‘Sudoku for Children’ game

About the game

The little gardener rabbit has prepared some unusual vegetable patches: you need to place the pictures in the right spots! Where should the carrot go, and where should the other vegetables, fruits or animals go? The clues will help you get started, but then you’ll have to think for yourself.

‘Sudoku for Children’ is a logic game featuring pictures instead of numbers. The child places the pieces according to the 3 × 3 or 4 × 4 puzzles, whilst the shadow clues help them find their way around at the start.

Every correctly completed grid is a rewarding result of careful observation and independent thinking.

In the set

• base: 31 × 23 cm
• pieces: 4 × 4 cm: vegetables, fruit, animals, gardening tools
• task cards in two levels: 3 × 3 and 4 × 4

How to play

1. Insert the task card into the base.
2. The child fills in the empty squares so that the pictures do not repeat in the same row or column.
3. The shadows on the cards indicate the correct token.
