Sudoku for kids

Small grids for young solvers. 4×4 uses digits 1 to 4 and 2×2 boxes; each puzzle has one answer.

Custom settings

Tips for solvers

  • Solve one puzzle together first, saying the rule out loud: each row, column and box gets 1, 2, 3 and 4 once.
  • Move up to 6×6 once 4×4 feels easy.

Want different settings? The sudoku generator lets you choose size, difficulty and how many per page.

Questions people ask

What age can kids start sudoku?

Many children can manage a 4×4 sudoku from about age 5 after a worked example, and a 6×6 from about 7.

How do I print without the answers?

Untick "Print answers" before printing. Answers are on a separate page, so you can also just print page 1.

Can I make my own instead?

Yes. The sudoku generator makes new puzzles with your own settings in a second.
