Sudoku Puzzles for Kids

By Michael Rios

The hotter-than-hot puzzles, now in a format just for kids Youngsters who want to start solving can have fun with these smaller sudokus that are right on their level. Instead of the usual sudoku grid, which goes from 1 to 9, most of these puzzles go only from 1 to 6. It's simpler, increases the chances for success, and minimizes frustration. At the same time, children are building their skills--and preparing themselves to work on the 22 regular-size versions that are found at the end of the book. An introduction teaches the basic sudoku rules and offers easy-to-follow hints on how to figure out which number goes where.

Sudoku Puzzles for Kids

Good for my seven year-old grandson who likes this sort of activity--he still needs some direction from me. Might be perfect for 8-9 year olds?

Highly recommended

This is a good book on Sudoku for kids. The book includes 77 puzzles. The puzzles are of two sizes: 6x6, and 9x9. The solutions are at the end of the book. There are no categrories or levels of difficulty for the puzzles. The first three pages in this book are dedicated for strategy, hints, rules, or tips. All the puzzles in the book are Classic Sudoku (with numbers). There are no Alphabet Sudoku (with letters) or Symbol Sudoku (with shapes and symbols) like the two books "Kindergarten Sudoku" and "Super Sudoku for Kids". Also, there are no simple 4x4 puzzles like some of the other books.

Great Fun!

Our family, like the rest of the world it seems, has become addicted to Suduko and my daughter is no exception. Being four she of course had to have "her own book" and we chose this one. The book, with it's larger grids and only one puzzle per page, is very kid-friendly. The difficulty level is right one the mark, the puzzles are challenging but not so difficult that a child would get discouraged. My daughter really enjoys playing Suduko and is very proud of the completed puzzles in her book, and I'm sure your child will be too. Now if she could just figure out how to tie her shoes......
