Sweet Treats Picture Sudoku
Four 4x4 picture sudoku puzzles with cupcakes, ice cream cones, donuts and lollipops instead of numbers, for ages 4 to 6. A picture key at the top shows the four pictures; the child draws or colors the missing ones so each picture appears once in every row, column and 2x2 box. The puzzles get a little harder down the page, from 4 to 7 empty squares, and page 2 is the answer key with the filled squares in pink.

About this worksheet
Four 4x4 picture sudoku puzzles with cupcakes, ice cream cones, donuts and lollipops instead of numbers, for ages 4 to 6. A picture key at the top shows the four pictures; the child draws or colors the missing ones so each picture appears once in every row, column and 2x2 box. The puzzles get a little harder down the page, from 4 to 7 empty squares, and page 2 is the answer key with the filled squares in pink. It is made for ages 4 to 6: pictures or dots instead of written numbers, and big squares for small hands. Start with the row, column or box that has the most numbers filled in.
Tips for using it
- Write small pencil notes in the corners when two numbers could fit.
- Match the size to the child: picture 4x4 at 4 to 5, number 4x4 at 5 to 6, 6x6 at 6 to 8, 9x9 from about 8.
- Solve the first puzzle together and say the thinking out loud: This row has 1, 2 and 4, so this one is 3.
- Use a pencil with an eraser; mistakes are part of sudoku.
Printing tips
