The most thoughtful pack we make. A logic grid, two coded messages, a 9×9 sudoku, a large maze and spot-the-difference. No arithmetic anywhere - just patience.
Sudoku with no numbers at all. Four puzzles using stars, hearts, circles and squares - the same logic as the grown-up version, with nothing to read or count.
The stepping stone into real sudoku: four 4×4 grids using 1 to 4, then two 6×6 grids using 1 to 6. Every puzzle has exactly one answer, and every answer is included.
Four full-size puzzles graded gentle, steady, tricky and fiendish. Each one is computer-checked to have a single solution, so there is always exactly one right answer to find.
Four mazes that grow from an easy warm-up to a 22×28 monster, plus solutions and the wall-following trick that gets you out of every maze in the pack.
Three grid puzzles solved purely by reasoning: who owns which pet, what is in the lunchbox, and who wore which vest at sports day. Each has exactly one answer.
Four secret messages hidden behind a number cipher, with the key to crack them and lines to write out what they say.
Two nearly identical scenes with five deliberate changes. The answer page circles every one, so nobody has to argue about it.
Sixteen words about trees, weather and minibeasts, hidden across, down, diagonally and backwards. Solution page included.
Sixteen words from asteroid to telescope. A step harder than the nature one - its words are longer, such as telescope and asteroid.
Sixteen words about how a body works, from artery to tongue. Good alongside a science topic at school.
Add the two bricks below to fill the brick above. Six pyramids that turn addition practice into something that feels like a puzzle.
Four big outline scenes from the meadow - an open storybook, butterflies over flowers, a sunny hill, and a curious snail. Thick lines for small hands.
A friendly owl, a happy hedgehog, a whale in the deep, and a rocket to the stars. Bold outlines that survive a draft-quality print.
A twelve-fold mandala and a page of twenty pattern squares. Repetitive, absorbing, and unexpectedly calming for older children.
Two hidden pictures that only appear as you colour. Numbers map to colours in a key - the key names each colour.
Six pictures to reveal by joining the numbers: butterfly, sailboat, rocket, cat, fish and house. Answer pages show what each one becomes.
Eight puppets to colour, cut out and wear on a finger - bear, fox, rabbit, owl, cat, mouse, hedgehog and hare - plus five ideas for the show.
Eight bookmarks to colour in and cut out, each with a short line on it. A small reward for finishing a chapter.
Twenty-four cut-out prompts - a character, a place, and a problem. Draw one of each and you have a story before you have finished shuffling.
Four opening scenes with a box to draw in and lines to write on. For the child who says they have nothing to write about.
Twelve riddles printed as cards with the answers on the back. For car journeys, lunchboxes, or a rainy afternoon.
One page per table from 2 to 10. Each starts with the whole table written out, then twelve mixed questions, then six division questions working backwards.
Four-line ruled sheets with grey letters to trace along every line. Lower case, capitals, and the words children write most often.
A one-page chart for saving towards something specific: what it costs, what you already have, forty boxes to colour in as you save, and a weekly table of what you put aside. Pairs with Money Makes Sense.
Plan a lemonade stand, a card shop, or a dog-walking round: what you will make, what it costs, what you will charge. Pairs with Big Ideas.
A proper scientist's record sheet: what you think will happen, what actually happened, and whether your guess was right. Print one per experiment.
Nothing matches that combination.and start again.
Everything is sized for A4. On US Letter, choose Fit to page and nothing will be cut off.
The colouring pages, mazes and dot-to-dots use thick black outlines on purpose, so draft or economy quality is fine - worth choosing if a child is going to work through several.
Every sheet is free to print at home, at school, or in a library, as many times as you like. Please do not sell them or repost the files elsewhere.
The sudoku, mazes and word searches are generated, not copied. Every sudoku is checked by computer to have exactly one solution before it ships, which matters more than it sounds: a puzzle with two answers cannot be reasoned out, and a child who gets stuck on one has no way of knowing the puzzle was at fault.
The logic puzzles are checked the same way - the clues are proved to admit exactly one arrangement.
New packs are added regularly. The newsletter is how we tell people, a few times a year.
