Free puzzle and brain games for kids
Puzzles build the thinking skills children use everywhere: looking closely, planning ahead, and keeping going when something is tricky. Here are jigsaws and picture puzzles, mazes that are new every time, memory and spot-the-difference games, a calm block puzzle, a match-three garden, a jar of merging fruit, a treasure-hunting logic puzzle and chess with animal pieces.
Most of the puzzles have a hint or an undo, and every one has a gentle way to try again, so children feel clever rather than stuck.
