About this puzzle
A first nonogram page for beginners, ages 6 to 7: a worked example shows in three pictures how the row numbers and then the column numbers reveal a heart, with small X marks for squares that stay empty. Then two 5x5 puzzles to solve alone, a little house and a pine tree. Answer key on page 2. Easy puzzles build confidence before moving to bigger grids.
On this sheet
How to solve: a worked example Start with the big numbers. A 5 fills the whole row of 5 squares. A 4 always covers the 3 middle squares. Put a small X in squares that must stay empty. Then do the columns the same way. Go back and forth between rows and columns until the picture is done.
Tips for using it
- Use a pencil and shade lightly; mark squares that must stay empty with a small X.
- Start with the biggest numbers and the lines that are almost full.
- Check each row against its numbers before moving on; one wrong square spreads to the columns.
- Cover the answer key (page 2) or print only page 1 for the kids.
