Easter Picture Sudoku Puzzles

Looks like the Easter Bunny left some sudoku puzzles for the kids!

In classic sudoku, the objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 subgrids that compose the grid contains all of the digits from 1 to 9.

I know that when I first tackled sudoku, it took me a while to figure out how to figure them out! It really is a game of logic and deduction!

This picture version uses a less confusing 4×4 grid and the free printable Easter picture sudoku puzzles are a great introduction to sudoku for kids! (And for adults who can’t quite figure out how to solve these puzzles!)

Just print out the puzzles and let the Easter Sudoku fun begin!

How To Play Picture Sudoku

In the free printable sudoku for you to download, there are six puzzles to try and solve – three are an easy level with 4 missing images to put in place, and three are medium level with 8 missing images.

• Each image must appear once and only once in each row, column, and 2×2 subgrid.
• To complete the puzzle, cut out the picture tiles underneath the sudoku grid then place the picture tiles in the empty spaces.

The cutout picture tiles are easily rearrangeable so that kids can experiment with the position of each image and learn how to play sudoku without getting frustrated.

Once satisfied, they can stick the tiles down and check the solution (and I’ve included those in the printable, as well as an instruction sheet, and the instructions at the top of each puzzle).

You can, of course, set the puzzle up for your kids by cutting out the grid and tiles – maybe even laminating them for longevity.

Suggested Art Supplies

I like to keep a good stash of art supplies so that I am always ready when my nieces and nephews come to visit. You don’t need all the things on my suggested art supplies list, but I wanted to share some of my favorites with you.

• I love Crayola Super Tips – they come in boxes of various amounts – I’ve got the 100 count box as you can never have too many colors!
• If your child (or you!) prefers to use crayons, I don’t think you can go wrong with classic Crayolas, again they come in various counts.
• Prefer colored pencils? I really don’t think you can go wrong with Crayolas for coloring!
• They also have fun scented pencils which will no doubt bring the holiday coloring page alive with smells!
• Does your child like to paint? I bought this Arteza Kid’s Watercolor Kit for my 6-year-old niece and she loves it!
• Want to add some sparkle? Add glitter! Crayola has a 25 count set, and a 9 count set of glitter glue.
• For puzzle and activity sheets, make sure you have writing pencils, an eraser, and a pencil sharpener.
• Highlighter pens are perfect for marking off words in word search puzzles.
