Sudoku puzzles appear in almost every newspaper all over the world and simpler versions of the classical 9 x 9 matrix can serve as strong learning aids for children.
Sudoku Mini uses a 16 grid board (4 x 4) instead of the classical 81 grid and easily identified illustrations such as ball, car, apple and duck instead of numbers. Arrangements of these objects help the child of even 3 years to learn about basic concepts of logic and reasoning.
A board game book provided in this set features Mini Sudoku puzzles in which certain spaces in the 16 grid matrix are already filled with these pictures. Using tokens which carry the same pictures, the child has to place them on the matching grids on the play mat. Thereby the child learns about spatial arrangement and correlation. First time concepts of Geometry are imbibed thereby.
At this stage the child is now ready to solve Sudoku Mini using elementary logic. The aim of Sudoku Mini is to fill the remaining grids with the balance tokens so that each object appears only once in each box (there are four boxes in all) and only once in each of the 4 rows and columns. The initial puzzles are simpler and can be solved by a child of 3-4 years and elevate gradually in complexity. Language skills and logic concepts are brought home to the child during play.
Sudoku Mini is a must-have S.T.E.M learning aid (wherein scientific, technical, engineering and maths skills) for every child (age 3-7 years).
