ground will not move.

Let's look at the items near the Start and see which ones are light enough to be moved by a fan:

1. Rock: Too heavy. The fan won't move it.
2. Sneaker: Too heavy.
3. Cat: Too heavy (and alive!).
4. Scissors: Metal, too heavy.
5. Camera: Too heavy.
6. Stuffed Bunny: Soft, but usually too heavy for a small fan to blow away easily compared to other options. Let's keep looking for lighter things.
7. Apple: Too heavy.
8. Book: Too heavy.
9. Drink with straw: Too heavy.
10. Leaf: Very light! A fan can definitely blow a leaf. ✔
11. Paper: Very light! A fan can blow paper. ✔
12. Feather: Very light! A fan can blow a feather. ✔
13. Pen: Might roll, but usually too heavy to be "blown" like a leaf. Let's stick to the very light things first.
14. Pie: Too heavy.
15. Balloon: Light, but it's the finish line.

Now let's trace the path using only the light items:

- Start at the Fan.
- The closest light item is the Leaf (orange, above the fan). Let's go there.
- From the Leaf, where can we go? The paths connect to:
- The Drink (too heavy)
- The Pen (probably too heavy)
- The Paper (light!) ✔
- So, go from Leaf to Paper.
- From the Paper, where can we go?
- The Pie (too heavy)
- The Feather (light!) ✔
- So, go from Paper to Feather.
- From the Feather, where can we go?
- The Sneaker (too heavy)
- The Cat (too heavy)
- The path leads up towards the outer ring. Let's check the connections.
- Actually, looking closely at the maze lines:
- From Feather, the path goes left towards the Sneaker (dead end, too heavy) and up towards the Pie (dead end, too heavy). Wait, let me re-check the connections.

Let me carefully trace the blue lines again:

1. Start at Fan.
2. Path goes up to Leaf. (Light object - OK)
3. From Leaf, path goes right to Paper. (Light object - OK)
4. From Paper, path goes right to Feather. (Light object - OK)
5. From Feather, the path curves up and left. It connects to the outer ring. Let's see what's on that outer ring section.
- The path from Feather goes up, then turns left. It passes near the Pie but doesn't connect to it directly as a step? No, looking at the maze walls:
- From Feather, you can go UP into the next concentric circle. That path leads to... let's see... it connects to the path coming from the Pen? Or does it go to the Balloon?

Let's try another route from the beginning to be sure.

Alternative Path Check:
- Start -> Leaf
- Leaf -> Paper
- Paper -> Feather
- From Feather, follow the blue line UP. It enters the third ring out.
- In that ring, the path goes LEFT. What item is there? The Pen is in that ring. Is a pen light enough? Maybe if it's a plastic pen, but compared to a leaf/feather/paper, it's heavier. However, sometimes these mazes consider "rollable" or "light-ish" things. But let's see if there's a better path.
- Wait, look at the Balloon. The Finish is the Balloon. The balloon is light and will move/fly. So the last step must be to the Balloon.
- How do we get to the Balloon?
- The Balloon is in the outermost ring.
- The path to the Balloon comes from the left (from the Drink?) or from the right (from the Pen?).
- Let's trace back from the Balloon.
- To reach the Balloon, you must come from the Pen's area or the Drink's area.
- The Drink is heavy. So probably not from the Drink.
- The Pen is in the ring inside the outermost one. If we can get to the Pen, we can go to the Balloon.

So, is the path: Fan -> Leaf -> Paper -> Feather -> Pen -> Balloon?

Let's verify if each item moves:
- Leaf: Yes, very light.
- Paper: Yes, very light.
- Feather: Yes, very light.
- Pen: This is the tricky one. Will a fan move a pen? It might roll it. But is there an alternative?
- Let's look at the other side.
- Fan -> ... is there a path to the left?
- Fan -> Apple (Heavy, no)
- Fan -> Rock (Heavy, no)
- Fan -> Camera (Heavy, no)
- Fan -> Scissors (Heavy, no)
- Fan -> Bunny (Heavy, no)
- Fan -> Book (Heavy, no)
- Fan -> Drink (Heavy, no)

So the ONLY exit from the start that involves a light object is the Leaf.

From Leaf:
- Left: Connects to Drink (Heavy) and Book (Heavy). Dead ends.
- Right: Connects to Paper (Light). This is the way.

From Paper:
- Up: Connects to Leaf (backwards).
- Down: Connects to Apple (Heavy). Dead end.
- Right: Connects to Feather (Light). This is the way.

From Feather:
- Down: Connects to Sneaker (Heavy) and Cat (Heavy). Dead ends.
- Up: Connects to the ring containing the Pen.

From the ring with the Pen:
- The path from Feather leads into this ring.
- In this ring, we have the Pen and the Pie.
- The Pie is heavy.
- The Pen is the only item here. If we assume the pen can be moved (rolled/blown), then we go to the Pen.
- From the Pen, the path goes UP to the Balloon (Finish).

Does the fan move a pen? In the context of this worksheet, "items that the fan will move" likely includes things that are light *or* can be easily displaced by air. A plastic pen is much lighter than a rock, shoe, or camera. Compared to the other options in that section (Pie), the Pen is the only plausible choice. Also, balloons are filled with air/helium and float/move easily.

So the sequence is:
1. Leaf (moved by wind)
2. Paper (moved by wind)
3. Feather (moved by wind)
4. Pen (can be rolled/blown by strong fan, lighter than surrounding heavy items)
5. Balloon (Finish - moves/flies)

Let's double check if there's any other interpretation.
What about the Bunny? Could a fan move a stuffed bunny? Unlikely.
What about the Scissors? No.
What about the Apple? No.

The path seems unique:
Start -> Leaf -> Paper -> Feather -> Pen -> Finish (Balloon)

Let's confirm the connections visually one more time.
- Center: Fan.
- Exit up: Leads to Leaf.
- From Leaf: Right turn leads to Paper.
- From Paper: Right turn leads to Feather.
- From Feather: Upward curve leads to the ring with the Pen.
- From that ring: The path continues past the Pen location upwards to the Balloon.

Yes, this is the only continuous path made of "movable" objects.

Final Answer:
The correct path is: Leaf → Paper → Feather → Pen → Balloon (Finish)
