🎉 What Makes Kids Sudoku Puzzles Different?
Traditional Sudoku uses a 9×9 grid, which may feel too challenging for younger children.
That’s why Kids’ Sudoku usually comes in smaller, simpler formats:
⭐ 4×4 Sudoku
- Easiest format
- Perfect for ages 4–7
- Only uses numbers 1 to 4
- Quick to solve and great for introducing logic
⭐ 6×6 Sudoku
- Slightly more challenging
- Ideal for ages 7–10
- Uses numbers 1 to 6
- Excellent transition before 9×9 puzzles
These smaller grids help children learn pattern recognition and reasoning without feeling overwhelmed.
