Sound familiar?

"Can I have the iPad?"

You'd like a few screen-free hours, but it has to be something they actually want to do.

The Christmas holidays

Two weeks at home, dark by four o'clock, and everyone needs something to do while the dinner cooks.

Long journeys and waiting rooms

Car to Grandma's, train, restaurant, appointment: a clipboard and a pencil go a long way.

Grandparents

The grandchildren are coming over and you want something you can do together at the table.

Questions

What age is it for?

Roughly 5 to 10. Each page shows its level: Starter (5-6), Explorer (7-8) or Champion (9-10). Younger children may need a grown-up to read the instructions. The Champion+ Challenge in the Complete pack suits confident 9 to 11 year olds.

How do I get it?

After checkout you get a download link by email straight away. The files are PDFs you can print at home on A4.

Do I need a colour printer?

No. Every puzzle works in black and white. Colour just looks nicer.

Can I print it more than once?

Yes, as many times as your family needs. Siblings can each have their own copy.

Can I use it with my class?

Yes. Teachers, tutors and home educators may print the pages for the children they teach. Please don't share the files or upload them for others.

What's the difference between the packs?

Standard has the 200 brain games with answers, a progress chart and a certificate. Complete adds the Christmas Puzzle Countdown (48 festive puzzles), the Champion+ Challenge (40 tougher puzzles) and the Puzzle Passport reward chart.

Is VAT included?

Yes. £12 and £19 are the prices you pay.
