Sudoku for 4 Year Olds
A 4×4 grid with most of the digits already in place is the right first puzzle for a four-year-old. Only the numbers 1 through 4 to track, only a handful of cells to fill, and short enough that the finish arrives in one focused sitting. The finish is what makes them ask for another.

Completely free — no account, no email, no watermark. Print as many as you like for home, homeschool, or the classroom.
Is sudoku too much for a four-year-old?
The 4×4 isn't. It comes down to a single question — which of 1, 2, 3, or 4 is missing from this little line? — and the answer is always visible. Sit alongside for the first one or two; they take it over from there.
What if my four-year-old can't read numerals yet?
Often it still works — they are matching four shapes, and the shapes happen to be digits. If numbers feel too abstract, wait a few weeks. A picture edition is on the roadmap.
