Sudoku for 6 Year Olds

Six is the right age to graduate to the 6×6 (digits 1 through 6). It is a meatier grid than the 4×4 but still solves by scanning — pick a row, pick a column, pick a box, find the missing digit. No traps, no dead ends. If the 6×6 turns out to feel long, the 4×4 is right there.

Sudoku for a 6-year-old — FAQ.

Are these 6×6 sudoku free to print?

Completely free — no account, no email, no watermark. Print as many as you like for home, homeschool, or the classroom.

Is a six-year-old ready for the 6×6?

Usually yes if 4×4 Easy is quick for them. If a 6×6 stalls, drop back to 4×4 Medium for a week. Momentum matters more than the grid size on the page.

Good for first grade?

Very. Print a class set at Easy. It is calm, zero-prep, and every grid has one answer — checking takes a glance.
