Name-Shaped Maze
Difficulty is more than size
A 30×30 grid is not automatically harder than a 15×15 one. What makes a maze difficult is the branching, how many false turns leave the correct path, and how far a wrong choice carries you before it dead-ends. A large maze with a low branching factor can be walked almost without thought, while a small dense one can be genuinely stubborn. The generators here expose both, so you can hold the size steady and change how twisted the path is, or the reverse.
For a first maze with a young child, a small grid with wide corridors and a short solution is the right starting point, the goal is finishing, not struggling. Solution paths can be printed on a second page whenever you want to be able to check quickly.
Shaped and themed mazes
A maze carved into a silhouette is the same puzzle with a reason to care about it. The shaped set covers hearts, stars, butterflies, dinosaurs, rockets and animals, plus letter- and number-shaped mazes that make a decent name activity, the name-shaped maze builds one from whatever word you type, which works well for a first-day-of-term display.
The seasonal mazes, Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Thanksgiving, Valentine's, carry a themed outline rather than just a themed title, so the maze itself is different rather than the same grid with new clip art.
Mazes that do something else as well
Several of these are not really mazes. The math maze and multiples maze only open a route when the answer to a calculation is correct, so the solver is doing arithmetic and the maze is the marking scheme. The alphabet-order maze does the same for letter sequence. The colour-by-path and word mazes turn the finished route into a picture or a word.
The structural variants are worth a look for older solvers: hexagonal and circular grids change how direction feels, braid mazes remove dead ends entirely so you cannot use the usual wall-following trick, one-way mazes add direction constraints, and the 3D isometric maze runs across multiple levels.
