Dollar General has kids sudoku, with ones that start out with only 4 squares and shapes instead of numbers. That's how Noah got started. He can do the regular easy ones now, sometimes with a tiny bit of help. It's great for them to build logic skills, I think.

Sumduko is the same as killer suduko (I just found that out!). If he's not heard of that, I'll try and explain.

LOL...yeah he has heard of that....and he stays far far away from it!!! It intrigues him, but he can barely figure out the regular 9 blocks in the easiest level...lol.

I like that site you gave earlier up...it really explains that game very well!!!!

This 'greater than' one is interesting!

I am OCD, so I have issues with numbers and my mind, etc. I have to try very hard not to do that now with the numbers running through my mind from sukoku. When I was in high school I had a bad habit of breaking down everything people said in my mind and spelling out what they said as they were talking because my mind would get sooo bored. It took a lot of effort and years of working to break that habit, so I don't want to have to break another habit with numbers...but I HAVE to have something to do that is mentally challenging or I will go insane....yes really...I will go insane. I have found that the times after birth that I do puzzles and games I don't tend to get PPD as easily.

Status: offline 		I can't always do puzzles, but I do think doing something mentally helps me and so will try them. Sometimes, like artemis, my eyes just can't deal with the boxes though. But then sometimes my eyes can't cope with reading forums either!

I've also read that keeping your mind sharp with these kind of things can help ward off Alzheimer's and other old age dementia.

DH's grandfather is 83 or so, and he does a stack of sudoku puzzles every day to keep his mind sharp. It seems to be working well.

I like sudoku, logic puzzles, and sometimes crossword puzzles.

Status: offline 		I love puzzles of a lot of different kinds. My DH got me two huge books of Penny Press variety puzzles, and I've been really enjoying them. I voted crossword, word search, sudoku, other kind, and jigsaw puzzles. The "other kind" was for almost everything else that's in those variety puzzle books. We do jigsaw puzzles as a family sometimes, but we haven't done one in a while. Maybe it's time to start another one.

It does run in my family, many of the females on my mom's side. So now I have an excuse to buy puzzle books.
