About this worksheet
A cut-and-paste picture sudoku for preschool and kindergarten with balls, kites, drums and spinning tops. Two 4x4 puzzles sit at the top; under the dashed line are exactly the pieces each puzzle needs (6 and 6). Kids cut the squares out, try them in the empty spots and glue them down once every row, column and 2x2 box has all four pictures. Scissor practice and logic in one page; answer key on page 2. It is made for ages 4 to 6: pictures or dots instead of written numbers, and big squares for small hands. Write small pencil notes in the corners when two numbers could fit.

- 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.
