Example kids sudoku PDF preview - download options below
Free PDF sudoku sheets for children, sorted by age and grid size. Download a 4x4 shapes grid for a pre-reader as young as 3, a 4x4 starter grid for a first-time solver with numbers, a 6x6 grid for a child who has the rule down, or an easy 9x9 sheet for a child ready for the full puzzle. Built for parents, teachers and homeschoolers who want screen-free practice they can print at home or in the classroom.
No account, no email address, and no watermark blocking the puzzle. Every sheet includes a Name and Date line, so it works as a worksheet straight out of the printer.
Each download has 8 puzzles, 4 per page, sized for a 6x6 grid.
Each grid size teaches the same core rule, no number repeats in a row, a column, or a box, but at a pace that matches a child's age and patience. Pick the level below that matches where your child is right now.
Sudoku before your child knows their numbers. This grid uses four simple shapes, a circle, a square, a triangle and a star, instead of digits, so a pre-reader who cannot count past 4 yet can still play. The rule is exactly the same as every other sudoku on this page: no shape repeats in any row, column or box.
Teaches the core rule with the smallest possible grid. Uses only the numbers 1 to 4, arranged in four small 2x2 boxes. Most children solve a 4x4 sheet in a few minutes, which keeps a young child's attention and gives them a quick win before they lose interest.
The step up once 4x4 feels easy. Uses numbers 1 to 6, with boxes that are wider than they are tall, two rows by three columns. That shape is a small new idea for a child to notice, without changing the underlying rule at all.
The real thing, with generous clues. This is the traditional 9x9 grid with nine 3x3 boxes, the same format used in newspapers and puzzle books, but with more starting numbers filled in so a child ready for it is not stuck staring at an empty grid.
These sheets are made to be used in a classroom or a homeschool routine, not just at the kitchen table. Every puzzle has a Name and Date line printed under the header, so a stack of sheets is ready to hand out or file without extra prep.
Photocopying these sheets for your own classroom is allowed and encouraged. Print one master copy from the PDF and run off as many copies as your class needs.
A short walkthrough for the first puzzle usually matters more than the puzzle itself. These steps work for most children on their first 4x4 sheet.
The 4x4 shapes puzzles suit pre-readers ages 3 to 5 who are not yet comfortable with numbers, using four simple shapes in place of digits. The 4x4 puzzles suit children ages 4 to 6 who are just learning to fill a grid without repeating a number. The 6x6 puzzles work well for ages 6 to 8, once a child is comfortable with the basic rule. The 9x9 easy puzzles are a good fit from age 8 and up, including kids who are ready for the traditional format with plenty of clues already filled in.

Start with the 4x4 shapes grid for a pre-reader as young as 3, since it swaps numbers for four simple shapes so a child does not need to know their numbers yet. Move to the 4x4 number grid for a first-time solver or a child under 6 once they are comfortable with numbers 1 to 4. Move up to 6x6 once the core rule clicks, then to the easy 9x9 when a child is ready for a bigger challenge.
Yes. Every download generates a fresh set of puzzles using our sudoku engine, and each one is checked to confirm it has exactly one valid solution before it goes into the PDF. You will not get the same sheet twice.
