Puzzles and (non) verbal reasoning

[ohmygosh123]

My DD has a strange addiction to Bond Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning puzzles (6-7). Does anyone know of any other providers of easy reasoning puzzles as I'm having no luck. I'm having to ration them as she gets worryingly excited if I get the books out. (Not stealth boasting I promise, but she has an older friend (EFL) who I coached for 11+ and loves copying her.) She also likes sudoku kind of things which there are loads of in France.

She isn't a genius, so I need to keep them around that level (might manage 7-8), rather than climbing through the Bond levels. I do try and encourage whatever the fad of the moment is if not excessively pink and glittery so any recommendations would be fab.

There are fun puzzle games out there. My dss loved the Think Fun Shape by Shape creative puzzle game and worked their way through all the cards over the summer holidays. Penguins on Ice was another popular game.... and the ThinkFun Rush Hour game. Not quite like books of verbal and non-verbal reasoning puzzles, though...

I would also recommend the Think Fun games:
Tip Over
Chocolate Fix is a more complex logic work out

The holiday puzzle type books?

If she likes sudokus, there are lots of similar types of puzzles - I like a website called Conceptis Puzzles, they have a lot for free or you can pay for more. You can do them online or print them off.
