4x4 Sudoku for Kids

Free 4×4 Sudoku for young kids using fruit, animal and shape pictures. Big squares, sounds, stars and friendly hints.

A 4×4 Sudoku is the perfect first logic puzzle. Each row, each column and each little 2×2 box needs one of each of four pictures. With only four pictures to place, young children can see the rule in action and finish a puzzle in a few minutes.

PuzzleCraft uses bright pictures (fruits like 🍎 🍌, animals like 🐶 🐱 and simple shapes) instead of numbers, so even pre-readers can play. Tap a square, tap a picture, and hear a happy sound when it fits.

Every solve earns stars, and badges reward finishing without hints or trying a harder level. Grown-ups can switch the sound off at the top of the page.
