Easy Nonograms for Kids (5x5)
Updated November 2026 · 6 free printables
Easy 5x5 nonograms for beginners, ages 6 and 7: six pages with 22 small picture logic puzzles.
About these printables
The first page is a lesson. It solves a heart step by step (first the rows, then the columns, with red X marks on squares that stay empty) and then leaves a house and a pine tree for your child to do alone.
The other five pages have four puzzles each, grouped by theme: animals (a cat face, a fish, a bunny, a duck), yummy food (an apple, a mushroom, an ice cream cone, cherries), things that go (a rocket, a sailboat, a car and a bus), a star, a crown, a robot and an arrow, and a Christmas set with a bell, a gift, a candle and a candy cane. Kids write what they found on the line under each grid.

Frequently asked questions
How should a beginner start?
Print How to Solve Nonograms first and do the worked example together. Point to a row, read its number aloud and count the squares with a finger. After the two practice puzzles most 6 and 7 year olds can do a 5x5 page alone.
My child shaded a square by mistake. What now?
Use a pencil and shade lightly, or mark empty squares with a small X instead of leaving them blank. If a row cannot match its numbers any more, erase that row and check its numbers again.
What comes after 5x5?
The 8x8 pages: two puzzles per page, each with a one-line hint, and thick lines every four squares to make counting easier.
