Sudoku for Kids

My 6-year old daughter can do a Sudoku puzzle! I was so proud. Okay, it was one with shapes and not numbers. Okay, it was only a 4x4. But she did it!

Anyway while she was working on it she asked if I was just preparing her for something they would learn in school. But this is actually more than school. I told her it is a brain exercise. Just like we must exercise to keep our body in shape, we also must exercise to keep our brains in shape. Toddlers will be working out their brains with floor puzzles. School-aged children can start working on easy Sudoku puzzles and crossword puzzles, even riddles. Just do an internet search for 'sudoku for kids' and you will find some for all levels. Puzzle on!
